en it first comes on there remains
approximately 7 litresof fuel in the
tank.
At this point, you begin to use the fuel reserve.Re
fuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of
fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a sufficient addition of fuel is
made.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injectionsystems.

Driving

Six speed automatic gearbox which offers a choice between the comfor t of fully automatic
operation, enhanced by spor t and snow
programmes, or manual gear changing.
Four driving modes are offered:-automatic
operation for electronic management of the gears by the gearbox,
-
sport
programme for a more dynamic style
of driving,

- snowprogramme to improve driving when
traction is poor,

- manua
loperation for sequential changing
of the gears by the driver.

Safety
Electronic Stability Programme (ESC: Electronic Stability Control) incorporating the
following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).











Electronic stability programme (ESC)


Definitions


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and provides improved control in corners, in
par ticular on poor or slippery road surfaces.
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 stoppingdistance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is
felt by areduction 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 drivingwheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle onacceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the pathfollowed by the vehicle and that required bythe 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 re
quired path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

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 surface adhesion thatcould make it difficult to move off or makeprogress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Controllimits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud…), it can be useful to temporarilydeactivate the dynamic stability control andwheel anti-slip
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow t
yres are strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very 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 makeitself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g 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 whenbraking.

When this warnin
g lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (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.
