Triggering of the alarm
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and flashing of the direction indicators for thirty seconds. The monitoring functions remain active until the alarm has been triggered eleven times in succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote control or the Keyless Entry and starting system, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp in the button informs you that the alarm was triggered during your absence. When the ignition is switched on, this flashing stops immediately.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:  Unlock the vehicle using the key (integral with the remote control) in the driver's door lock.  Open the door; the alarm is triggered.  Switch on the ignition; the alarm stops. The
indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
 Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key (integral with the remote control) in the driver's door lock.
Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, fixed illumination of the indicator lamp in the button indicates a fault in the system. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic activation
This function is either not available, an option or is standard. 2 minutes after the last door or the boot is closed, the system is activated automatically.  To avoid triggering the alarm on entering the vehicle, first press the unlocking button on the remote control or unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry and Starting system.

Switching off
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
 Press this button, its indicator lamp comes on.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer, - increase the effectiveness of the demisting in winter, above 3°C.
 Press this button again, its indicator lamp goes off.
Air distribution adjustment
These buttons are used to arrange the distribution of air in the passenger compartment by combining several air outlets.
Windscreen.
The air distribution can be adapted by using several buttons: illumination of the indicator lamp confirms the presence of fan boosted air in the direction indicated, the indicator lamp off indicates the absence of fan boosted air in the direction indicated. For a uniform distribution of air in the passenger compartment, the three buttons can be activated simultaneously.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
Switching off may result in some discomfort (humidity, misting).
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can use
interior air recirculation for a few moments. Then return to the intake of exterior air.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuous pull on the control lever will brake the vehicle. Braking takes place while the control lever is being pulled. It is interrupted if the control lever is released. The ABS and DSC systems provide stability of the vehicle during emergency braking. If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message "Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
The emergency braking should only be used in an exceptional situation.
Repeat this procedure to reactivate automatic operation. Reactivation of automatic operation is confirmed by the indicator lamp in the instrument panel going off.
Deactivating automatic operation
In some situations, such as very cold weather or towing (caravan, recovery), it may be necessary to deactivate automatic operation of the system.  Start the engine.  Apply the parking brake with the control
lever, if it is released.  Take your foot off the brake pedal.  Push and hold the control lever in the release direction for at least 10 seconds and no more than 15 seconds.  Release the control lever.  Press and hold the brake pedal.  Pull the control lever in the apply direction for 2 seconds.
Deactivation of the automatic functions is confirmed by illumination of this indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
 Release the control lever and the brake pedal.
From this point the parking brake can only be applied and released manually using the control lever.
If a failure of the ABS and DSC systems, signalled by the illumination of one or both warning lamps in the instrument panel, then stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed. In this event, stability must be assured by the driver by repeating alternate “pull-release” actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised.

When the active cruise control is automatically paused, it can only be reactivated when safe conditions are restored. The message "Activation not possible, conditions unsuitable" is displayed while reactivation is not possible. When the conditions allow, it is recommended that the function be reactivated by pressing button 2 (SET+) or 3 (SET-), which will make the current speed of your vehicle the new cruise speed setting, rather than by pressing button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates the cruise control using the old cruise speed setting, which may be very different from the current speed of your vehicle.
SymbolDisplay in the instrument panelAssociated messageComments
"SPEED ADJUSTED" Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's cruise speed setting. The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h)) and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-vehicle time. When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than the "adjusted speed" displayed.
"Cruise control paused". If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane, reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused. The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.  Press this button, the direction indicators flash. They can operate with the ignition off.
 Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.
When braking in an emergency, depending on the rate of deceleration, as well as when the ABS regulation is invoked or in the event of an impact, the hazard warning lamps come on automatically. They switch off automatically the first time you accelerate.  You can also switch them off by pressing the button.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems: - the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - the emergency braking assistance, - the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control, - the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
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 slippery road sur faces. 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 according 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)
The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit 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, 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.
