HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights *
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the haz-
ard warning lights come on automati-
cally. They switch off automatically the
i rst time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.
* According to country.
Press one of the spokes of the steer-
ing wheel.
Press the button, the direction indica-
tors l ash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC
BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the elec-
tronic brake force distribution, increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on poor
or slippery road surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking. When this warning light comes
on, connected to the
STOP
and ABS warning lights, ac-
companied by a buzzer and
a message, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The effect
of this is a reduction in the resistance
of the pedal and an increase in brak-
ing efi ciency.
In emergency braking, press
very i rmly without releasing
the pressure.

The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
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 wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP sys-
tem automatically acts on the engine
and the brake of one or more wheels, in
order to put the vehicle back on course,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The warning light l ashes
when the ASR or ESP is ac-
tivated. Disarming
Reactivation:

 Automatic if the ignition is switched
off.

 Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h).


Manual by pressing the switch again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light l ashes and the warn-
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer’s recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the elec-
tronic components, as well as the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the ignition is on, the
ASR and ESP systems are
always activated. Operating check
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be ad-
visable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the ESP OFF switch, located
under the steering wheel to the
left.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction (speed greater
than 15 mph [25 km/h]). Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction
display, indicates that under-
inl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
Pressure check
With the ignition on and after
the engine oil level, this warn-
ing light comes on to indicate
that the system is measuring
the pressure of the tyres.
Pressure OK This warning light comes on
if all of the tyre pressure val-
ues measured are correct.
If one of the warning lights
described below appears,
refer to the corresponding paragraph.
If none of the lights appear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked. Under-inl ated tyre
This warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, locat-
ing the del ated tyre.
Have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display locating the
punctured tyre, is followed
by illumination of the STOP-
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very del ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel i tted with this
system must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

The tyre under-inl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
This system does not remove the ne-
cessity for having the tyre pressure
(including that of the spare wheel)
checked regularly, to ensure optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
and to prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in the case of ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be dis-
turbed by radio broadcasts on a fre-
quency close to it.

Note: if the damaged tyre is
temporarily stored in the boot,
it will again emit this message
to remind you of the necessity
of having it repaired. This will prevent
another warning of the same type be-
ing displayed.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
tyres is away from the vehi-
cle (being repaired) or when a
wheel without a sensor is i tted.

SEAT BELTS
The rear seats are all i tted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt with
force limiter.
Safety in the event of a frontal
impact has been improved by
the introduction of seat belts
with pre-tensioner and force
limiter connected to the front air bags.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts i rmly
against the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.
With the vehicle station-
ary, when the ignition is
switched on, the warn-
ing light comes on if the
driver and/or the front
passenger has not fas-
tened his seat belt.
Front seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter Front seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning

 Check that it is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
To unlock the seat belts

 Press the red button on the buckle,
then remove the end. Seat belt warning light
Before moving off, the driver
must ensure that all passen-
gers have fastened their seat
belts.
When the vehicle is stationary, igni-
tion on, if the driver and/or the front
passenger has not fastened his
seat belt, the warning light on the
instrument panel comes on, then
from approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) and for
two minutes, this warning light l ashes accom-
panied by an audible signal which increases
in volume. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, the warning light remains on until the
driver or front passenger fastens his seat belt.
This warning light is always accompanied by a
message on the multifunction display.
When the vehicle is moving, the warning light
comes on if the driver or front passenger un-
fastens his seat belt.

Note: a bag or a pet placed on the front pas-
senger seat may trigger the lighting of this
warning light.
