Front courtesy lamps
Take care to avoid leaving anything in
contact with the courtesy lamps.
With the "permanent lighting" mode,
the lighting time varies according to the
circumstances:
- with the ignition off, approximately
ten minutes,
- in energy economy mode,
approximately thirty seconds,
- with the engine running, unlimited.
- when the vehicle is unlocked,

reading lamps so as to not disturb sleeping
rear passengers, for example. However, the
rear passengers can force the illumination of

Safety
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and offers improved control, in particular on
poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is star ted.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate it manually.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button.
This warning lamp and the indicator
lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
