GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR*
* According to engine.
Operation
the system intervenes only when driving 
economically .
t
he gear change recommendations must 
not be considered compulsory, as the 
configuration of the road, the volume of 
traffic and safety remain determining factors 
when choosing the best gear. 
t
herefore, 
the driver remains responsible for deciding 
whether or not to follow the advice given by 
the system.
t
his system cannot be deactivated.
e
 xample:
System which reduces fuel consumption by 
recommending the most suitable gear.
Display in the level 2 instrument panelIn the case of driving which 
makes particular demands on the 
performance of the engine (firm pressure 
on the accelerator pedal, for example, 
when overtaking...), the system will not 
recommend a gear change.
t
he system will never suggest:
-
 
engaging first gear
 ,
-
 
engaging reverse.
-
 
Y
 ou are in third gear.
-  
Y
 ou press the accelerator pedal 
moderately.
-   t he system may suggest that you engage 
a higher gear, if appropriate. On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox, 
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear 
recommended.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is 
only active in manual mode.
t
 he information appears in the form of the 
word  SHIFT in the instrument panel screen, 
accompanied by an up arrow to changing 
up.

PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise 
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied 
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
 If the parking brake is still on or has not been 
released properly, this is indicated by this warning 
lamp which comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards 
the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up.
t
here is no advantage in engaging a gear after 
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is 
loaded.
Pull on the parking brake lever, only with 
the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the parking 
brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the 
brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the 
rear wheels (risk of skidding).
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower 
the parking brake lever. Press this button, the two direction 
indicators flash.
t
hey operate with the ignition off. 
When the hazard warning lamps are 
switched on, the change of direction 
function, using the right-hand or left-hand 
direction indicator, is deactivated.

Emergency braking assistance*
System which, in an emergency, enables 
you to reach the optimum braking pressure 
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping 
distance. 
t
he emergency braking assistance 
is an integral part of the DSC system
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
he effect of this is a reduction in the 
resistance of the pedal and an increase in 
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly 
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
t
his system cannot be deactivated by the 
driver.
* Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY  CONTROL  SYSTEMS
Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
the dynamic stability control system acts on 
the brake of one or more wheels and on the  
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory 
required by the driver, within the limits of the 
laws of physics.
Activation
t
his system is activated automatically each 
time the vehicle is started and cannot be 
deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by a message in the 
instrument panel screen, indicates 
a fault with the system, which is 
deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a P
euge O t
 dealer or a
  
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine 
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction 
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel 
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving 
wheels and the engine.
e
ngine control is an integral part of the ASR 
system and intervenes when a sudden gear 
change is made or of one of the driving 
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine 
torque to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
t
hese systems are activated automatically 
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or 
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, 
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to 
deactivate the ASR system, so that the 
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
t
his is indicated by flashing of this 
warning lamp in the instrument 
panel.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the 
pressure of the tyres while driving.
t
he system monitors the pressures on the 
four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the 
four wheel speed sensors with reference 
values, which must be reinitialised every 
time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a 
wheel changed.
t
he system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of 
one or more tyres.
t
 he under-inflation detection system 
does not replace the vigilance or the 
responsibility of the driver.
t
his system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as before 
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
road holding, extends braking distances and 
causes premature tyre wear, particularly 
under arduous condition (high loading, high 
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases 
fuel consumption.
t
he inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the tyre 
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
tyre pressures should be checked when the
 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour 
or after a journey of less than 6 miles   
(10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the 
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied the display of a 
message,depending on equipment.
F
 Reduce speed immediately
, avoid 
excessive steering movements and 
sudden braking
F
 Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
 
do so.
t
he loss of pressure detected does 
not always cause visible bulging of the 
tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual 
check.
F
 In the event of a puncture, use the
 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
 if you have a compressor
, such as the 
one in the temporary puncture repair kit, 
check the pressures of the four tyres 
when cold,
or
F
 if it is not possible to make this check
 
immediately, drive carefully at reduced 
speed.
t
he alert is maintained until the system 
is reinitialised.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
As far as possible, park the vehicle on level, 
stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the 
ignition and engage first gear (on a hill).
It is imperative that you ensure that the 
occupants get out of the vehicle and wait in 
a safe location.
If possible, place a chock under the 
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be 
changed.
