SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATIONDETECTION
System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you fi t a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This system does not avoid the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre The STOP
warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the screen
identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.
)
Repair or change the damaged
wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, to locate the wheel or
wheels which are not detected or to in-
dicate a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel, this is not fi tted with
a sensor.

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 on:
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- repair and assembly procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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, located
in the middle of the dashboard.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the indicator
lamp in the button come on, this in-
dicates that the ASR and ESP sys-
tems are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp
engine, this action also deactivates 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.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
SYSTEMS
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-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.
The anti-slip 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. On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp engine, this action also
reactivates the automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps.

DRIVING
Temporary manual control of gear
changing
You can temporarily take over control
of gear changing using the steering
mounted "+" and "-" control paddles: if
the engine speed allows, the request to
change gear is accepted.
AUTO
and the gear engaged
is displayed in the instrument
panel. When braking or slowing down, the
gearbox changes down automatically
so that the vehicle picks up in the cor-
rect gear.
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will

.
At very low speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, this will only be taken into ac-
count when the vehicle is immobilised.
The Foot on the brake pedal
warning
lamp comes on in the instrument panel
to encourage you to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is re-
quested, the N
indicator lamp will fl ash
and the gearbox will change to neutral
automatically. To engage a gear again,
return the lever to position A
or M
.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits.
It is not necessary to release the accel-
erator during gear changes.
Hill start assist
This function allows temporary immobi-
lisation of your vehicle.
It maintains the pressure of the brakes
briefl y, long enough for you to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It comes into operation if the vehicle is
immobilised by pressing the brake ped-
al and depending on the gradient:
- on an ascending gradient, with
the vehicle stationary, gear lever
in position A
or M
, the vehicle is
held briefl y when the brake pedal is
released,
- on a descending gradient, with the
vehicle stationary, gear lever in
position R
, the vehicle is held briefl y
when the brake pedal is released. The Sport function is deactivated
each time the ignition is switched
off.
