Recommendations for
approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most pur
poses.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depen
ding on the temperatures at which
the oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use synthetic
oils of `superior quality'.
In the absence of semisynthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qua
lity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the 'Arduous
Conditions' servicing schedule, which
specifies shorter service intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a Peugeot dealer to maintain
driving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.
For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

INSTRUMENT PANEL DIALS: AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force
distribution warning light.
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remai ns on even with the
handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Antilock braking system (ABS) warning light
This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched o n.
If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfun ction of the
ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servoassisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the
particulate emission
filter warning light
(diesel engine)
Display of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The flashing of this light while the
engine is running is caused either by
the particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine running
too long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil
ter clogging if the same conditions of
operation are maintained.
As soon as possible, drive for at
least three minutes at a speed
exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if dri
ving conditions allow this.
If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light co
mes on.

operation indicator
light
This flashes when the system is
operating.
It is lit continuously if disarmed or if
there is a fault.

29-07-2002
The ESPsystem offers
increased safety during
normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to take
risks or to drive at high speed.
The operation of the system is
assured to the extent to which the
recommendations of the manufac
turer regarding the wheels (tyres
and wheel rims), the braking com
ponents, the electronic compo
nents and the assembly and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are respected.
After an accident or impact, have
the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
DRIVING YOUR 406
150
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys
tems is operating, this light
flashes. Handbrake
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.
W
arning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave
ment and apply the handbrake.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Disarming the ESP / ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR system to make the wheels
spin and regain grip. 
Press the switch "ESP OFF", sit
uated to the left of the steering
wheel.
The switch lights up and the indicator
lights come on, accompanied by the
message '' ASR/ESP deactivated''
on the multifunction display: the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
affect the operation of the engine or
the brakes.
They engage again: automatically when the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switch
again.
Operating check When a system malfunction
occurs, the switch light
flashes and the indicator
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
check the system.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to
maintain a steady speed pro
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the accel
erator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and
fourth or fifth gear must be engaged.
Operation Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can be memorised. Place switch 1 in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note: It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the
cruise control. Cancelling the memorised
speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed: 
Press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:  press button 2;
 release it when you have reached
the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control  place switch 1in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
DRIVING YOUR 406 149
Do not use cruise control
on slippery roads or in
heavy traffic. THE ABS
ANTILOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
The antilock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. The normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
