SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alternately
on the instrument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel display, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lights come on, linked
with the warnings on the instrument panel
display, they indicate a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the ve-
hicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
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. The warning light comes on for
a few seconds when the ignition
is switched on (ON position). If it
does not switch off or does not
come on, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the
vehicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
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.

DRIVING
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
play fl ashes, the vehicle switches auto-
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in
sandy or muddy areas or in
other areas in which the wheels
could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
uneven terrain (risk of scraping
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl atbed.
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alter-
nately and if "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"
is displayed on the instrument panel, the
system has failed and the safety system has
been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
After changing a wheel
When using the "space-saving"
spare wheel, do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the pressure of the spare
wheel checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.
Have the punctured wheel re-
paired and replace it on the vehi-
cle as soon as possible.
Fitting the wheel
List of operations

 Lower the vehicle fully.

 Fold the jack 2 and detach it.
 Lock the anti-theft bolt using the
wheelbrace 1 fi tted with the anti-
theft socket 5 (if your vehicle is
equipped with one).

 Lock the other bolts using the wheel-
brace 1 only.

 Store the tools (refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools").
Fitting snow tyres
If you equip your vehicle with
snow tyres fi tted on steel wheel
rims, it is imperative that spe-
cial bolts available from your
PEUGEOT dealer are used.

 Put the wheel in place on the hub.

 Screw in the bolts by hand to the
stop.

 Pre-tighten the anti-theft bolt us-
ing the wheelbrace 1 fi tted with the
anti-theft socket 5 (if your vehicle is
equipped with one).

 Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1 only.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN,
ETC.
Driving advice The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
 If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of origi-
nal PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the
fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
