Braking system warning
light
This indicates:
- handbrake applied or incorrectly released,
- a n e x c e s s i v e d r o p i n t h e b r a k e fl u - id level, in this case linked with the
STOP warning light,
- an electronic brake force distribu- tion malfunction, linked with the
STOP warning light.
WARNING LIGHTS WHICH ARE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Seat belt warning light
When the ignition is switched
on, the warning light comes
on if a front occupant has not
fastened his seat belt or if he
unfastens it.
Fuel warning light
In certain driving conditions
and depending on the en-
gine, the distance which you
will be able to travel with
the remaining fuel may be less than
30 miles (50 kilometres) (the capacity
of the tank is approximately 67 litres).
Emission control system
warning light
This should switch off a few
seconds after the engine is
switched on.
When the engine is running, if the
w a r n i n g l i g h t fl a s h e s o r c o m e s o n c o n -
tinuously, this indicates an emission
control system malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible. Passenger air bag
disarmed warning light *
If the warning light remains
on, this indicates that the
passenger air bag has been
disarmed intentionally.
This warning light is re-
peated on the instrument
panel screen in the case
of the last 2 faults.
Stop immediately in the two latter
cases. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) warning light
If it comes on continuously
above 6 mph (10 km/h), it in-
dicates an ABS fault.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
This warning light is re-
peated on the instrument
panel screen.
Directional headlamps
warning light
W h e n t h i s fl a s h e s , i t i n d i -
cates a malfunction of the
directional headlamps.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Diesel engine pre-heat
warning light
Wait for the warning light to
switch off before starting.
The duration of the display
is determined by the exterior
climatic conditions.
This warning light is re-
peated on the instrument
panel screen.

warning light
This indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
For your safety, have them replaced
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

(according to version)
With the engine running, this
indicates that the fuel tank
cap is incorrectly secured or
absent.
It comes on in orange if the vehicle
speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) and
in red if the vehicle speed is above 6
mph (10 km/h).

mph (10 km/h). Air bags warning light
This indicates an air bag
fault.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

matic headlamp height ad-
juster is faulty.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) incorporates the following sys-
tems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the braking system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance system,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Traction control (ASR)
The ASR system optimises traction in
order to avoid wheel slip by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the
directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
If there is a difference between the
path followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the DSC moni-
tors each wheel and automatically acts
on the brake of one or more wheels
and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of
the laws of physics.
Operating modes
Definitions
Emergency braking assistance
system
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed
at which the brake pedal is pressed.
This is felt by a reduction in the resis-
tance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking. 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 ve-
hicle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to
the STOP and ABS warn-
ing lights, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) and braking
system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The braking system provides integral
management of the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and braking system (EBFD)

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs, the
warning light comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The DSC offers improved
safety during normal driving
but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks (late
braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaranteed
on condition that the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Warning light on the instru-
ment panel.
The indicator light comes on.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in mud, immo-
bilised in snow, on unstable ground…),
it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch light and the indicator light
come on: the DSC no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.
Indicator light on the instrument
panel.
Reactivation
Automatic when the ignition is
switched off,
Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h),
Manual by pressing the switch
again.
