INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
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 requiring interven-
tion on the part of the driver. Central alert.
Lighting is associated with
the displaying of another
warning light:
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- power steering,
- engine oil pressure,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Service.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a problem in one
of the systems which does not
h a v e a s p e c i fi c w a r n i n g l i g h t .
In order to identify it, consult the mes-
sage on the multifunction display. Braking.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in one of
the braking systems:
- s i g n i fi c a n t d r o p i n t h e l e v e l i n t h e circuit,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous lighting
of the ABS warning light),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
When the vehicle is moving, check that
the handbrake is fully released.
Any fault resulting in the displaying
of a warning light must be the sub-
ject of further diagnostics by read-
ing the associated message on the
multifunction display.
Should you encounter any prob-
lems, do not hesitate to contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Warning lights
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the anti-
lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent opera-
tion of the vehicle’s assisted braking.
Common warning lights
After checking:
- that the doors, boot and bonnet are
closed,
- the engine oil level,
- t h e s c r e e n w a s h fl u i d l e v e l ,
- the remote control battery,
- the pressure of the tyres,
- the end of saturation of the particle e m i s s i o n fi l t e r ( D i e s e l ) ,

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m m u s t
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " p a r a g r a p h )
to ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be
checked cold, at least once a
month. Remember to check the
pressure of the spare wheel.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
S e n s o r s fi t t e d i n e a c h v a l v e t r i g g e r a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning light is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction display,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Flat tyre The
STOP warning light comes
on and/or this warning light is
displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction display locat-
ing the wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction display, accompanied
by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a

SAFETY
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 distribu-tion (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
the pressure. When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
ti-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.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer. 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
i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
pressure.
