  ACCESS 
 
 
Retractable roof 
 
The operation of the roof is the ex-
clusive responsibility of the driver. 
  To avoid any risk of injury when 
operating the roof, ensure that no 
one is standing near the moving 
parts. 
  You are strongly advised not to 
operate the roof in strong winds.   When washing your vehicle: 
   
 
-   lock the vehicle using the re-
mote control or the key, 
   
-   avoid spraying the upper part 
of the windows, 
   
-   keep the end of the high pres-
sure nozzle at least 1 metre 
from the windows and door 
seals.  
  When the vehicle has been washed 
or after rain, wait until the roof has 
dried before opening it.   It is preferable to operate the roof 
with the engine running and the 
vehicle stationary. Wait until the 
end of operation message ap-
pears in the multifunction screen 
before moving off. 
  The operation can only be carried 
out when moving if the speed is be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h), and you are 
driving smoothly on level ground.     
Preliminary conditions 
   
 
 ) 
  Start the engine 
   
 ) 
  You must ensure that: 
   
 
-   the electric windows are initialised 
(see corresponding section), 
   
-   the ambient temperature is higher 
than -15 °C.  
     
Precautions to be taken before 
operating the roof  
   
 
 ) 
  Park the vehicle on level ground. 
   
 ) 
  Check that no objects could hinder 
the operation of the roof: 
   
 
-   nothing should be placed on the 
moving rear shelf  1 
, on the boot 
screen  2 
 or on the side trims  3 
, 
   
-   if luggage is transported in the 
boot, it must not lift the boot 
screen, 
   
-   any objects, such as a jacket or 
umbrella, placed in the boot, must 
be secured using the luggage re-
taining net  4 
.  
   
 ) 
  Check that the boot screen  2 
 is secured 
fi rmly. 
   
 ) 
  Close the boot correctly.  
  After the roof has been operated 
fully four times in succession, the 
system switches to protection 
mode temporarily to avoid dam-
age to the roof motors. Let the 
system rest for approximately ten 
minutes; if you are unable to oper-
ate the roof after this time, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE 
SYSTEMS 
  Group of supplementary systems 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).  
 
 
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, 
press very fi rmly without releasing 
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 in 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, 
together with the  STOP 
 and  ABS 
 
warning lamps, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the multifunction screen, it indicates a 
malfunction of the electronic brake force 
distribution which could result in loss of 
control of the vehicle when braking. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 
  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 
in braking effi ciency. 
  When braking in an emergency, 
press fi rmly without releasing the 
pressure.  
 
   
You must stop as soon as it is safe 
to do so. 
 
  In either case, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY
  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 on: 
   
 
-   wheels (tyres and rims), 
   
-  braking components, 
   
-  electronic components, 
   
-   repair and assembly procedures.  
  After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
     
 
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 
in the middle of the dashboard.  
 
 
If this warning lamp comes on in 
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come on, 
this indicates that the ASR and 
ESP systems are deactivated. 
  On vehicles fi  tted with the 1.6 litre THP  200  hp 
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.  
 
 
Reactivation 
  These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched 
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except 
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp 
petrol engine). 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button again 
to reactivate them manually.     
Operating fault 
   
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TRAJECTORY CONTROL 
SYSTEMS 
   
Activation 
  These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
   
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and 
electronic stability programme 
(ESP) 
  They come into operation in the event 
of a grip or trajectory problem. 
  This is indicated by fl ashing  of 
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.  
     
The anti-slip regulation (also known as 
Traction Control) optimises traction to 
prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting 
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.    On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates the automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps.
