Driving safely  
 
 
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY 
PROGRAMME (ESP)
 
These systems are linked and 
complement the ABS. 
  The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and 
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on acceleration. 
  The system optimises drive to prevent 
the wheels skidding, by acting on the 
brakes of the drive wheels and on the 
engine. It also allows the directional 
stability of the vehicle to be improved 
on acceleration. 
  Use the ESP to hold your course 
without attempting to countersteer. 
  If there is a variation between the 
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the ESP 
system automatically acts on the 
engine and the brake of one or more 
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back 
on course. 
   
Deactivating the ASR/ESP 
systems 
  In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud 
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could 
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and 
ESP systems to make the wheels spin 
and regain grip.    
Operating check 
 
 
Good practice 
 
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but 
should not incite the driver to take risks 
or to drive at high speed. 
  The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
components and the fi tting and repair 
procedures within the PEUGEOT 
network are observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
Operation of the ASR
and ESP systems 
  The LED fl ashes when the 
ASR or ESP is triggered.  
   
They engage again: 
   
 
-  
automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning 
lamp comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a 
message in the screen. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to have the system 
checked. 
  The warning lamp may also come on if 
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the 
pressure of each tyre.  
 
   
 
-   Press the button or turn 
the dial to the ESP OFF 
position (depending on 
model). 
   
-   The warning lamp comes on: the 
ASR and ESP systems no longer 
come into play.  
   
-   manually by pressing the 
button again or by turning 
the dial to this position 
(depending on model).  
  

   
 
Airbags  
 
94
 
 
Front airbags 
 
The front airbags are fi tted in the 
centre of the steering wheel for the 
driver and in the dashboard for the 
front passenger(s). 
   
Deployment 
  They are deployed simultaneously, 
unless the passenger's front airbag 
has been deactivated, in the event of 
a serious front impact applied to all or 
part of the front impact zone  A 
 in the 
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle 
on a horizontal plane directed from the 
front towards the rear of the vehicle. 
  The front airbag infl ates between the 
front occupant of the vehicle and the 
dashboard to cushion their forward 
movement.     
Deactivation 
  Only the passenger's front airbag can 
be deactivated: 
   
 
-   With the ignition switched off 
, 
insert the key into the passenger's 
airbag deactivation switch 
   
-   turn it to the  "OFF" 
 position, 
   
-   then remove the key keeping the 
switch in the new position.  
  The airbag warning lamp in the 
instrument panel remains on 
while the airbag is deactivated.   If the two airbag warning lamps 
are on continuously, do not install 
a rear-facing child seat. Contact 
a PEUGEOT or a qualifi ed 
workshop.  
     
Front airbag fault 
  To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to deactivate the 
passenger airbag when you install 
a rear-facing child seat on the front 
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child 
would risk being killed or seriously 
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.     
Reactivation 
 
In the  "OFF" 
 position, the passenger airbag 
will not be deployed in the event of an impact. 
  As soon as the child seat is removed, turn 
the airbag switch to the  "ON" 
 position to 
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the 
safety of your passenger in the event of an 
impact.  
 
If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, consult a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to have 
the system checked.  

   
 
Levels  
 
108
 
 
Cooling system 
 
Only use the fl uid recommended by the 
manufacturer. 
  Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging 
your engine. 
  When the engine is warm, the 
temperature 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. 
  Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to 
release the pressure to prevent any 
risk of scalding. When the pressure 
has dropped, remove the cap and top 
up the level with coolant. 
  If fl uid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as 
soon as possible. 
   
Power steering fluid level 
 
The vehicle must be parked on level 
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew 
the cap integrated with the gauge and 
check the level which must be between 
the MIN and MAX marks.    In order to regenerate the fi lter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffi c conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off). 
  During regeneration of the particle 
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay 
operating may be heard under the 
dashboard. 
  If the message is still displayed and 
if the service warning lamp remains 
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop. 
   
Topping up 
  The level must be between the MIN 
and MAX marks on the expansion 
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is 
required to top up the level, have 
the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
 
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash level 
  For best quality cleaning and for your 
safety, we would advise that you use 
products of the PEUGEOT range. 
  For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water. 
  Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres. 
  If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.  
 
 
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
emission filter) 
   
Topping up 
  This additive must be topped up by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop without delay.  
 
 
 
Waste products 
 
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil 
with the skin. 
  Brake fl uid is harmful to health and 
very corrosive. 
  Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground 
but into the containers dedicated to this 
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.     The minimum level of this additive 
is indicated by lighting of the service 
warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen. 
  When this occurs with the engine 
running it is due to the start of 
saturation of the particle emission fi lter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffi c jams, ...).
