pressed. With an electronic gearbox, selector in position N
,
press the brake pedal to start the engine.
With an automatic gearbox, with the engine running,
press the brake pedal before releasing the parking
brake to unlock the lever and come out of position P .
If you wish to release the parking brake without
pressing the brake pedal, this warning lamp will
remain on.
Flashing. With an electronic gearbox, if
you hold the vehicle on an incline
using the accelerator for too long,
the clutch overheats. Use the brake pedal and/or the parking brake.
Anti-lock
Braking System
(ABS) Fixed.
The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without
d e l ay.

Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
F Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door lock.
Triggering of the alarm
When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds
and the direction indicators flash for thirty
seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times
consecutively.
When the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote control, rapid flashing
of the indicator lamp in the button
informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence.
Upon ignition, this flashing stops
immediately.
Deactivate the monitoring
functions
To stop the alarm, for example if the remote
control is not working:
F

U
nlock the vehicle using the key in the
driver's door lock.
F

o
pen the door; the alarm is triggered,
F

S
witch on the ignition; this stops the alarm.
The indicator lamp goes off.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on,
fixed illumination of the button’s
indicator lamp indicates a fault in the
system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

If you purchased your vehicle outside the
Brand network, we invite you to have the
configuration of these ser vices checked
and, if desired, have a dealer change it to
suit your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices to customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
telematic system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC). It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
Safety

79
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
When lit up fixed, this warning lamp
indicates a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBD) is defective.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly. In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
Deactivation
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Deactivating using the button
F P ress this button.
The button indicator lamp comes on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.

Active City Brake
A preventive driving assistance system
that, using a sensor located at the top of the
windscreen, automatically applies the vehicle's
brakes if driving behind a vehicle that is slowing
down rapidly, stopping or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce
the speed of impact.
This system has been designed to improve
driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles.Active City Brake cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
If operation is triggered:
-

D
isplay of a message.
- I llumination of the brake lamps.
The automatic braking is triggered as a last
resort, if the driver fails to apply the brakes
sufficiently firmly or at all, or to take avoiding
action.
The laser beam is invisible. Never look at
the laser sensor with an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope, etc.): risk
of eye injury. Conditions for operation:

Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
Apply the parking brake.
Switch the ignition off.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
lever in position R to block the wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
lever in position P to block the wheels.
Check for fixed illumination of the parking
brake warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
Make absolutely certain that all the
occupants have left the vehicle and are
waiting in a safe area.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
F Place the foot of jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the front
A or rear B jacking point provided on the
underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is stable on a sur face
that is not loose or slippery and positioned
only at jacking points A or B under the
vehicle, making sure that the jack head is
centred at the contact point on the vehicle.
Other wise, there is a risk of damage to
the vehicle and/or the jack collapsing or
slipping – Risk of injury!
