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 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 en-
sure that the optimum dynamic perfor-
mance 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
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electromagnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor.
This warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre The STOP
warning lamp
comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunc-
tion screen 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.
)
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 detec-
tion 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 multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to identify 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 dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (being
repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) optimises traction in order
to avoid wheel slip by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
each wheel and automatically acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to return the vehicle to
the required path, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure more quickly and therefore reduce
the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at
which the brake pedal is pressed. This
is felt by a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and provides improved control
in corners, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution
system manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.
Operation
When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS, which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp
comes on, coupled with the
STOP
warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

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 trajec-
tory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep
snow, mud…), it can be useful to tempo-
rarily deactivate the dynamic stability
control and wheel anti-slip
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.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESC:
Electronic Stability Control) incorporat-
ing the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or
traction control,
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).

The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:
- Automatic application/release
Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),
- Manual application/release
The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...). Refer to the
"Manual release" paragraph.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation of
this function is possible by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

Application of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:
-
illumination of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in the control lever A
,
- display of the message
"Handbrake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is heard and
a message is displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied, unless the
selector lever is in position P
(Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press

"Handbrake off".
If you pull the control lever A
without pressing the brake ped-
al, the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maxi-
mum application
of the parking brake.
It is obtained by means of a long pull
on the control lever A
, until you see the
message "Handbrake on" and a beep
is heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, make a maximum applica-
tion of the parking brake then turn the
front wheels towards the pavement
and engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a
caravan or a trailer, if the automatic
functions are activated but you are
applying the parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked
on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing).

Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. start-
ing the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the
brake pedal and release the park-
ing brake by pulling
then releasing
control lever A
. The full release of
the parking brake is confi rmed by the
warning lamp in the control lever A
and the warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel going off and the display
of the message "Handbrake off".
If a parking brake fault occurs while
applied
or if the battery runs fl at, an
emergency release is always pos-
sible.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull
on the control
lever
A
will stop the vehicle
.
The dynamic stability control (DSC)
provides stability during emergency
braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency
braking, one of the following messages
will be displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
If a failure of the DSC system
is signalled by the illumina-
tion of this warning lamp, then
braking stability is not guaran-
teed.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control lever A
.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
