- a cut or slack alternator belt,
- an alternator failure.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Emission control
system warning light
(according to model)
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on.
If it comes on with the engine run -
ning, this indicates incorrect operation
of the injection, ignition or emission
control system.
If the warning light lashes, there
is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter on petrol engines.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Diesel engine pre-heat
warning light
Wait until the warning light
goes out before starting the engine.
If the temperature is high enough,
the warning light comes on for less
than one second. You can start the
engine without waiting.
Low fuel level
warning light
When this light irst co -
mes on, you have enough fuel to drive
at least 30 miles (50 km). The tank ca-
pacity is approximately 50 litres.
Speed limiter/cruise
control indicator light
This comes on when the
speed limiter or cruise control
is activated.
Dynamic stability
control system (ESP/
ASR) warning light
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on.
With the engine running and when
the vehicle is moving, it comes on if
the system is activated.
It lights permanently accompanied by
a message on the multifunction dis-
play when the system is disarmed.
If the warning light remains lit with
the engine running and when the ve -
hicle is moving, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer. Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) warning
light
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light remains on or co -
mes on above 8 mph (12 km/h), this
indicates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven -
tional servo-assisted braking.
Illumination of this warning light, ac -
companied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction dis-
play, indicates a fault in the ABS sys -
tem.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

ADVICE ON CHILD
SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child’s protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keeping
the slack in relation to the child’s
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle’s seat
and that the head restraint does not
cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the air bag were to inlate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child’s shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child’s
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, it
-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win -
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, it side blinds on the
rear windows.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), make sure that these are ap -
proved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena -
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus reduc -
ing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated. The effect of
this is a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in braking
eficiency.
When braking in an emergency,
press irmly without releasing the
pressure.
Depending on the force of the decel-
eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel -
eration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP
warning light, accom -
panied by a buzzer and a
message, it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very irmly without releasing the
pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the right. Operating check
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking compo -
nents, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac
-
companied by a message
on the multifunction display:
the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.
These are triggered again :
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act
-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra -
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.

the ground, the following rules must
be adhered to:
- gear lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at a speed less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over
a distance of not more than
30 miles (50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox. Rear towing eye
From the front or the rear
Attach the tow bar to the towing eye.
By lifting (two wheels only on the
ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle by
the wheels.
Without lifting (four wheels on the
ground)
You must always use a tow bar.
VEHICLES FITTED WITH A
MANUAL GEARBOX
(diesel version)
In the case of vehicles itted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the "neutral" position. Failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to certain brak-
ing components and the absence of
braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.
