or when the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamp and the sidelamps will remain on.
F

T
urn 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 sufficient 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
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate ring A to the "0" position -
lamps off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the sidelamps, switch off
automatically after a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

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.
F
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 THP 270 hp version).
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is
switched back on.
You can also reactivate them manually:
F

Press this button again.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6

THP 270 hp version).
Operating fault
d

SC/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 difficult 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 difficult 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
benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and
ASR

systems

in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fitted 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 qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or a qualified workshop.

the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few minutes after the ignition is switched off, this electronic engine
immobiliser locks the engine management system and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.

flashes
for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position
d

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox

(selector between two positions).
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P or N to
place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle. If the selector is not in position P, when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off,
there is an audible signal accompanied by a message.

P
; the audible signal stops and
the message disappears.
OPERATING F AULT
When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is 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 a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.

if you force the selector from position P

to another position
when
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the

engine running (traffic jam, etc.), place the gear selector in
position N

and apply the parking brake.
