Good practice
t
he ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.
o

peration
It is triggered 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.
Switching off
t

his system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
o

perating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking. When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to

do

so.
In either case, contact a P
euge

used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or
indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
take used oil to a P

dealer or

a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.

these regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order. Ask for advice at a P

or consult the warranty and maintenance
record contained in the handbook pack.
to maintain the reliability of engines and


emission control systems, the use of
additives in engine oil is prohibited.
changing the brake fluid
the brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
u

se fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DO

t

he level must be between the MI n and

If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a P

as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the engine
styling cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the fixing clips.

Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed
the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps on the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to set off -

oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.

operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred
in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have the whole system checked by a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If there is risk of blockage of the


filter, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
Saturation /
r
egeneration
Because of the higher exhaust
gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,

...) so as to avoid
any risk of fire.
Particle filter system (diesel)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
o

peration
t

his filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot.
t

he engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
t

he regeneration procedure is invoked
according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena
-
increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature
- which does not affect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally
notice water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating.
t

his is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle or
to the environment.to regenerate the filter , it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions and the law permit, at a speed
of at least 40
mph (around 60 km/h), with
an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about
fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
t

his alert tells you that the particle filter
is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams etc.).
