Lighting control stalk
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.

In good or rainy weather, by day and
night, using the front and rear foglamps is
prohibited. In these situations, the power
of their beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or falling
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front and rear
foglamps as soon as they are no longer
necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated. Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, set
the ring to position "
0" - lighting off, then to
the desired position.
On opening the driver's door, a
temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.

sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a
maximum duration of 30 minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

R
aise the lighting control stalk fully when
turning right. If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20
seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 37 mph (60 km/h).
Three flashes
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
three times.
This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected by
t he sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They may also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to
a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-

T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshop, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-

A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, this indicates a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a
problem with grip or trajectory. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate these systems as soon as the level
of grip permits.
Deactivation of ASR and DSC using the button
F Press this button.
The orange indicator lamp in the button comes
on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Deactivation of ASR using the touch screen
The deactivation is configured in the
Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.

Seat belts
At the front
The front seat belts are fitted with
a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Reactivation of ASR and DSC using the
button

Reactivation of ASR using the touch screen
The reactivation is configured in the
Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a

message.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a
fault with the system.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
