 Switch off the ignition.  Within ten seconds, press the button until the indicator lamp is on continuously.  Get out of the vehicle.
 Press the locking button on the remote control immediately.
The exterior perimeter monitoring alone is activated: the indicator lamp in the button flashes once per second.
Reactivation of the interior volumetric monitoring
Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds. The monitoring functions remain active until the alarm has been triggered eleven times in succession.
 Press the unlocking button on the remote control to deactivate the exterior perimeter monitoring.
 Press the locking button on the remote control to activate all the monitoring functions.
The indicator lamp in the button again flashes once per second.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp in the button informs you that the alarm was triggered during your absence. When the ignition is switched on, this flashing stops immediately.
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.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
 Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key in the driver's door lock.
Malfunction
When the ignition is switched on, fixed illumination of the indicator lamp in the button indicates a malfunction of the system. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
* According to country.
Automatic activation *
2 minutes after the last door or the boot is closed, the system is activated automatically.  To avoid triggering the alarm on entering the vehicle, first press the unlocking button on the remote control.

Safety
A set of the following Electronic Stability systems: - anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - emergency braking assistance, - wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control, - dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and provides improved control in corners, in particular 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-slip 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.

Safety
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
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 vibrations of the brake pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
