HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Automatic lighting of hazard warning lights *
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the hazard
warning lights come on automatically.
T h e y s w i t c h o f f a u t o m a t i c a l l y t h e fi r s t
time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.
* According to country.
Press one of the spokes of the steering
wheel.
Press the button, the direction indica-
t o r s fl a s h .
They can operate with the ignition off.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC
BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the elec-
tronic brake force distribution, increas-
es the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle on braking, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
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 vehi-
cle 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.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency, press
fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e p r e s s u r e .
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.

The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP system
automatically acts on the engine and
the brake of one or more wheels, in or-
der to put the vehicle back on course,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems T h e w a r n i n g l i g h t fl a s h e s
when the ASR or ESP is ac-
tivated. Disarming
Reactivation:
Automatic if the ignition is switched
off.
Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Manual by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
l i g h t fl a s h e s a n d t h e w a r n -
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components and the electronic
components, as well as the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the ignition is on, the
ASR and ESP systems are
always activated. Operating check
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be ad-
visable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated under the steering wheel to
the right.

time,
- force the lever from position P to
another position when the battery

Press switch 1 again. The
indicator light will go out
and the AUTO indicator

and the indicator lights. The switch li-
ght comes on for approximately three
seconds every time the ignition is swit-
ched on.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunc-
tion display.
In this situation the gearbox opera-
tes in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any da-
mage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or
keep within local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and the
vehicle's road holding capabilities.
The suspension favours a smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfor-
table ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving, ti-
ght bends, avoidance action, etc.), it

sorption, guaranteeing optimum road
holding.
When the ignition is switched on, the
electronic suspension is always active
in automatic operation mode.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Lifting (2 wheels only on the road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
N e v e r u s e t h e r a d i a t o r c r o s s m e m b e r .
When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.

Towing a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox in reverse gear is prohibited
(absence of lubrication).
W i t h o u t l i f t i n g (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The towing eye is inside the spare
wheel.
When being towed with all
four wheels on the ground, it
is imperative that the following
rules are obeyed:
- selector lever in position N ,
- the vehicle must be towed at a speed of less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over
a maximum distance of 30 miles
(50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
From the front:
Carefully unclip the bottom of the
cover, using a small screwdriver.
Screw in the towing eye until it
locks.
From the rear:
Carefully unclip the top of the cover
using a small screwdriver.
Screw in the towing eye until it
locks. To disconnect the battery:
pull the handle downwards and
fold back the panel to gain access
to the battery,
disconnect the green terminal (-) of
the battery.
It is advisable to disconnect
the battery if the vehicle is not
to be used for a period of more
than one month.
