Water in diesel filter warning light
This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Lighting of this warning light indicates that there is water in the diesel fil-
ter.
There is a risk of damage to the injection system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 33
Passenger air bag disarmed warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the warning light comes on when the ignition is switched on and stays on.
In all cases, if the warning light flashes, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Low fuel level warning light The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is swit- ched on. Lighting of this warning light while the engine is running indicates that
the fuel level is low.When the warning comes on, you have at least 8 litres of fuelleft.
Air bags warning light The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is swit- ched on. Lighting of this warning light while the engine is running indicates:
- a front air bags fault, or- a side air bags fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Programming the remote control ☞Switch off the ignition.
☞ Switch the ignition on again.
☞ Immediately press button A.
☞ Switch off the ignition and remo- ve the remote control key from
the ignition lock. The remotecontrol is now working again.
Confidential Card The confidential card is necessary for any work carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer on the system. It contains:
-a five digit identification code 1
necessary for the emergency star- ting procedure,
- a code 2for reproduction of your
keys by a PEUGEOT dealer.
These codes are hidden by a film,which should be removed only if
necessary. Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the vehicle.
Key in ignition A buzzer sounds on opening the dri-
ver's door, if the key has been left in the ignition. Changing the battery of the remote control If the indicator light on the key lights only once, or does not light at allwhen the button is pressed, change
the battery.
To
do this, unclip the casing using a
coin at the ring (CR2032/3 volt battery).If the remote control does not work after the battery has been changed,reinitialise the remote control.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER This locks the engine control system as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore preventsstarting 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 ignition is switched on, thecode must be recognised for startingto be possible. If the system does not function
correctly, the electronic immobiliser
key indicator light, situated on theinstrument panel, flashes rapidlywhen the ignition is switched on(2nd notch). In this case your vehicle will not start.

The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion.
Operation of the ASR systemWhen this system is opera- ting, this light flashes.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) This system is linked with and com-
plements the ABS. Disarming the ASR system In exceptional conditions (starting the vehicle when stuck in mud, on
snow, on unstable ground ... ), it may
prove useful to disarm the ASR sys-tem to allow the wheels to skid andregain grip. ☞
Press switch Ain the centre of
the instrument panel.
The indicator light on the switch and the warning light
come on: the ASR systemwill no longer act on theoperation of the engine orthe brakes. It will come into operation again: ☞
automatically above 30 km/h,
☞ manually when the switch is pressed again.
Operating check When a malfunction of thesystem occurs, the warninglight on the instrument panelcomes on.

Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
The operation of the sys- tem is ensured to theextent to which therecommendations of themanufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and wheel rims),the braking components, the elec-tronic components and the assem-bly and repair procedures withinthe PEUGEOT network are obser-ved. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Illumination of this warning light indicates a malfunctionof the electronic brake forcedistribution, which cancause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION155
BATTERY
To
charge the battery using a battery charger:
- disconnect the battery,
- follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
- reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul- phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery:
- connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,
- connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro-
ken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery.
Operate the starter, let the engine run. W ait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
- Never disconnect a ter-
minal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
- After every disconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignitionand wait 1 minute before startingto allow the electronic systems tobe initialised. If slight difficultiesare experienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Y our vehicle is basically designed
for transporting people and luggage but it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by 10%and so on for every 1000 metres ofaltitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approachesthe maximum permitted without excee-ding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible. T
yres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: towing increases the braking
distance.Lights: check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.Side wind: take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
