When the engine is running or the vehi-
cle is 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.
Lighting of the service warning
light indicates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the systems
which does not have a specifi c
warning light.
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 opera-
tion 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.

A door, the boot, the rear screen
or the bonnet is still open:
- if the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning light comes on continuously,
- if the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h), this warning light comes on continuously,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened.

Triggering
This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and fl ashing of the direction indicators for
approximately thirty seconds.
After it has been triggered, the alarm is
again operational. If the alarm is triggered ten times in
succession, the eleventh time will
result in it becoming inactive.
If the indicator light on button A
fl ashes rapidly, this indicates that
the alarm was triggered during
your absence. When the ignition is
switched on, this fl ashing stops im-
mediately.
To avoid triggering the alarm when
washing your vehicle, lock it using
the key.
Do not activate the alarm before
disconnecting the battery, otherwise
the siren will sound. Failure of the remote control

 Unlock the vehicle using the key in
the driver’s door lock

 Open the door; the alarm is triggered.

 Switch on the ignition; the alarm
stops.
* According to country.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, lighting
of the indicator light on button A for ten
seconds indicates a siren fault.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Locking the vehicle without alarm

 Lock or deadlock the vehicle using
the key in the driver’s door lock. Automatic operation *
Depending on the legislation in force in
your country, one of these cases may
occur:
- 45 seconds after the vehicle is
locked using the remote control, the
alarm is activated, regardless of the
status of the doors and boot.
- 2 minutes after the last door or the boot is closed, the alarm is activated.

 To avoid triggering the alarm on
entering the vehicle, fi rst press the
unlocking button on the remote
control.

CHILD SAFETY
89
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child’s shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child’s
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child’s protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses
keeping the
slack in relation to the child’s body to
a minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back
of the child seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle’s seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any dis-
comfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to infl ate. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS *
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function display, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lights, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, ena-
bles you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
* According to country.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
