Advice
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

F With the ignition on and the vehicle stationary, press this
button for about 3 seconds then
release it, an audible signal
confirms the reinitialisation.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing
snow chains.
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
Operating fault
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Reinitialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
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 improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
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)
This 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, 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.
