ANtI-LoCK BRAKINg SYSteM
(ABS / e BFD)
The ABS and eBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The
ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the
e BFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and ST
o
P warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.

In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
firmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed down.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To maintain operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
o
n very slippery surfaces (ice, oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are listed by
P
eugeo T for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P
eugeo T
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Driving safely

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
o
therwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a P
eugeo T dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. u nscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a P
eugeo T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a P
eugeo
T
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the P
eugeo T range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
filter)
topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a P
eugeo T dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

Checks
good practice
only use products recommended by
P eugeo T or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, P
eugeo T selects and offers
specific products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment is strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.
HDi engines use advanced
technology
. All work requires
special training, so should be
entrusted to a P
eugeo
T dealer.
Depending on country of sale. To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the filter.
o
perate until all of the water no longer
flows in the transparent pipe, then
tighten the bleed screw.

1. Parking the vehicle
- The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait in a safe location.
-
If possible, park the vehicle on level,
stable and non-slippery ground.
-
Apply the parking brake, switch
of
f the ignition and engage first or
reverse gear. -
Place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
changed.

This procedure requires the use of
the spanner supplied with the tools for
changing a wheel.When refitting, take care to
reposition the tabs and the wiring
correctly to avoid trapping the
wiring.
After changing the rear direction
indicator bulb, the reinitialisation time is
above 2 minutes. - Move aside the 4 tabs then extract
the bulb holder
.
-
Remove the faulty bulb by
pressing it lightly while turning it
anticlockwise.

Change the bulb.
When removing the lamp unit:
-
with tailgate, pull the lamp unit
towards the centre of the vehicle,
-
with hinged doors, pull the lamp
unit towards you.

The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, Co

vehicle are given in the registration
certificate.
These characteristics correspond
to the values type-approved
on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation
(Directive
1999/99/ e C).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure for the model. Contact

These values, expressed in kg, can be
found on the manufacturer's VIN plate
or label.
The maximum weights and towed
loads for your vehicle can be found on
the vehicle's registration certificate.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
filled to 90%.
The
g TW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres. The value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
g
TW is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing a trailer increases braking
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation in force in the country). The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable with or without tools).
g
VW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum authorised weight.
gt
W: gross train weight, the maximum
weight for vehicle plus trailer.
The location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification markings" section.
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult a P
eugeo T dealer.
