Recommendations for approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table oppo-site are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the opti- mum range of viscosity depending on thetemperatures at which the oils are to beused. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of "superior quality". In the absence of semi-synthetic or syn-
thetic oils, oils of ACEA A1/A2 and API
SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or
ACEA B1/B2 and API CD/CF quality (fordiesel engines) may be used by followingthe 'Arduous Conditions' servicingschedule, which specifies shorter serviceintervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a
PEUGEOT dealer to maintain drivingpleasure and to minimise the mainte-nance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force distribution warning light. This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
Ð that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
Ð an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the handbrake released),
Ð lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfunction of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the particu- late emission filter warn-ing light (diesel engine) Display of this warning light
is accompanied by an audible signal.The flashing of this light while the engine is running is caused either bythe particulate emission filter beingoverloaded or by the engine runningtoo long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil-ter clogging if the same conditions ofoperation are maintained. As soon as possible, drive for at least three minutes at a speedexceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h),where driving conditions allow this. If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light comes on.
ASR/ESP Electronic Stability Programmeindicator light This comes on for a few
seconds each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light stays on or comes on while the engine is run-
ning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer. When the engine is running and the vehicle is moving, it flashes if thesystem is activated. It is lit continuously when it is dis- armed.

Special points relating to the transportation of children on thefront passenger seat* Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe intermediate longitudinal posi-tion and leave the passenger air bagarmed. The transportation of children in the rearwards facing position is permit-ted. In this position, it is essential todisarm the passenger air bag. Otherwise, the child would risk beingkilled or seriously injured if the airbag were to inflate.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safe- ty of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
Ð Since 1992, all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX
mountings.
Ð A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearwards facing posi-
tion both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends that chil-dren should travel in the "rearwards facing" position up to the age of two.
Ð Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of chil-dren are the rear seats. PEUGEOT recommends that children travel in therear even when a "rearwards facing" child seat is used.
Ð If a child is travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat belt passes over the child's thighs correctly. The chest section of the seat beltmust be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck. PEU-
GEOT recommends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with a seatbelt guide at shoulder level.
Ð Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.

THE ALARM SYSTEM*
This offers two types of protection: ¥
external , it sounds if a door, the
bonnet or the boot is opened.
¥ internal , it sounds if there is air
movement in the passenger com- partment (a broken window ormovement inside the vehicle).
Note: it also has an anti-tamper
function; if there is an attempt to tam-per with the wires to the siren, the
control unit or the battery, the sirensounds and the direction indicatorslight. Setting
Switch the ignition off and get out of the vehicle. Set the alarm within five minutes fol- lowing your exit from the vehicle bylocking using the remote control (thered light on the switch, visible fromthe outside, flashes every secondand the direction indicators come onpermanently for two seconds).
5 seconds later, internal protection is set.
45 seconds later, external protection is set. When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds for thirty seconds. After it has been triggered, the alarm is operational again. Note:
if you wish to lock your vehicle
without setting the alarm, lock it using the lock.
Warning
When the alarm is triggered, if a door, the boot or the bonnet are not closed
correctly, the siren sounds for amoment. Close the vehicle correctlyto set the alarm. Disarming Unlock the vehicle using the remote control key (the direction indicatorsflash for two seconds and the redlight on the switch goes out). Note:
if the red warning light flashes,
it is a sign that the alarm has been triggered during your absence.

THE HANDBRAKE
To apply When parking on a slope, turn the wheels towards the kerb and applythe handbrake.
To release Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake and movethe vehicle.
Disarming the ESP/ASR systems In certain exceptional conditions
(vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or onloose ground...), it could prove useful
to disarm the ASR and ESP systemsto make the wheels spin and regaingrip. 
Press the switch "ESP OFF", sit-
uated to the left of the steering wheel.
The switch lights up and the indicatorlights come on, accompanied by themessage '' ASR/ESP de-activated''
on the multi-function display: the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
affect the operation of the engine orthe brakes. They engage again: automatically when the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain. The ASR/ESP systemsoffer increased safety dur-ing normal driving, butshould not incite the driver
to take risks or to drive at highspeed. The operation of these systems is assured on condition that therecommendations of the manufac-turer regarding the wheels (tyresand wheel rims), the braking com-ponents, the electronic compo-nents and the assembly andrepair procedures within thePEUGEOT network are respected. After an accident or impact, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check When a system malfunctionoccurs, the switch lightflashes and the indicatorlight comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer tocheck the system.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESPsystem automatically acts on theengine and the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
