INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Handbrake, low brake fluid and ElectronicBrake Force Distributionsystem fault warning
light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight. This indicates one of the following:
Ð that the handbrake is applied or not fully released,
Ð an excessive drop in brake fluid level (if the warning light remains on even when the handbrake isreleased).
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system, if lit at
the same time as the ABS warninglight.
You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTSAND CONTROLS
A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating faultof the unit concerned. The illumi-nation of certain warning lightsmay be accompanied by an audi-ble signal and a message on the
multifunction display. Do notignore this warning: consult a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon aspossible.
If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,where it is safe to do so.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warninglight
This comes on for 3 seconds eachtime the ignition is switched on. If the warning light remains on or comes on above 8 mph (12 km/h),
this indicates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven- tional servo-assisted braking. Lighting of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signaland the message "ABS fault"on the
multifunction display.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low coolant level warninglight
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
Wait for the engine to cool before top-ping up the level. The cooling circuit is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent any risk of burns , unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine
oil pressure", "coolant temperature and low coolant level", "handbrake","low brake fluid level" and "electronicbrake force distribution system fault"warning lights.
You must stop if the light flasheswith the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure and temperature warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
This warning light indicates one ofthe following:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð a lack of oil in the lubrication cir- cuit. Top up the level.
Ð an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is acom-
panied by an audible signal. Tolower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

AUTOMATIC AUTOADAPTIVE GEARBOX Moving Off
To move off, move the selector lever to position
Nor P. Press the brake to
exit position P. Stopped or parked Always leave the lever in position Pwhen you get out of your vehicle.
If not, a buzzer will sound when you open the driver's door. Positions of the selector lever These positions are displayed on the instrument panel. P. Park: use with the handbrake.
R. Reverse: this must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary, engine at idle.
N. Neutral: if Nis engaged by mistake while the car is moving, allow the
engine to return to idle before engaging a new forward gear.
D. Drive: in this position, the four gears change automatically. The gearchange points vary depending on the programme selected.
3. Automatic changing of the first three gears only. Select this position when you notice frequent changes between third and fourth gear (town driving or on winding roads).
2. Automatic changing of the first two gears only. This position is particularly suitable for mountain roads, when going uphill (to make the best use of the engine's power) or downhill (engine braking).

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THEELECTRONIC BRAKEFORCE DISTRIBUTION(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability andmanoevrability of your vehicle, par-ticularly on poor or slippery roadsurfaces. Note :when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of theABS, which can cause a loss of con-trol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOPand ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message "Braking
fault" , it indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake forcedistribution, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
HANDBRAKE Locking Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.
Warning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pavement and pull the handbrake. Unlocking Pull on the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarning
light, accompanied by an audi-ble signal (while the vehicle is
being driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on orhas not been properly released.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,thus reducing the stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. In the event of emergency braking, depending on the force of the decel-eration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically onacceleration.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION125
CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT deal-
er. Air filter and passenger compartment filter Have the filter elements replaced regu-
larly. If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often .
Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles which are used in town, overshort distances. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads, even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor- mance from compo-
nents as important as the powersteering and the braking system,PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is neces- sary to re-prime the circuit: 1.4 litre HDI engine
Ð fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
Ð operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bonnet,
Ð operate the starter until the engine starts.
