2011 Peugeot RCZ brakes

5/
SAFETY
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow tyres), you must have
the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation markings" section)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic performance of the vehicle is
maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in
arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month.
Remember to also check the pressure of the spare wheel if your
vehicle has one.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience
temporary interference due to electro-magnetic signals on a
frequency close to that used by the system.


Puncture

The STOP
warning lamp comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement
of the steering wheel and the brakes.

)
Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.



Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an alert message to identify the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, this does not have a sensor.

SAFETY

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

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.


Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
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
instrument panel.








SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE (INTELLIGENT
TRACTION CONTROL)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.

This automatic system continuously checks for situations of diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control
limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful
to temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.

MOVING OFF



)
Apply the parking brake.

)
Select position P
or N
.

)
Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there is an audible signal, accompanied
by a message in the screen.


)
With the engine running, press the brake pedal.

)
Release the parking brake.

)
Select position R
, D
or M
,

)
Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N
is engaged inadvertently while driving, allow the
engine to return to idle then engage position D
to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released,
if position R
, D
or M
is selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle
without supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and select position P
.
A message appears if you try to move the gear lever from
position P
to another position without pressing the brake pedal.

MANUAL PARKING BRAKE

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for the
details of the level checking interval for this component.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the
parking brake must be checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.






















Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is strictly prohibited
