The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when switching on (ON position).
If it does not go out or come on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Moving vehicle If this warning lamp remains on
constantly, it indicates an anti-lock
braking system malfunction that
could cause control of the vehicle to
be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If both these warning lamps come
on, they indicate a malfunction in the
electronic brake force distribution
that could cause control of the
vehicle to be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they comply with manufacturer
recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency. In emergency braking, press very firmly
and maintain this pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of
the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory. 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, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can regain grip.
F

P
ress this button until the corresponding
symbol appears in the instrument panel.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and DSC systems are
deactivated.

Safety

Rear compartment
Coolant level
The level of this fluid must be
between the "L" (MIN) and "F"
(MA X) marks.
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at
least one hour after switching off the motor
before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, unscrew the cap by
two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Changing the fluid
This fluid does not need to be changed.
Checks
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment
(e.g. dusty atmosphere) and the
use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving),
replace it twice as often if
necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Ancillaries battery electrolyte
level
To check this level, you must remove the
battery cover.
For more information on the ancillaries
battery , refer to the corresponding section.
The level of this fluid must be between the
"LOWER LEVEL" (MIN) and "UPPER LEVEL"
(MA X) marks.
If necessary, top up with distilled water by
removing the plugs from the battery’s different
compartments.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
a month. Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Other wise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Practical information

87
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing front or rear
wiper blades
F Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
F T ake off the wiper blade by sliding it to the
outside.
Fitting front or rear wipers
F Put the new wiper blade in place and secure it.
F

C
arefully lower the wiper arm.
Washing precautions
Never wash the vehicle while the battery
is on charge.
Before washing the vehicle, check that
the access flaps and the charging socket
covers (normal and fast) are closed
properly.
In order to avoid damaging the electric
units, the use of a high pressure jet wash
is strictly forbidden:
-

u
nder the bonnet,
-

u
nder the chassis.
Do not use a pressure greater than
80
bars when washing the bodywork.
