General safety recommendations
Labels are attached in different places of
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
as well as identification information of your
vehicle. 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. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-

T
he fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not listed 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
reserved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshops 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
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a PEUGEOT

dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
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.

Tyre 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.Under-inflation alert
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 worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
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.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done 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, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.

top 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 rely on a simple visual check.
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. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.

Reinitialisation
Without audio systemWith audio systemIt is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
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 under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the system has been
reinitialised with all four tyres inflated to
the correct pressures.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation. F

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 light accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning light
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer provided.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Electronic Stability Programming including the
following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
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. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
coupled with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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 of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely
and regain grip.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.F

P
ress this button, located on
the lower left of the dashboard
(driver's side), until the
corresponding symbol appears
in the instrument panel screen.
The button indicator light comes on.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
This is indicated by this warning light
flashing in the instrument panel.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
