hicle is moving, the lighting of one of the
following warning lamps indicates the
occurrence of a fault requiring interven-
tion on the part of the driver.
Central alert.
Lighting is associated with
the displaying of another
warning lamp:
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- power steering,
- engine oil pressure,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
Service.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a problem in one
of the systems which does not
have a specifi c warning lamp.
To identify the problem, consult the
message on the multifunction screen. Braking.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in one of
the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the brake fl uid level,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous
lighting of the ABS warning lamp),
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
When the vehicle is moving, check that
the parking brake is fully released.
Any fault resulting in the displaying
of a warning lamp must be investi-
gated further by reading the associ-
ated message on the multifunction
screen.
In the event of diffi culty, do not
hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Warning lamps
Common warning lamps After checking:
- that the doors, boot, the rear
screen and bonnet are closed,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash fl uid level,
- the remote control battery,
- the pressure of the tyres,
- the end of saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel),
for any other situations, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the anti-
lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent operation
of the vehicle's servo-assisted braking.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS Water in diesel * .

occurrence of a fault in the auto-
matic headlamp adjustment.
Particle emission fi lter
(Diesel).
If this is displayed, linked with
the service warning lamp, it indi-
cates the start of saturation of the parti-
cle emission fi lter or a low diesel additive
reservoir level.
As soon as traffi c conditions permit, re-
generate the fi lter by driving at a speed
of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
service warning lamp is switched off.
If the service warning lamp is still dis-
played, the additive level is low. Have it
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.

SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and con-
tinuously checks the pressure of the
tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fi tted with this system
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
locate the wheel concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
Flat tyre The
STOP warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp
is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal and a message on the
multifunction screen locating the
wheel concerned.

 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

 Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not fi tted with
a sensor.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces. When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.

You
must
stop as soon as it is safe
to do so. Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer. When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure. EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE CALL
This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and telematics"
section.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
