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
trajectory 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 order to put the vehicle
back on course.The warning light flashes
if the ASR or ESP is acti-
vated. Disarming the ESP/ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR and ESP systems to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.
F
Press switch "1", situated under
the steering wheel on the right of
the fascia.
They engage again:
F automatically above 20 mph
(30 km/h),
F manually by pressing switch 1
again. The indicator light comes
on, accompanied by the
message
"ESP/ASR de-
activated" : the ESP and
ASR systems no longer act
on the engine operation but remain
active on the brakes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indica-
tor light comes on accom-
panied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/
ASR not functioning" on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems
offer increased safety during
normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of the systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding the
wheels (tyres and wheel rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly
and repair procedures within the
PEUGEOT network are observed.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control function allows
you to choose and maintain a con-
stant vehicle speed, called the "cruis-
ing speed", irrespective of the proile
of the road and without any action on
the part of the driver on the accelera-
tor pedal or the brake pedal.
The "cruising speed" is chosen by
the driver and must comply with the
highway regulations in use at local
and national level.
The cruise control function must not
be used on slippery roads or in heavy
trafic.
First activation
F Place the dial 1 in the "On" posi-
tion to access the cruise control
function.
F Position the speedometer needle
at the speed required.
F Press button 2 "set-" or 3 "set+" to
activate the cruise control.
At this moment, the vehicle speed
is maintained without any interven-
tion on your part. It is stored as the
cruising speed and the indicator light
is displayed.
Warning: the vehicle speed must
be above 25 mph (40 km/h) in or-
der to be able to activate the cruise
control.
On a vehicle itted with a manual
gearbox, it is also necessary to be in
at least fourth gear.
On a vehicle itted with an automatic
gearbox, it is necessary to be either
in position D, or in selective driving
mode in a gear higher than or equal
to position 2.
Adjust your selection
When the cruise control is activated,
pressing button 3 "set+" increases
the cruising speed displayed on the
instrument panel.
Pressing button 2 "set-" reduces the
cruising speed displayed on the in-
strument panel.
Short press: +/- 1 mph (1 km/h)
Long press: +/- 5 mph (5 km/h)
Maintained press: continuous in-
creasing or decreasing of the value
in steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).
The vehicle gradually reaches the
new cruising speed displayed on the
instrument panel.
You can drive faster than the cruising
speed at any time by pressing the
accelerator pedal. This does not de-
activate the cruise control. When you
release the accelerator pedal, the ve-
hicle returns to the cruising speed.
Pressing button 3 "set+" or 2 "set-"
while you are driving faster than the
cruising speed stores the current
speed as a new cruising speed.

Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ive centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre, but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
comes close to it.
Note: this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is itted (vehicle itted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.
If there is an operating fault,
the audible signal will be a
short bleep followed by a
long bleep when changing
to reverse gear.

It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed
and engine speed permit. If they do
not, the vehicle will operate tempo-
rarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox au-
tomatically selects gear
M1.
The
T (snow) program does not op-
erate in manual mode.
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message "Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function dis-
play and flashing of the Snow warn-
ing light on the instrument panel.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R
and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
keeping within the limit of local speed
restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed
to maximise the safety of the oc-
cupants in the event of serious col-
lisions. They work in conjunction
with the force-limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags delate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in
the case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is
suficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to

Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling. FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is disarmed.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes-
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
