Trailer stability assist
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detect oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when To w i n g
a trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball pack).
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked. The trailer stability assist system offers
increased safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on
towing a trailer are observed. It should
not encourage the driver to take risks,
such as towing a trailer in adverse
operating conditions (overloading,
failure to observe the trailer nose
weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, ….)
or drive at
too high a speed.
In certain certain cases, oscillation of
the trailer may not be detected by the
ESC system, particularly with a light
t r a i l e r.
When driving on slippery or poor
sur faces, the system may not be able to
prevent sudden snaking of the trailer.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the
corresponding section. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, ...
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation
of the radar.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in
the vehicle settings menu in the screen.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message. There may be interference in the
operation of the camera or it may not
work at all in the following situations:
-

Trailer stability assist
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h),
if the system detects swaying movements in
the trailer, it acts on the brakes to stabilise the
trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power
to slow down the vehicle.The correction is signalled by the
flashing of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and activation of the
brake lights.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal. The trailer stability assist system
offers increased safety in normal
driving conditions, provided that the
recommendations on towing a trailer are
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver
to take additional risks, such as towing
a trailer in adverse operating conditions
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, etc.) or drive at too
high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden swaying of the trailer.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing a
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.

Safety

17
If the camera and/or radar have
confirmed the presence of a vehicle
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp
flashes once the function is acting on
the vehicle's brakes.
Important: if operation of the
automatic emergency braking is
triggered, you must take back control
of your vehicle and brake with the
pedal to supplement or finish the
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle
at any time by sharply turning the steering
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal. The point at which braking is triggered
may be adjusted according to the reaction
from the driver, such as movement of the
steering wheel or pressing the accelerator
pedal.
Operation of the function may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for 1
to 2 seconds.
With a manual gear box, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
engine may stall.
With an automatic gear box, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until
the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
maintain the brake pedal down to stop the
vehicle from starting off again.Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph
and 53 mph (5km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph
(80km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The CDS must not be deactivated.
All passengers seatbelts must be fastened.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. After an impact, the function automatically
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start-up.
The system can be deactivated or activated via
the vehicle settings menu.Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, etc.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation of
the radar.
Operating fault
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow, etc.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.In the event of a fault with the system,
you are alerted by the tell-tale lighting
up, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
The camera my be disrupted or not work
in the following situations:
- poor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, etc.),
- dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, etc.),
- obstruction of the camera or radar
(mud, frost, snow, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.
