Operation
F Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key
in the driver's door lock.
Triggering of the alarm
What happens
When the alarm is triggered the siren
sounds and the direction indicators flash for
thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote control, rapid flashing
of the indicator lamp in the button
informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.
Advice
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
F Unlock the vehicle using the key in the
driver's door lock.
F Open the door; the alarm is triggered.
F Switch on the ignition; the alarm stops. The
indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a malfunction of the system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.
Active City Brake
Principle
A preventive driving assistance system that, using
a sensor located at the top of the windscreen,
automatically applies the vehicle's brakes if behind
a vehicle in the same lane that is slowing down
rapidly, stopping or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce the
speed of impact.
The Active City Brake system can in no circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Operation
Required conditions:
- Vehicles driving in the same lane.
- Not in too pronounced a bend.
- Speed of the vehicle between 3 and
18 mph (5 and 30 km).
- Braking assistance systems (ABS, EBFD,
EBA) in working order.
- Trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC) in
working order and not deactivated.
- Operation of Active City Brake not
triggered in the previous 10 seconds.
During detection:
-
Display of a message.
- Illumination of the brake lamps.
The automatic braking occurs later than when
normal by the driver and only takes place if
the driver fails to apply the brakes at all or
sufficiently firmly, or to take avoiding action.

Road holding
Definition
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance,
- wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
Definition
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery 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.
Emergency braking assistance
Definition
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure 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 effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Definition
This system (also known as Traction 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)
Definition
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system 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.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
Operation
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. 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.
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.

Changing reversing lamp and
direction indicator bulbs
These two bulbs are changed from inside the
boot:
F open the boot,
F remove the access grille from the
corresponding side trim panel,
F slacken and remove the nut,
F disconnect the lamp unit connector,
F unclip the lamp unit carefully extract it
pulling in line towards the outside, F
press the four tabs and remove the bulb
h o l d e r,
F turn the bulb a quarter of a turn and
change it.
To reassemble, carry out these operations in
reverse order.
Take care to engage the lamp unit in its guides,
while keeping it in line with the vehicle.
Tighten sufficiently to ensure sealing, but
without damaging the lamp.

Radio
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more power ful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Press and hold the "List" button at the steering
mounted controls to update the list of stations
received or press on the system update function:
"Update list".
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.
