Limit the causes of excess 
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place 
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, 
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, 
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a 
roof box.
Remove roof bars and the roof rack after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and 
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, 
referring to the label in the door aperture, 
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
b
 efore a long journey,
-
 
a
 t each change of season,
-
 
a
 fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on 
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine 
oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment 
filter, etc.) and obser ve the schedule of 
operations in the manufacturer's service 
schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the 
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only 
after the first 1,900
  miles (3,000   kilometres) 
that you will see the fuel consumption settle 
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR 
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes 
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop as soon as possible to 
bring your vehicle’s nitrogen oxide emissions 
back in line with the regulations.

Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS/EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, 
and the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel.
The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance.
On very slippery sur faces (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 sur face; you 
will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the 
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.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 when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on 
together with the brake and STOP 
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 when braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking 
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to 
reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal 
under your foot.To maintain operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system, press very 
firmly on the brake pedal, maintaining this 
pressure.
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 approved by 
P E U G E O T.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) 
and electronic stability 
c ont rol  (ESC)
These systems are associated with and 
complementary to the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for maintaining 
optimum traction and avoiding loss of control of 
the vehicle during acceleration.
This system optimises traction to prevent the 
wheels from skidding by acting on the brakes 
of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also 
improves the directional stability of the vehicle on 
acceleration.
With the ESC system, maintain the direction 
without attempting to steer in the opposite 
direction.

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.

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

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
