Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs, the
warning light comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The DSC offers improved
safety during normal driving
but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks (late
braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaranteed
on condition that the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Warning light on the instru-
ment panel.
The indicator light comes on.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in mud, immo-
bilised in snow, on unstable ground…),
it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch light and the indicator light
come on: the DSC no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.

When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, apply
the handbrake and select the
P ark position. Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen. It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox automati-
cally selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-func-
tion display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any
damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or
keep within local speed limits.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Operating check
Operation with manual selection of the gears
select position M in the gate,
push the lever to the + sign to
change up a gear and push again
to change up another gear,
pull the lever to the - sign to change
down a gear and pull again to
change down another gear.
You can change from position D (driv-
ing in automatic mode) to position M
(driving in manual mode) at any time.
The auto-adaptive programme
select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the follow-
ing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- t h e p r o fi l e o f t h e r o a d ,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration with-
out touching the lever, press the ac-
celerator down fully (kick down). The
programme will change down auto-
matically or will stay in the gear selected
until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down automati-
c a l l y i n o r d e r t o p r o v i d e e f fi c i e n t e n g i n e
braking.
Sport programme
Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D , the
auto-adaptive programme favours
dynamic driving
Snow programme
This programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Press button once the vehicle
has been started and position D has
been selected, the auto-adaptive
programme adjusts the performance
of the vehicle to the condition of the
slippery road.
You can deactivate the Sport or Snow
programme at any time by pressing
the button selected.
Releasing the accelerator
sharply does not have any im-
mediate effect on the speed of
the vehicle.
Never select position N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to op-
timise braking on a slippery surface.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e l e -
ver is in position P , it will be
impossible to change to an-
other position.
In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may be
damaged.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Cooling system CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Consult the instruc-
tions in the PEUGEOT network, on
the Service Box site or in the servicing
booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
N e v e r fi l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
B = minimum
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Important: if you have to re-

cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT net-
work or on the SERVICE BOX site.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty
the used oil into the containers provid-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.

Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of the servicing schedule.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can oper-
ate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressu-
rised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carry-
ing out any work.

CHANGING A WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
electrical functions can be used for a
maximum duration of approximately
one hour, to prevent discharging of the
battery.
LOAD REDUCTION FUNCTION
When driving, certain functions (air
conditioning, heated rear screen,
heating system for passenger com-
partment of diesel vehicles, etc.) may
be switched off temporarily, depending
on the level of battery charge.
Reactivation of these functions is
automatic, once the battery charge is
s u f fi c i e n t .
Note: at the risk of discharging
the battery, the functions that
have been switched off may be
reactivated manually.
Note: if the telephone is being
used when economy mode
starts, it will still be possible to
fi n i s h t h e c a l l .
A fl a t b a t t e r y p r e v e n t s t h e
engine from starting.
Replacing a blade
Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.
Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To reposition the blades, switch on the
ignition and operate the windscreen
wiper stalk. Once the hour is over, a switching to
economy mode message appears
on the multi-function display and the
active functions are put on standby.
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
approximately double the duration
for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be
b e t w e e n fi v e a n d t h i r t y m i n u t e s .
T h i s t i m e m a y b e s i g n i fi c a n t l y
reduced if the battery charge
is low.
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position
Less than one minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, press the wind-
screen wiper stalk down once
to position the blades at the top
of the windscreen (maintenance
position).
