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 
observe the schedule of operations 
recommended 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 
consistent average.

Puncture 
 
The STOP warning lamp comes on. 
  Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, 
avoiding any sudden movement of the 
steering wheel and the brakes. 
  Make a temporary repair to the tyre 
using the puncture repair kit or by 
fi tting the spare wheel. 
  Change the damaged wheel, and have 
the tyre pressures checked as soon as 
possible. 
   
Sensor(s) fault or not detected 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  When changing a wheel or in the 
event of a sensor fault, the tyre 
pressure is no longer monitored. 
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s). 
  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 fi t a 
wheel not detected by your vehicle 
(for example: fi tting snow tyres), you 
must have the system reinitialised 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.

catalytic converters.  
  The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specifi c warning 
lamp in the instrument panel. 
  There is a risk of damage to the 
catalytic converter. Have it checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
  EMISSIONS CONTROLS   
Deflated tyre 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  Following a warning, the under-infl ation 
of the tyre will not necessarily be 
visible. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.  
  Refer to the "Changing a wheel" 
section of chapter 7. 
  If the damaged wheel is replaced by 
one without a sensor (for example, 
the spare wheel), the message 
is maintained to indicate that the 
pressure of the wheel cannot be 
monitored, so providing a reminder that 
the damaged wheel with sensor must 
be repaired.     Sensors continuously monitor the tyre 
pressures and trigger a warning in the 
event of under-infl ation, a puncture or 
a fault with a sensor.    
EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics 
system which complies with, 
among others, the standards 
concerning authorised 
emissions of: 
  Any anomaly is indicated 
by visual and audible 
information and is 
accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
   
Good practice 
 
This system does not avoid the need to 
have the tyre pressures checked regularly 
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that 
the dynamic performance of the vehicle 
remains at its best and to avoid premature 
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case 
of heavy loads and high speeds. 
  Observing the recommended tyre 
pressures helps reduce the vehicle's fuel 
consumption. 
  The system may temporarily be disturbed 
by electro-magnetic emissions on a 
frequency close to that used by it.

Driving safely  
 
(ABS - EBFD) 
 
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake 
force distribution) systems improve the 
stability and manoeuvrability of your 
vehicle on braking, in particular on 
poor or slippery surfaces. 
  The ABS prevents locking of the 
wheels, the EBFD provides control of 
the braking pressure wheel by wheel.   If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a 
malfunction of the ABS which 
could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking. 
  If this warning lamp comes 
on, together with the brake 
and STOP warning lamps, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution 
which could result in a loss of control of 
the vehicle on braking. 
  EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM 
(EBA)
  In an emergency, this system enables 
the optimum braking pressure to be 
reached more quickly, press the pedal 
fi rmly without releasing it. 
  It is triggered by the speed at which the 
brake pedal is activated. 
  This alters the resistance of the brake 
pedal under your foot. 
  To prolong the operation of the 
emergency braking assistance system: 
keep your foot on the brake pedal. 
   
Good practice 
 
The anti-lock braking system comes 
into operation automatically when 
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not 
reduce the braking distance. 
  On very slippery surfaces (ice, 
oil, etc...) the ABS may increase the 
braking distance. When braking in 
an emergency, do not hesitate to 
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without 
releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able 
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle 
to avoid an obstacle. 
  Normal operation of the ABS may be 
felt by slight vibration of the brake 
pedal. 
  When changing wheels (tyres 
and rims), ensure that these are 
recommended by PEUGEOT.    
Stop 
  as soon as it is safe to do so 
 
. 
 
  In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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

  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

Towing a trailer  
 
 
 
Good Practice 
 
In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a 
steep slope in high temperatures), the 
engine automatically limits its power. 
In this case, the air conditioning is 
automatically cut off to save engine 
power. 
   
 
Tyres: 
check the tyre pressures of 
the towing vehicle (see the 
"Identifi cation markings" section of 
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing 
the recommended pressures. 
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.    If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop 
the vehicle and switch off the 
engine as soon as possible.
   
Brakes 
 
  Towing increases the braking distance. 
Drive at a moderate speed, change 
down early and brake gradually. 
   
Towbar 
 
We recommend the use of genuine 
PEUGEOT towbars and their 
harnesses, which have been tested 
and approved from the design stage of 
your vehicle, and that you entrust the 
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT 
dealer. 
  If this equipment is not fi tted by a 
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that 
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the 
vehicle and in accordance with the 
manufacturer's instructions. 
  In accordance with the general 
instructions a reminder of which has 
been given above, we draw your 
attention to the risk associated with 
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory 
not recommended by PEUGEOT. 
Fitting such equipment could result in 
the failure of your vehicle's electronic 
system. Please obtain information from 
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type 
of equipment.
