approximately 5 litres of fuel in the
tank. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
th

is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 35 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
these systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e 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 according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
this system optimises traction in order to limit
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, this system 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.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution
(
eB
FD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Operation
Illimination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS system, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot

dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
Activation of the DSC system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Activation of the
t
R
C system is
signalled by the flashing of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
Drive carefully at reduced speed, and contact a
