Safety

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)). The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.  Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control . This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control, even without snow tyres and with or without chains. In extremely severe conditions (snow on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y firmly without releasing the pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
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.
