Cause



Action / Observations






STOP


fi xed, alone
or associated
with another
warning lamp,
accompanied by
an audible signal
and a message
in the screen. Illumination of this warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system, power
steering, engine lubrication or
cooling system malfunction or a
punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a risk that the
engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.




Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed with the
needle in the red
zone. The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping up
the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.




Braking


fi xed, associated
with the STOP
warning lamp. The braking system fl uid level is
too low. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fl uid recommended by PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

+

fi xed, associated
with the STOP
and ABS warning
lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has
a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS




Anti-lock
Braking
System (ABS)


fi xed. The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without delay.

OPERATING FAULT
LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ACTIVATING
THE ALARM



)
Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door lock.



When the ignition is switched on, fi xed illumination of the indicator lamp
in the button indicates a fault with the system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



FAILURE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL

To deactivate the monitoring functions:



)
unlock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door lock,

)
open the door; the alarm is triggered,

)
switch on the ignition; the alarm stops; the indicator lamp in the
button goes off.




TRIGGERING OF THE ALARM

The monitoring functions remain active until the alarm has been
triggered eleven times in succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, rapid
fl ashing of the indicator lamp in the button informs you that the
alarm was triggered during your absence. When the ignition is
switched on, this fl ashing stops immediately.

This is indicated by sounding of the siren and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for thirty seconds.
2 minutes after closing the last door or the boot, the system is activated
automatically.


)
To avoid triggering the alarm when entering the vehicle, fi rst press
the remote control unlocking button.



AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION *

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTA NCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).


ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
Linked systems which improve the stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on poor or slippery surfaces.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibration of
the brake pedal.

When braking in an emergency, press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on, together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform
to the manufacturer's recommendations.

When braking in an emergency, press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.











EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE

System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking effi ciency.

SAFETY











ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's
shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the
child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fi tted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the
seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat fi rmly on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses
keeping
the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward facing" child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the
vehicle's seat and that the head restraint does not cause any
discomfort.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forward
facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats
are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rear facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to infl ate. As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun,
with the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed…).

An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press RADIO, select Radio Menu then"Waveband" to return to the waveband on which the stations are stored.

The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed…).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of theshort-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in thegeographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks…) block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu if the phenomenon is too frequentand always on the same route.

With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
