FAMILIARISATION
EXTERIOR

Retractable roof
This system enables you to change from
a "coupé" confi guration to a "cabriolet"
confi guration and vice versa with a sin-
gle action.



6


Directional lighting
This additional lighting automatically
provides extended visibility when
turning.



83

Visual and audible rear parking
sensors
This system provides a warning when
reversing by detecting obstacles located
behind the vehicle.



114


Tyre under-infl ation detection
This system monitors the pressure in
each tyre and warns you of a punc-
ture or drop in pressure.



95

Windstop
In the "cabriolet" confi guration,
this system reduces wind tur-
bulence in the front seats.



61


Temporary tyre repair kit
This kit is a complete system, con-
sisting of a compressor and an inte-
gral sealant, for the temporary repair
of a tyre.

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver’s side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don’t forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the
fuel consumption settle down to a con-
sistent average.

engines.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.

fl ashing. The directional headlamps
system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


Punctured
wheel


fi xed. One or more wheels are
punctured or seriously
defl ated. Stop immediately avoiding any sharp action on
the steering wheel or the brakes.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
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 in-
stall 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 eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the "Technical information - Identi-
fi cation markings" page) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing 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.
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.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction. The
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).

Flat tyre
A message appears in the multifunction
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. This warning lamp and the STOP

warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in 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-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi 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.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS *

Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:


- 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
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion of the anti-lock braking system
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, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.










Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, ena-
bles you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.

*
According to country.
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
125

If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indi-
cates that the tyre is not repairable;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the kit
to hand.

)
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)), to plug
the puncture.

)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.

)
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop as soon
as possible.
You must inform the techni-
cian that you have used this
kit. After inspection, the tech-
nician will inform you whether
the tyre can be repaired or
must be replaced.


2. Infl ation


)
Turn the selector A
to the
"air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to
the valve of the wheel.
)
Connect the compressor’s electric
plug to the vehicle’s 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.
)

Adjust the pressure using the compres-
sor (to infl ate: switch B
in position "I"
;
to defl ate: switch B
in position "O"
and
press button C
), in accordance with the
vehicle’s tyre pressure label (located on
the left hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qual-
ifi ed workshop for assistance.

)
Remove and stow the kit.

)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance
travelled to approximately 120 miles
(200 km).
