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.
I f t h e s y s t e m d o e s n o t f u n c -
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.

AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
W h e n s t a t i o n a r y a n d w h e n t h e v e h i -
c l e i s m o v i n g , 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.
I n c a s e s o f m a l f u n c t i o n ,
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.

ving at very low speed, or in
reverse gear, this function is
inactive.

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
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
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.

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.

come on: the DSC no longer acts on
