The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
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 or-
der to put the vehicle back on course,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The warning light fl ashes
when the ASR or ESP is ac-
tivated. Disarming
Reactivation:

 Automatic if the ignition is switched
off.

 Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Manual by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light fl ashes and the warn-
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components and the electronic
components, as well as the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the ignition is on, the
ASR and ESP systems are
always activated. Operating check
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be ad-
visable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated under the steering wheel to
the right.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction (speed greater
than 15 mph [25 km/h]). Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction
display, indicates that under-in-
fl ation detection is absent from
one (or several) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
Pressure check
With the ignition on and after
the engine oil level, this warn-
ing light comes on to indicate
that the system is measuring
the pressure of the tyres.
Pressure OK This warning light comes on
if all of the tyre pressure val-
ues measured are correct.
If one of the warning lights
described below appears,
refer to the corresponding paragraph.
If none of the lights appear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked. Under-infl ated tyre
This warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, locat-
ing the defl ated tyre.
Have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display locating the
punctured tyre, is followed
by illumination of the STOP-
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very defl ated) tyre, and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
This system does not remove the ne-
cessity for having the tyre pressure
(including that of the spare wheel)
checked regularly, to ensure optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
and to prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in the case of ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be disturbed
by radio broadcasts on a frequency close
to it.

Note: if the damaged tyre is
temporarily stored in the boot,
it will again emit this message
to remind you of the necessity
of having it repaired. This will prevent
another warning of the same type be-
ing displayed.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
tyres is away from the vehi-
cle (being repaired) or when a
wheel without a sensor is fi tted.

position. The cruise control is not
yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates: Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:

 Press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or LIMIT
to switch the system off.
First activation/memorising a
speed
As soon as you reach the cho-
sen speed, press button "set-" 2 or
"set+" 3 . This memorises the speed,
which will be maintained automatically.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):

Note: It is possible to acce-
lerate and drive momentarily
at a speed greater than the
memorised speed. The value
memorised fl ashes. When the accele-
rator pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the memorised speed.
Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the
manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control, which does not act on
the brakes, will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from excee-
ding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any circums-
tances, replace the need to comply with
speed limits or the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to keep your feet near
the pedals at all times.
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the driver.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth
gear engaged for vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox.
On vehicles fi tted with an automatic
gearbox, the lever must be in position D
or at least second gear must be enga-
ged in sequential driving mode.

Memorising a speed
A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
A brief press on buttons 2 and 3 de-
creases or increases by 1 mph (1 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-
creases the memorised speed progres-
sively in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

CRUISE or switch off the ignition
to switch the system off. The last
speed programmed remains in the
memory. Activation/deactivation of the
limiter
The activation is taken into account,
when the vehicle is moving, when the
vehicle speed is at least 5 mph (5 km/h)
below the stored speed.
Pressing button
4 activates the limiter,
pressing this button again deactivates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Exceeding the programmed speed
In exceptional situations, this method
can be used to exceed the program-
med speed.
Pressing the accelerator to exceed the
programmed speed will have no effect
unless the pedal is pressed fi rmly to
the end of its travel (passing the point
of resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the speed which fl ashes
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): To re-activate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the
dashes fl ash for a few seconds:
To prevent the mat from beco-
ming caught under the pedals: - ensure that the mat is po- sitioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Selecting the function

 Place switch 1 in the LIMIT posi-
tion. The limiter is not yet active.
By default the display indicates:
Note: sometimes (on a steep
descent), the limiter may not
prevent the vehicle from ex-
ceeding the programmed
speed, this speed fl ashes.
On a steep descent or if you
accelerate sharply, the speed
limiter, which does not act on
the brakes, will not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to com-
ply with speed limits or the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
which have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle and
that you entrust the fi tting of the towbar to
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased. Automatic adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system automatical-
ly corrects the height of the beam of
xenon bulbs in relation to the vehicle
load after approximately 2 minutes.
The driver is then assured of having
optimum lighting.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Lighting

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver's side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
In the case of vehicles fi tted with an
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the
ignition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
