CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
To change the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the notch.
REPROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

 Switch off the ignition.

 Switch the ignition on again.

 Press the remote control locking
button immediately for a few seconds.
 Switch off the ignition and remove
the remote control key from the
ignition lock. The remote control is
now working again.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system
a few moments after the ignition has
been switched off and therefore pre-
vents starting of the vehicle by anyone
who does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the igni-
tion is switched on, the code is recognised
and starting is possible.

Do not discard the batteries,
they contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
If the system does not func-
tion correctly, the warning
light comes on on the instru-
ment panel display, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display.
In this case, your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
re-programme the remote control.

Make a careful note of the
number on each key. The
key number is coded on the
label attached to the key.

If the keys are lost, a PEUGEOT
dealer can rapidly supply you with
new keys.

The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is
a possibility that it may unlock your
vehicle, without you being aware of it.

The remote control does not oper-
ate when the key is in the ignition,
even when the ignition is switched
off, except for reprogramming.
Do not operate the deadlocking
function if there is anyone inside
the vehicle.

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.

As a safety precaution (with chil-
dren on board), remove the ignition
key when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time.

Do not repeatedly press the button
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control
would have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle, have the key codes memo-
rised by a PEUGEOT dealer to
ensure that the keys in your pos-
session are the only ones which
can start the vehicle.

Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system.

FILLING WITH FUEL
The fuel fi ller fl ap is electric, you can

only open it by pressing button A .
Button A is deactivated auto-
matically from 6 mph (10 km/h).
When fi lling with fuel, the
engine must be switched off
with the ignition off: Operating fault
A fuel gauge fault is indicated by the
fuel level indicator needle returning to
zero.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel warning

 Turn the cap to the left.

 Remove the cap and hang the end
on the hook located on the inside
of the fl ap.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fuel
fi ller fl ap indicates which type of fuel
to use.
When you fi ll your tank, do not con-
tinue after the third cut-off of the pump.
This could cause your vehicle to mal-
function.

The capacity of the tank is approxi-
mately 67 litres.

 After fi lling the tank, screw on the
cap and close the fuel fi ller fl ap.
Ensure that the fuel fi ller fl ap is
closed correctly. When this warning light
comes on in certain driving
conditions and depending
on the engine, the distance
which can be travelled with
the fuel remaining may be
less than 30 miles (50 kilometres).

Note: should you run out of fuel, you
must add at least 6 litres.

AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

When stationary and when the vehi-
cle is moving, the system automatically
corrects the height of the beam, what-
ever the load of the vehicle. The driver
is then assured of having optimum light-
ing and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
DIRECTIONAL HEADLAMPS
Activation/Deactivation
When the dipped or main beam head-
lamps are on, this function enables the
light beam to follow the direction of the
road.
The quality of your lighting when turning
is improved considerably.

In cases of malfunction,
the warning light comes on
on the instrument panel dis-
play, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display. The sys-
tem places your headlamps to the low
position.
Do not touch the xenon bulbs.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Function activated
Function deactivated To deactivate or acti-
vate the function, go to
the
"Personalisation-
Confi guration" menu on
your multifunction display.
When the engine is switched on, the
status of activation/deactivation of this
function selected when the engine was
switched off is retained.
By default, this function is activated.

Note: when stationary or dri-
ving at very low speed, or in
reverse gear, this function is
inactive.

In the event of a malfunc-
tion, this warning light fl ash-
es on the instrument panel.
On vehicles fi tted with daytime
lights, the function is only acti-
vated if the lights stalk is in the
dipped/main beam headlamps
position.
On starting, with the engine
running, the headlamps ini-
tialise automatically and per-
form a vertical sweep.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) incorporates the following sys-
tems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the braking system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance system,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Traction control (ASR)
The ASR system optimises traction in
order to avoid wheel slip by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the
directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the
path followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the DSC moni-
tors 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.
Operating modes
Definitions
Emergency braking assistance
system
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles 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 resis-
tance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking. 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 vehi-
cle when braking.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP
and ABS warning lights,
accompanied by a buzzer
and a message, it indicates
that there is a malfunction of the elec-
tronic brake force distribution, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and braking system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The braking system provides integral
management of the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and braking system (EBFD)

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without relea sing
the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs,
the warning light comes on accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The DSC offers improved
safety during normal driving
but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks (late
braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaran-
teed on condition that the manufactu-
rer's instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

panel.
The indicator light comes on.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in mud, immo-
bilised in snow, on unstable ground…),
it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC.

 Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch light and the indicator light
come on: the DSC no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.
