EMISSIONS CONTROLS
 
The driver is warned of any malfunction 
of this emission control system by the 
illumination of this specific 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 qualified workshop.   EOBD (European On Board 
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system 
which complies with, among 
others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   
 
-   CO (carbon monoxide), 
   
-   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
   
-   NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, 
detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic converters.  
DETECTION 
 
Sensors continuously monitor the tyre 
pressures and trigger a warning in the event 
of under-inflation, a puncture or a fault with 
a sensor. 
  Any anomaly is indicated by visual and 
audible information and is accompanied by a 
message in the screen. 
   
Deflated tyre 
 
The Service warning lamp comes on. 
  Following a warning, the under-inflation of 
the tyre will not necessarily be visible. 
  Check the tyre pressure as soon as 
possible.  
 
 
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 qualified workshop to replace the faulty 
sensor(s).   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.

Gearboxes and steering wheel  
 
 
 
Manual mode 
 
Manual sequential gear changing. 
   
 
-   Select gear lever position  M 
, 
   
-   push the gear lever towards the + sign 
to change up, from 1 through to 6, 
   
-   conversely, push the gear lever towards 
the - sign to change down.  
  You can change from position  D  
(automatic mode) to position  M  
(manual mode) at any time. 
  In manual mode, it is only possible to 
change from one gear to another if the 
vehicle speed and engine speed permit. 
If they do not, the vehicle will operate 
temporarily in automatic mode. 
  When the vehicle is stationary or moving 
very slowly, the gearbox automatically 
selects first gear.  
 
 
Good practice 
 
Never select position  N 
 when the vehicle is 
moving. 
  Never select positions  P 
 or  R 
 unless the 
vehicle is stationary. 
  Never change between positions to optimise 
braking on a slippery surface. 
  There is a risk of damage to the gearbox: 
   
 
-   if you press the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time, 
   
-   if you force the gear lever from position 
  P 
 to another position in the event of a 
battery failure.  
  When the engine is at idle, brakes not 
applied, if position  R 
,  D 
 or  M 
 is selected the 
vehicle moves even without the accelerator 
being pressed. 
  For this reason,  do not leave children 
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the 
engine running 
.  
 
 
Operating fault 
 
Any operating fault is indicated by an 
audible signal, accompanied by the 
message  "Automatic gear fault" 
 in the 
screen. 
  In this situation the gearbox operates in 
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You 
may feel a substantial knock when changing 
from  P 
 to  R 
 and from  N 
 to  R 
 (this will not 
cause any damage to the gearbox). 
  Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping 
within the limit of local speed restrictions. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (DSC)
  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.   If there is a variation between the trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required by 
the driver, the DSC 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/DSC 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 DSC systems to 
make the wheels spin and regain grip. 
   
 
-   Press the button, located on the centre 
console. 
   
-   The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR 
and DSC systems no longer operate.     
Operating check 
 
 
Good practice
 
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but should not 
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive 
at high speed. 
  The operation of these systems is assured 
only if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and fitting and repair 
procedures are observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
Operation of the ASR and DSC systems
 
The LED flashes when 
the ASR or DSC is 
triggered.  
   
They engage again: 
   
 
-   automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), 
   
-   manually by pressing the button again.  
   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 qualified 
workshop to have the system checked. 
  The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure 
of each tyre.  
 
  Use the DSC to hold your course without 
attempting to countersteer.

IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY 
 
In situations of extreme transverse 
acceleration, this module limits the risks 
of the vehicle rolling over by acting on the 
brakes.  
 
 
Roll Over Mitigation *  
 
This system, linked with the ESP, 
supplements  the ABS-EBFD, ASR-ESP  and 
EBA braking functions, already covered in 
this document, to guarantee a high level of 
active safety. Indeed, the ROM system was 
intended originally for top-of-the-range 4x4 
type vehicles and today it is fitted on your 
vehicle. 
   
*   Roll-over prevention system.

Towing a trailer 
  You should therefore use a high gear to 
lower the engine speed and reduce your 
speed. 
  In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.     
Ty r e s  
  Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle (see the "Identification markings" 
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer, 
observing the recommended pressures. 
   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 fitting of this equipment to a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted 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 fitting 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 fitting this type of equipment.     If the coolant temperature warning 
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle 
and switch off the engine as soon 
as possible. 
   
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. 
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.    
Brakes  
  Towing increases the braking distance. Drive 
at a moderate speed, change down early 
and brake gradually. 
   
Side wind  
  Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive 
smoothly and at a moderate speed. 
   
ABS/DSC  
  The ABS or DSC systems only control the 
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan. 
   
Rear parking sensors  
  The parking sensors system does not 
function while the vehicle is towing.

Checks 
Manual gearbox
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer 
to the pages of the servicing and warranty 
booklet which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
  After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.

 Bleeding the water contained in theDiesel filter 
 
If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the end of the transparent 
pipe. 
  Operate until all of the water in the 
transparent pipe has been drained out then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified 
workshop for all work on the system.     During this regeneration, you may notice 
that the idling speed is higher than normal 
and that the cooling fan is running. As 
operation of the exhaust emissions controls 
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 
reach very high levels, it is recommended 
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).
