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 ofthe vehicle to be improved onacceleration.
Operation of the ASR systemWhen this system is operat- ing, 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 fascia panel.
The indicator light on the switch and the warning light
come on: the ASR system willno longer act on the operationof the engine or the brakes. It will come into operation again: 
automatically above 20 mph (30 km/h),
 manually when the switch ispressed again.
Operating check When a malfunction of thesystem occurs, the warninglight on the instrument panelcomes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system checked.

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 the rec-ommendations 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 areobserved. 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.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Removing the wheel Place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite to the one tobe changed.
 Remove the trim, using thewheelbrace 4, pulling at the valve
passage hole.
 Loosen the wheel bolts using thewheelbrace 4.
 Place the jack 1in contact with
one of the four locating points E
on the sub-frame, (the one whichis closest to the wheel to bechanged).
 Extend the jack 1using the ratch-
et spanner 2until its base is in
contact with the ground. Ensurethat the centre line of the base ofthe jack is straight above thelocating point E. 
Raise the vehicle.
 Unscrew the bolts and removethe wheel.
Fitting a wheel  Position the wheel.
 Tighten the bolts by hand.
 Partly tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 4.
 Fold the jack 1and remove it.
 Fully tighten the bolts using thewheelbrace 4.
 Replace the wheel trim, startingby placing the wheel trim notchopposite the valve, and press iton using the palm of the hand.
 Put the tools under the passen-ger seat and the wheel under thevehicle For your safety, always change the wheel:
Ð on level, stable, non-
slippery ground,
Ð with the handbrake on and the ignition switched off,
Ð with first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox),
Ð with the vehicle chocked. Never go underneath a vehicle that is supported only by a jack(use a ramp). After changing the wheel: Ð have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible,
Ð have the punctured tyre repaired and refit it to the vehi-cle as soon as possible.

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.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage butit 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 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 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 withoutexceeding 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. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle and of the
trailer, observing the recommendedpressures. Braking: Towing increases the
braking distance. Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
