Operation
The warning lamp flashes when the 
ASR or ESC is triggered.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
ASR and ESC systems, so that the wheels can 
spin and regain grip.F
 
P
 ress the button or turn the 
knob to the ESC OFF position 
(depending on version).
The LED lights up: the ASR and ESC systems 
are deactivated.
They reactivate again:
-
 
a
 utomatically above 31   mph (50   km/h),
If there is a difference between the path followed 
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the 
ESC system automatically acts on the brake of 
one or more wheels and on the engine to return 
the vehicle to the required path.
- manually when you press the button again or turn the knob 
to this position (depending on 
ve r s i o n).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
systems, the warning lamp and the 
LED come on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message on the 
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of 
each tyre.
Although the ASR /ESC systems help to 
improve safety in normal driving, they 
should not encourage the driver to take 
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which 
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been 
optimised for each situation, allows you to 
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip 
(encountered during passenger car use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power 
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds 
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on to confirm your choice.

Airbags
General
The airbags do not operate when the 
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same or 
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not 
be deployed again.The passenger's front airbag must be 
deactivated if a rear ward facing child seat 
is installed on a front passenger seat.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags 
is accompanied by a slight emission of 
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation 
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in 
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the 
deployment of an airbag may result in a 
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors 
record and analyse the front and side impacts 
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
 
i
n the event of violent impact, the airbags 
are deployed instantly and help better 
protect the occupants of the vehicle; 
immediately after the impact, the airbags 
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder 
the visibility or the possible exit of the 
occupants,
-
 
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in 
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags 
may not be deployed; the seat belt 
alone contributes towards ensuring your 
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on 
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 
vehicle at the moment of impact.
The airbags have been designed to optimise 
the safety of the occupants in the event of a 
serious collision; they work in conjunction with 
the force limiting seat belts.

the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at 
least 620
  miles (1,000   kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of 
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height 
of your vehicle. For more information on adjusting 
the Headlamp beam

Tyre under-inflation 
detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre 
pressure while driving.
The system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of 
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more 
tyres.This system does not eliminate the need 
to check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
handling, extends braking distances and 
causes early tyre wear, particularly in 
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high 
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure specifications for your 
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
Tyre pressure should be checked when 
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1
  hour or after a journey of less than 
6
  miles (10   km) at moderate speeds). 
Other wise, add 0.3
  bar (30   kPa) to the 
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification 
markings , including the tyre pressure 
label, refer to the corresponding section.
Under-inflation alert 
This is indicated by continuous 
illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and, depending on 
equipment, the display of a message.
- In the event of a puncture, use the  temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment).

i
 f it is not possible to make this check 
immediately, drive carefully at reduced 
speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not 
always cause visible bulging of the tyre. 
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres 
concerned are reinflated, repaired or 
replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver or a steel 
rim type) does not have a sensor.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed 
illumination of this under-inflation 
warning lamp accompanied by the 
illumination of the Ser vice warning 
lamp, and depending on equipment, 
the display of a message indicates a 
fault with the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no 
longer monitored.
This alert is also displayed when one or 
more wheels are not fitted with a sensor 
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare 
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked or, 
following the repair of a puncture, to have the 
original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
Tyre under-inflation 
detection with 
reinitialisation
The system monitors the pressure in all four 
tyres, as soon as the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the 
wheel speed sensors with reference values, 
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre 
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert once a drop in 
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system does 
not replace the need for vigilance on the 
part of the driver.
This system does not eliminate the need 
to check the tyre inflation pressures 
(including the spare) every month and

Change the oil filter each time the 
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer’s 
ser vicing schedule for details of 
the replacement inter val for this 
component.
Particle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be 
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
An access flap allows you to change the filters.
The carbon filter filters dust continuously and 
ef f i c i e nt l y.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may 
reduce the per formance of the air conditioning 
system and generate undesirable odours. We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its 
second special active filter, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanliness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record 
for details on the replacement inter vals for 
these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere, etc.) and the use of the vehicle 
(urban driving, etc.), change them twice as 
often if necessary.
Bleeding water from the

HDi engines make use of advanced 
technology. Specialist knowledge is 
needed for any work on the system, 
which can only be assured by PEUGEOT 
dealers.
When accelerating after prolonged operation 
of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you 
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the 
emission of water vapour at the exhaust. This 
does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or
