Driving
Displays in the instrument panel
When you move the lever in the gate to select a position, the corresponding indicator comes on in the instrument panel. P. Park R. Reverse N. Neutral D. Drive (Automatic driving) S. Spor t programme  . Snow programme 1 to 6. Gear engaged during manual operation -. Invalid value during manual operation
 With your foot on the brake, select position P or N .  Star t the engine. If this procedure is not followed, an audible signal is heard, accompanied by a message in the instrument panel screen.  With the engine running, press the brake pedal.  Release the parking brake, unless it is programmed to automatic mode.  Select position R , D or M .  Gradually release the brake pedal. The vehicle moves off immediately.
Moving off
When the engine is running at idle, with the brakes released, if position R , R D or M is selected, the vehicle moves even without the accelerator being pressed. When the engine is running, never leave children in the vehicle without super vision. When carrying out maintenance with the engine running, apply the parking brake and select position P . PP
If position N is engaged inadver tently while driving, allow the engine to return to idle then engage position D to accelerate.

Safety

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)). The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection system 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 avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.  Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Safety
Electronic stability programme (ESP) incorporating the following systems: - the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD), - the emergency braking assistance, - the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and offers improved control, in par ticular on poor or slippery road sur faces. The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking. The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables 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 resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) 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 monitors 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.

Checks
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for the details of the level checking inter val for this component.
6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the checking inter val for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details of the level checking inter val for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, par ticularly in the case of vehicles used in town, over shor t distances. It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle ser vices. Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Manual parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between
two ser vices. Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine ser vicing. However, in the event of a problem, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. For more information, see "Driving - Electric parking brake - § Operating faults".
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as impor tant as the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products. To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure washer in the engine compar tment is strictly prohibited .
