INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the switching on of one of the following warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the switching on of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message on
the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

manufacturer's recommendations.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.
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. Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
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

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 .
Group of supplementary sys-
tems which help you to obtain
optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction 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, togeth-
er with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g o f
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" button, located
on the left below the steering wheel.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on.
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, this in-
dicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

When parking on a slope, direct
your wheels against the pavement,
apply the parking brake and en-
gage a gear.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever fully up
to immobilise your vehicle. When the vehicle is being driv-
en, if this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, this indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been properly
released.
Releasing
Pull the parking brake lever gently,
press the release button then lower
the lever fully.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of fourth gear.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP system
for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk
A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Speed programming/value decrease
button
3. Speed programming/value increase
button
4. Cruise control off/resume button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel display.
5. Cruise control off/resume indication
6. Cruise control mode selection indication
7. Programmed speed value
Steering mounted controls Displays on the instrumen
t panel
The cruise control cannot, in any circum-
stances, replace the need to respect speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. T h i s fl u i d m u s t a l w a y s b e a t t h e

Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.

According to the information given in
the Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil used must meet the
manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level
Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers intended
for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network (France) or take it to an au-
thorised waste disposal site.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake

When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.

Also, as the cooling system operates
under pressure, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before do-
ing anything. For best quality cleaning and to

not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
