pre-heater warning lamp has
gone of f.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a reminder message appears in
the instrument panel screen. In some
circumstances, it is necessary to
turn the steering wheel slightly while
pressing the "
START/STOP " button
to assist unlocking of the steering;
a message warns you when this is
needed.
th

in the defined zone is essential. For
reasons of safety, do not leave this area
when the engine is running.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
the keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
th
is electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a P
e

uge

dealer as soon as possible.

the tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
Under-inflation detection
System which continuously and automatically checks the pressures of the four tyres after switching on the ignition.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each tyre (except the spare wheel).
th
e system triggers an alert if a drop in pressure is detected in one or more tyres, compared to the reference pressure registered in the system. t
h
is
reference pressure must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
th

e system operates on condition that sensor identifiers have first been memorised in the system by a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can memorise two sets of tyres (for example: wheels with "standard" tyres and wheels with "winter" tyres).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
th
is system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
th

e tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings"
section).
th

e tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
th

e loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
th

e alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the inflation, repair or replacement of
the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
th

e spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the the system for running
with the spare wheel fitted.
F
I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at

n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
th

e under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
th

e system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

select "REINITIALISE" (located in
menu 2/3 or 3/3 depending on the
instrument panel) .
F

P
ress and hold the INFO button for at least
3 seconds to reinitialise the under-inflation
detection system.
Reinitialisation of the system is confirmed
by the flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
th

e under-inflation alert is only reliable
if the system has been reinitialised
with the four tyre pressures correctly
adjusted.
Operating fault
the flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by
the display of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
th

is alert is also displayed if:

frequency is close to the vehicle,

Four wheel drive system
System which permits the selection of a transmission mode in relation to the driving conditions.three transmission modes are available and can be selected manually by the driver in accordance with his requirements.
You can change transmission mode when
stationary or while driving.
th

e transmission mode can be selected by
turning the control A .
Selecting the transmission
mode
4WD AUTO (position 1)
the vehicle operates with four wheel drive and
provides optimum traction for all levels of grip.
th

is is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the torque
between the front and rear axles is controlled
automatically.
th

e distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels is
managed electronically by the control unit
in relation to the level of grip, so providing
optimum road holding.
4WD LOCK (position 2)
the vehicle operates with four wheel drive in
this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difficult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
2WD (position 3)
the vehicle operates with front two wheel drive.th is is suitable for use on a tarmac roads or
where the driver considers that there is no risk
of loss of grip (dry road).
Display in the instrument panel
the transmission mode is displayed in the
form of an intermittent display in the instrument
panel screen when the transmission mode is
selected.
th
e selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of grip
permits.
Driving

As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
performance of the vehicle.
en
sure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or
muddy areas or in other areas in which
the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through deep
water.
Avoid driving over excessively uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the display to clear before
setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternately
and if "S
eR

VIC
e

eQuI

" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
th

e vehicle must not be towed with the
front or rear wheels on the ground even
if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)
mode.If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
th

is is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Cruise control
System which automatically maintains the vehicle speed at the value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator pedal.
th
e cruise control is switched on manually:
the vehicle speed must be at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) and second gear or higher must be
engaged in the case of a manual gearbox.
th

e cruise control is switched off manually, by
an action on the brake or clutch pedal or if the
ASC system is triggered.
th

e programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
th

e cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
need to comply with speed limits or of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
th

e controls of this system are grouped
together on the steering wheel.
