Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the switching on of one of the following warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the switching on of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message on
the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Warning lamp is on Cause Action/Observations

STOP fi xed,
associated
with another
warning lamp. It is associated with the
braking, the engine oil pressure
or the coolant temperature.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Braking fi xed.
The braking system fl uid level
has dropped signifi cantly. Top up with brake fl uid recommended by
PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
+
fi xed, associated with the ABS
warning lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has
a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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 without delay.


Dynamic
stability control
(ESP/ASR) fl ashing.
The ESP/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and improves
the directional stability of the vehicle.
fi xed. Unless it has been deactivated
with the indicator lamp on
the button on, the ESP/ASR
system is faulty. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, located
on the left below the steering wheel.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator lamp on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
