EXTERIOR
Grip control
This special traction control system im-
proves the traction of 2 wheel drive ve-
hicles in snow, mud and sand.
Welcome lighting
This additional exterior and interior light-
ing, controlled remotely, makes your ap-
proach to the vehicle easier when the
light is poor.
89
Directional lighting
This lighting automatically provides addi-
tional visibility when cornering.
92
Panoramic sunroof
This roof provides incomparable visibility
and light in the passenger compartment.

Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporar-
ily into standby during stops in the traf-
fi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc....). The
engine restarts automatically as soon as
you want to move off. The Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, ex-
haust emissions and provides the com-
fort of complete silence when stationary.

fi xed. The emission control system
has a fault. The warning lamp should go off when the
engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Low fuel
level
fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
6 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time
the ignition is switched on, until a suffi cient
addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out
of fuel, as this could damage the emission
control and injection systems.
Maximum
coolant
temperature
fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down
before topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.

workshop.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion 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 re-
quired 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.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure 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 effec-
tiveness of the braking.
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 slip-
pery 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.
When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes
on, coupled with the STOP
warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage, it indicates that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force dis-
tribution (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 qualifi ed workshop.
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.
In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure.

Electronic Stability Programme (ESC:
Electronic Stability Control) incorporat-
ing the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or
traction control,
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
