Warning/indicator lampStateCause Action/Observations
Low fuel level Fixed, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message. When it first comes on, about 6 litres

of fuel remain in the tank.
You are now starting to use the fuel
reserve. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this warning
lamp reappears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible warning and a message.
This audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards 0.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
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 the
dealer network or a qualified workshop without delay.
Dynamic
stability control
(DSC/ASR) Flashing.
Regulation by the system is active. The system optimises traction and allows improved
directional stability of the vehicle.
Fixed, associated
with illumination of
the indicator lamp

button, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message. The DSC/ASR or hill start assist
system has a fault.
Have it checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.

The indicator lamp in the button flashes once per second again.
Triggering the alarm
This results in sounding the siren and flashing
the direction indicators for thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the "Keyless Entry and Starting"
system, 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.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic
Stability Control) integrating 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).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
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.
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)
This 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.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.

Safety

109
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS system may
be indicated by slight vibration felt at the
brake pedal.
In case of emergency braking, press
ver y hard without releasing the
pressure at all.
After an impact, have these systems
checked in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. The indicator lamp in the button comes on to
indicate that these systems are deactivated.
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.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above around 30 mph (50 km/h).
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate them
manually.
Operating fault
The illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, indicates that
there is a fault with these systems.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked in the
dealer network or by a qualified workshop as
