HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
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.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
This system is linked and complemen-
tary to the ABS system.
In the event of a signifi cant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel and
acts automatically on the engine and
on the brake of one or more wheels, to
put the vehicle back on course, within
the limit of the laws of physics.

Operating fault
When a malfunction of the system oc-
curs, the warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Instrument panel indicator light.
The ESP offers exceptional
safety during normal driving,
but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks
(late braking) or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of the system depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the 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. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
This indicates that the ABS is
faulty.
It also comes on on the instru-
ment panel screen.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure 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 the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
crease in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency, press
fi rmly without releasing the pressure.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.

Auto-adaptive programme

 select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the follow-
ing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the profi le of the road,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration with-
out touching the lever, press the ac-
celerator down fully (kick down). The
programme will change down auto-
matically or will stay in the gear select-
ed until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down automati-
cally in order to provide effi cient engine
braking. Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or mo-
ving very slowly, the gearbox automa-
tically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function
screen.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
Defl ated tyre Instrument panel display warn-
ing lamp.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the mul-
tifunction screen identifying the wheel
concerned.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Puncture
This warning lamp, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multifunction screen identifying the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the 'STOP' warning lamp. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
Instrument panel screen warn-
ing lamp. 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 install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (see the label on
the door pillar) to ensure that the op-
timum dynamic performance of the
vehicle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature 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. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem may experience temporary interfer-
ence due to electromagnetic emissions
on a frequency close to that used by the
system.

Note : this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a sensor
are fi tted.
Instrument panel display warn-
ing lamp.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the mul-
tifunction screen which indicates that
under-infl ation detection is absent
from one (or several) wheel(s) or that
there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
