Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Operation
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position
N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. -
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10
km/h),
-
d

engine.

Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and/or the display of a
message, depending on version.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle.
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised for engine
starting to be authorised.
This 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.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous
pull on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle .
The dynamic stability control (DSC) provides
stability during emergency braking.
If there is a fault with the emergency braking,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
-
"
Parking brake faulty".
-
"
Parking brake control faulty". If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking stability
is not guaranteed.
Emergency braking must only be used
in exceptional circumstances.
Particular situations
Parking the vehicle, brake
released
To release the parking brake:
F S witch the ignition on without
starting the engine.
F
P
ress the brake pedal and release
the parking brake by pulling then
releasing control lever A .
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by the indicator lamp in the
control lever A and the indicator lamp in
the instrument panel going off and the
display of the "Parking brake released"
message. In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull release"
actions on control lever A
.

Stopping the vehicleOperating fault
With the ignition on, if this warning
lamp comes on and AUTO flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
-
m
ove to position N to engage neutral,
-
l
eave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, it is essential that you apply the
parking brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless
it is programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the
engine running, it is essential to place
the gear lever in neutral N .
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N and that the
parking brake is applied. It is essential to press the brake pedal
when starting the engine.
When parking, is it essential to apply
the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle, whatever the circumstances.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, drive at walking speed.

Gear shift indicator*
* Depending on engine.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking, ...).
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging reverse gear.
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. In fact, the
configuration of the road, the amount of traffic
and safety remain determining factors when
choosing the best gear. Therefore, the driver
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Example:
-
Y
ou are in third gear.
-
Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.-
T
he system may suggest that you engage
a higher gear.
The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the gear
recommended.
With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode.
On BlueHDi Diesel 136 and 150 versions with
manual gearbox, the system may suggest
changing into neutral so that the engine can go
into standby (STOP mode with Stop & Start),
in certain driving conditions. In this case, N is
displayed in the instrument panel.
