perfectly normal, is caused by the 
sealing of the fuel system.

Low fuel level 
   
Filling 
 
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap 
reminds you of the type of fuel to be 
used according to your engine. 
  More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel 
gauge.    
Operating fault 
 
A fuel gauge malfunction is indicated by 
the return of the fuel gauge needle to 
zero. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.    When the low fuel level is 
reached, this warning lamp 
comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an 
  audible signal and a message on the 
multifunction screen. When it fi rst comes 
on, you have  approximately 6 litres 
 of 
fuel remaining. 
  Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this 
warning lamp comes on every time the 
ignition is switched on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a message. 
Depending on version, this audible sig-
nal and message are repeated with in-
creasing frequency as the level drops 
towards  "0" 
. 
  Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel. 
  If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also 
to the "Checks" section.

SAFETY
  The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving, 
but this should not encourage the 
driver to take extra risks or drive at 
high speed. 
  The correct functioning of these 
systems depends on observation 
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, 
the electronic components and the 
repair and assembly procedures 
used by PEUGEOT dealers. 
  After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
 
   
 
Deactivation 
  In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in 
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP 
systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.    
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button, locat-
ed in the centre of the dashboard.  
   If this warning lamp comes on on 
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp on the button comes 
on, this indicates that the ASR and 
ESP systems are deactivated. 
  On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 
200 hp engine, this action also deactivates 
emergency brake assistance and the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.  
   
Reactivation 
  These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched 
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except 
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp pet-
rol engine). 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button again 
to reactivate them manually.  
  On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 THP 
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates emergency brake assistance and 
the automatic operation of hazard warn-
ing lamps.     
Operating fault 
   
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a 
malfunction of these systems. 
  Have the systems checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
TRAJECTORY CONTROLSYSTEMS 
   
Activation 
  These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
  They come into operation in the event 
of a grip or trajectory problem. 
   
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and 
electronic stability programme 
(ESP) 
  This is indicated by fl ashing  of 
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel.  
     
The anti-skid regulation (also known as 
Traction Control) optimises traction to 
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels 
and on the engine. 
  The electronic stability programme acts 
on the brake of one or more wheels and 
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 
trajectory required by the driver, within 
the limits of the laws of physics.
