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 make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning 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 when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.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 observation 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 screen, this
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
F

P
ress the button or, depending
on version, turn the knob to this
position.
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h). The indicator lamp in the button or the knob
comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.
F

P
ress the button again to
reactivate it manually.

Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance
system that aims to avoid a frontal collision
or reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
does not react sufficiently (inadequate brake
application).
This system is designed to improve driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles.
Active City Brake can in no circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Never look at the laser sensor through
an optical instrument (magnifying glass,
microscope...) at a distance of less than
10 centimetres: risk of eye injury.Automatic braking occurs later than if
done by the driver, so as to intervene
only when there is a high risk of
collision.
Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects a vehicle
running in the same direction or stationary
ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary, the vehicle's braking system
is operated automatically to avoid a collision
with the vehicle ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following
conditions are met:
●

i
gnition on,
●

t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●

s
peed is between about 3 and 18 mph
(5 and 30 km/h),
●

t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
EBFD, emergency braking assistance) are
not faulty,
●

t
he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC)
are not deactivated or faulty,
●

t
he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●

t
he system has not been triggered during
the previous 10 seconds.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
The collision can be avoided automatically if the
difference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do what
is possible to avoid or reduce the accident by
lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking may bring the vehicle to
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary
temporarily (for about 1.5 seconds) to allow
the driver to take back control by pressing the
brake pedal. You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come on to
warn other road users.After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service: it no
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
made operational again. During automatic braking, the driver
can always obtain a higher rate of
deceleration than that controlled by the
system, by pressing firmly on the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may cause
the engine to stall, unless the driver
depresses the clutch pedal quickly
enough during automatic braking.

F Place the foot of the jack 2 on the ground and ensure that it is directly below the
front
A or rear B jacking point provided on
the underbody, whichever is closest to the
wheel to be changed.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake.
Switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox, engage first
gear to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the
gear selector at position R to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the
gear selector at position P to block the
wheels.
Check that the parking brake warning
lamps in the instrument panel come on.
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.

chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
