The flashing and then fixed illumination of the under-inflation warning lamp accompanied by the illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a fault with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fitted with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres , the symbol or the message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment), or if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold, or if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired or replaced. The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.

Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Definitions
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.
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-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.
Electronic Stability Programme (ESC: Electronic Stability Control) 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).

Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started. As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.
Operation
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (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 qualified workshop.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.

Safety

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Press this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually: Press this button again.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR 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 the DSC and ASR systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions. The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers. To benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fitted with four snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on the road.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

The electric parking brake combines 2 operational modes: - Automatic application/release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (activated by default), - Manual application/release The parking brake can be applied /
released manually by pulling control lever A .
Electric parking brake
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.
Activation / deactivation of this function is possible by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Deactivation is recommended in particularly cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Refer to the "Manual release" paragraph.
Do not place any object (packet of cigarettes, telephone, ...) behind the electric brake control.

Driving
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pull on the control lever A . Application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- illumination of the braking warning lamp and of the warning lamp P in the control lever A ,
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, a beep is heard and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied, unless the selector lever is in position P
(Park) in the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release the parking brake, press on the brakepedal or the accelerator, pull then release the control lever A . Full application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- the braking warning lamp and of the warning lamp P in the the control lever A going off,
If you pull the control lever A without pressing the brake pedal, the parking brake will not be released and a warning lamp will come on in the instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum application of the parking brake. It is obtained by means of a long pull on the control lever A , until you see the message "Handbrake on" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential: - in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic functions are activated but you are applying the parking brake manually, - when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
- display of the message "Handbrake on". - display of the message "Handbrake off ".
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel is on, not flashing.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient, make a maximum application of the parking brake then turn the front wheels towards the pavement and engage a gear when you park. After a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
