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.

STOP fi x e d , a s s o c i a t e d
with another warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on the screen. It is associated with a
punctured wheel, the braking
system, the power steering,
the engine oil pressure or the
engine coolant temperature.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Service temporarily.
A minor fault has occurred
f o r w h i c h t h e r e i s n o s p e c i fi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen, such as, for
example:
- the closing of the doors, boot or
bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the tyre pressures,
- saturation of the particle emission fi l t e r ( D i e s e l ) .
For any other faults, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

shown on the screen and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Electric
parking brake fl a s h i n g .
The electric parking brake is
not applied automatically. You must stop immediately where it is

passenger has not fastened
or has unfastened their seat
belt.
Pull the strap then insert the tongue in
the buckle.
Airbags temporarily.
This lamp comes on for a
few seconds when you turn
on the ignition, then switches
off. This lamp should switch off when the
engine is started.
If it does not switch off, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

pretensioner systems has a
fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

on Diesel engines.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
Directional

system is faulty. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
D e fl a t e d
wheel fi x e d . The pressure in one or more
wheels is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon
as possible.
This check should preferably be carried
out when the tyres are cold.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install
a wheel which is not detected by
y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g o f s n o w
tyres), you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer
t o 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 vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of the
spare wheel.

This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction 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.
Flat tyre The
STOP warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating the wheel
concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-

have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
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).
This message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distri-
bution system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) 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 re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
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.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure 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 resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
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 sur-
faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution
system manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a
b u z z e r a n d a m e s s a g e , i t i n d i -
cates that there is a malfunc-
tion of the ABS, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes
on, connected to the STOP
warning lamp, accompanied
b y a b u z z e r a n d a m e s s a g e ,
it indicates that there is a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribu-
tion (EBFD), which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
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 i n g
the pressure.
