under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and, depending on equipment, 
the display of a message.Before reinitialising the system, 
ensure that the pressures of 
the four tyres are correct for the 
use of the vehicle and in line with the 
recommendations on the tyre pressure 
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be 
relied on if the reinitialisation of the 
system has done with the pressures in 
the four tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system 
does not give a warning if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected 
does not always cause visible 
bulging of the tyre. Do not satisfy 
yourself with just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the 
system is reinitialised.

PARKIN g  BRAK e
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to 
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied 
firmly before leaving the vehicle. 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).
Press this button, the direction 
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only 
be used in dangerous situations, when 
stopping in an emergency or when 
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your 
wheels towards the pavement and pull 
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging 
a gear after parking the vehicle, 
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has 
not been released properly, this is 
indicated by this warning lamp which 
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, 
depending on the force of deceleration, 
the hazard warning lamps come 
on automatically. They switch off 
automatically the first time you 
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by 
pressing the switch on the dashboard.Releasing

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

the electronic brake force distribution 
which could result in a loss of control of 
the vehicle on braking.

 e ( e BA)
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.

 (DSC)
These systems are linked and 
complement  the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and 
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle 
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent 
the wheels skidding, by acting on the 
brakes of the drive wheels and on the 
engine. It also allows the directional 
stability of the vehicle to be improved 
on acceleration.
u
se the DSC to hold your course 
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the 
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the DSC 
system automatically acts on the 
engine and the brake of one or more 
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back 
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions 
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud 
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could 
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and 
DSC systems to make the wheels spin 
and regain grip.

g
ood practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but 
should not incite the driver to take risks 
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
components and the fitting and repair 
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a P eugeo T dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

Different modes are available:
Normal (eSC)
e
SC  o FF Snow
This mode allows the vehicle 
to adapts its strategy to the 
conditions of grip encountered 
for each of the two
  front 
wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises 
wheelspin to provide the best 
acceleration possible for the grip 
available.
off road
(mud, wet grass,   ...)
 When moving off, this 
mode allows considerable 
wheelspin on the wheel 
with the least grip to favour 
clearing of the mud and 
regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as 
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises 
wheelspin to meet the driver's 
requirements as fully as possible.
Sand
 This mode allows a little 
wheelspin on the two driving 
wheels at the same time to 
allow the vehicle to move 
forward and reduces the risk 
of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand 
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated for a 
low level of skidding, based 
on different conditions of grip 
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the 
system returns automatically to DSC 
mode.
This mode is only suitable 
for specific conditions 
encountered when moving off 
or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h) 
the system returns to DSC mode 
automatically.
