TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n m a r k i n g s " p a r a -
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehi-
cle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature wear of the tyres, particu-
larly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
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 electro-magnet-
ic emissions on a frequency close
to that used by the system.

warning in the event of malfunction.
The speed has to be above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, 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.
This warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen locating the
wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden ediate
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 Change the damaged wheel (punc-
have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audi-
ble 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).

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 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 recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, 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 lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen, 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
i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
* According to country.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B to position "1" until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.

pressures
You can also use this kit for rou-
tine checking and adjustment of
the tyre pressures on your vehicle.
For this, carry out just the following
6 points.

cated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed
for single use; even if only partly
used, it must be replaced.
To remove the cartridge, unscrew it
completely at its cap and pull off.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take
it to an authorised waste disposal
site or a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new
sealant cartridge, available from
PEUGEOT dealers.
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.
Adjust the pressure using the com-

A loss of pressure indicates that the puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for as-
sistance.
Remove and stow the kit.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible to have the
tyre repaired or replaced by a
technician.

TOWING A TRAILER, A
CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close

w e i g h t a p p r o a c h e s t h e m a x i m u m

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d
must be reduced by 10 % 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.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Lighting
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
o f y o u r v e h i c l e , a n d t h a t t h e fi t -
