Low fuel levelfixed with the needle
in the red zone. When it first comes on there remainsapproximately 5 litresof fuel in the
tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel reserve.Refuel as soon as possible to avoid runnin
g out of
fuel.This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres .
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injectionsystems.

fixed. The anti-lock braking system has a
fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a

Tr iggering of the alarm


This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds.
The monitorin
g functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in succession.
)Press the unlocking button on
the remote control to deactivate
the exterior perimeter monitoring.
) Press the locking button on theremote control to activate all themonitoring functions.
The indicator lamp in the button

forms you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the ignition
is switched on, this flashing stops immediately.



Failure of the remote control

To deactivate the monitoring functions:
)Unlock the vehicle using the key in thedriver's door lock. )Open the door; the alarm is triggered.)Switch on the ignition; the alarm stops. The
indicator lamp in the button goes off.

Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
)Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the keyin the driver's door lock.


Malfunction


When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a mal
function of the system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Automatic activation *



2 minutes after the last door or the boot isclosed, the system is activated automatically. )To avoid triggering the alarm on entering
the vehicle, first press the unlocking buttonon the remote control. To be effective, this deactivation mustbe carried out each time the ignition is switched off.

Safety
Electronic Stability Programme incorporatingthe following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or tractioncontrol,

- the d
ynamic stability control (DSC).






























Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in par ticular 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
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)

The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control(DSC)

If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required bythe 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.

Safety
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing thepressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may makeitself felt by slight vibrations of the brakepedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, whichcould cause loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.

When this warnin
g lamp comes on,coupled with the STOP
warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Safety
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 slackrelative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for shor t journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightenedcorrectly on the child seat and that it securesthe child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,move it for wards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "forwards-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 discomfor t.
If the head restraint has to be removed,ensure that it is stored or attached securelyto prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking.





Advice on child seats

As a safety precaution, do not leave: - a child or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle, - a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windowsclosed,
- the keys within reach of children insidethe vehicle.To prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock". Take care not to open the rear windows bymore than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forwards-facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rearwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.


Installing a booster seat

The chest par t of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder withouttouching 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, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

Practical information
Changing brake lamp, reversing lamp and direction indicator bulbs
These three bulbs are changed from inside the boot:
)open the boot, )remove the access grille from the corresponding side trim panel,)slacken and remove the nut,)disconnect the lamp unit connector, )unclip the lamp unit carefully extract itpulling in line towards the outside,
)
press the four tabs and remove the bulbholder,)
turn the bulb a quar ter of a turn and change it.
To reassemble, carry out these operations inreverse order.
Take care to engage the lamp unit in its guides,while keeping it in line with the vehicle.
Tighten sufficiently to ensure sealing, but without damaging the lamp.
