moving,  the  lighting  of  one  of  the  following 
warning lights indicates the occurrence of a fault 
which requires action on the part of the driver.   Centralised alert.  
 Lighting  of  the  centralised  
alert  is  associated  with  the 
lighting  of  another  warning 
light: 
   -   punctured wheel,  
  -   braking, 
  -   engine oil pressure, 
  -   coolant temperature.  
It  is  imperative  that  the  vehicle  is  
stopped as soon as it is safe to do so.      Service.

 To  identify  the  problem,  consult  the 
message on the multifunction display.  
 After checking: 
   -   the remote control battery, 
  -   the engine oil level, 
  -   the screenwash level,  
 for  other  cases,  contact  a   PEUGEOT   
dealer.  
  Punctured tyre.  
 The lighting of this warning light  
indicates that one or more tyres 
are  punctured.  It  is  imperative 
that the vehicle is stopped as soon as it 
is safe to do so.  
 Change the damaged wheel and have it  
repaired by a  PEUGEOT  dealer.  
  Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS).  
  The lighting of this warning light  
indicates  the  occurrence  of  a 
fault  in  the  anti-lock  braking 
system. 
 However,  this  does  not  prevent  the  op-
eration of the vehicle's assisted braking.  
 Any fault resulting in the lighting of 
a warning light must be the subject 
of  further  diagnostics  by  reading 
the  associated  message  on  the 
multifunction display.  
 If a problem arises, do not hesitate  
to contact a  PEUGEOT  dealer.

  The  ESP/ASR  systems  offer  ex- 
ceptional  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  
systems  depends  on  observation 
of  the  manufacturer's  recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, 
the electronic components and the 
 PEUGEOT   assembly  and  opera-
tion procedures.  
 After  an  impact,  have  these  sys- 
tems  checked  by  a   PEUGEOT  
dealer.   
   Disarming  
 In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  a  
vehicle  which  is  bogged  down,  stuck 
in  snow,  on  soft  ground,  ...),  it  may  be 
advisable  to  disarm  the  ASR  and  ESP 
systems,  so  that  the  wheels  can  move 
freely and regain grip.     
     Press the   "ESP OFF"   button, locat-
ed in the centre of the fascia.  
 If  this  warning  light  comes  on  on  the  in-
strument  panel  and  the  indicator  light  on 
the  button  comes  on,  this  indicates  that 
the ASR and ESP systems are disarmed.  
  Reactivation  
 These systems are reactivated automat- 
ically  each  time  the  ignition  is  switched 
back  on  or  from  30  mph  (50 km/h)  (ex-
cept  in  the  case  of  the  1.6  l  16V  THP 
175 bhp petrol engine).  
   
     Press  the    "ESP  OFF"    button  again 
to reactivate them manually.   
  Operating fault 
 If  this  warning  light  comes  on,  
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction  display,  this  indicates 
a malfunction of these systems.  
  Have  them  checked  by  a  PEUGEOT  
dealer.

SYSTEMS  
  Activation  
 These  systems  are  activated  automati- 
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
  Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and  
electronic stability programme 
(ESP)  
 The  anti-skid  regulation  optimises  trac- 
tion  to  prevent  skidding  of  the  wheels, 
by  acting  on  the  brakes  of  the  driving 
wheels and on the engine.  
 The electronic stability programme acts  
on the brake of one or more wheels and 
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 
trajectory required by the driver.  
 They  come  into  operation  in 
the  event  of  a  grip  or  trajectory 
problem.

this  warning  light  on  the  instru-
ment panel.      Steering/ESP coupling system  
(SSP)  
 This  system  optimises  the  stability  of  
the  vehicle  and  its  braking  capacity  by 
combining  the  actions  of  the  ESP  and 
electric power steering when braking on 
surfaces  on  which  the  grip  of  the  right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.  
 It  permits  increased  braking  of  the  
wheels  which  are  in  contact  with  the 
section of road offering the higher level 
of grip and, anticipating the instability of 
the  vehicle,  the  application  of  a  slight 
correction  to  the  turning  angle  of  the 
wheels  to  assist  the  driver  in  maintain-
ing his trajectory.

  "Auto sequential" mode  
 In the automated mode, you can resume  
control temporarily at any time using the 
steering wheel controls.  
 The use of these controls permits man- 
ual  selection  of  the  gears  in  situations 
which  require  a  more  rapid  change-
down  than  in  the  automated  mode  (ar-
rival at a roundabout, leaving a car park 
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).  
 The gearbox engages the required gear if  
the engine speed permits.  AUTO  remains 
displayed on the instrument panel.  
 After a few minutes, the gearbox resumes  
automatic control of the gears.     "Snow" automated mode  
 In  the  automated  mode,  if  the  vehi- 
cle  detects  poor  grip,  the  gearbox  will 
change automatically to the "snow" au-
tomated mode.  
  Stopping the vehicle  
 Before switching off the engine, you can  
change to position

 In  this  case,  it  is  imperative  that  you 
apply  the  handbrake  to  immobilise  the 
vehicle.   
  Reinitialisation  
 Following  disconnection  of  the  battery,  
the gearbox must be reinitialised.
