Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
HORN


)
Press one of the spokes of the
steering wheel.
Use the horn moderately and only
in the following cases:


- immediate danger,

- when approaching an area
where there is no visibility.

Audible warning to alert other road us-
ers to an imminent danger.
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the hazard
warning lamps come on automatically.
They switch off automatically the fi rst
time you accelerate.


)
You can also switch them off by
pressing the button.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp petrol engine, deactivating
the ESP/ASR systems also deactivates
the automatic operation of the hazard
warning lamps; refer to the section "Tra-
jectory control systems - § Deactivation".

SAFETY
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional 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 on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- repair and assembly procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, located
in the middle of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the indicator
lamp in the button come on, this in-
dicates that the ASR and ESP sys-
tems are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.


Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp pet-
rol engine).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
SYSTEMS


Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics. On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp engine, this action also
reactivates the automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps.

DRIVING
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


Operation

The system intervenes only when driving
economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-
ry. In fact, the confi guration of the road,
the amount of traffi c and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

*
According to engine.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

- The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the instru-
ment panel in the form of an arrow ac-
companied by the suggested gear.

In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the per-
formance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.

9DRIVING
HILL START ASSIST *

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot

This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,

- in particular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deacti-
vated.

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal and you are in fi rst
gear or neutral.



Operation


On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
