VISIBILITY

C. Foglamp selection ring.
The foglamp operates with the dipped and main beam headlamps. Rear foglamp.
 Turn the ring C forwards and release to switch on the rear foglamp.
When the lighting is switched off automatically (with AUTO model)
or when the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamp and the sidelamps will remain on.
 Turn the ring C rearwards and release to switch off all the lamps. In good or rainy weather, both day and night, use of the rear
foglamp is prohibited. In these situations, the power of its beam
may dazzle other drivers. It should only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch
on the foglamp and dipped beam headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the rear foglamp when it is no longer
needed.
Switching off the lamps when the ignition is switched off

except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.

SAFETY

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down,
stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
 Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine
and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
This action also deactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6 litre THP 270 hp version).
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is
switched back on.
You can also reactivate them manually:
 Press this button again.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6 litre THP 270 hp version).
Operating fault DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased safety in normal
driving, but they should not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
It is in diffi cult driving conditions (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of
loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to
keep the DSC and ASR systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in diffi cult conditions.
The correct operation of these systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the
wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the
assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefi t in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR
systems in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fi tted with four
snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on
the road. Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the
deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, indicate a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.
MAINTENANCE
To maintain the spoiler, with the vehicle stationary, ignition on:
 raise the spoiler to the maximum position B by pressing the
button briefl y,
 once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.
OPERATING FAULT
If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen. As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:
 stop where it is safe to do so,
 switch off the ignition,
 switch the ignition on again.
If the indicator lamp no longer fl ashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation. To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If the indicator lamp fl ashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler)\
, the
indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing. Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To exit from manual mode:
 press the button briefl y: the indicator lamp on the button goes off
(return to automatic mode).
At speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h), the spoiler stays in the open
position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.
