Reinitialising the
motorised tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
connecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F
O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related
to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. -

Driving position
Adopting a good driving position helps improve
your comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility
as well as access to controls.
Sitting comfortably
Whether or not your vehicle has certain seat
adjustments described in this section depends
on the trim level and country of sale.
Driver's side
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats
only when the vehicle is stationary.If your vehicle has electric seats, the
ignition must be on to adjust them.
Passenger's side
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.The cushion height should be set so your eyes
are looking at the centre of the windscreen.
The head room should be at least 4
in (10 cm).
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
you can fully press the pedals with legs slightly
flexed.
The knee room should be at least 4 in
(10 cm) from the dashboard for access to the
dashboard controls.
Adjust the backrest angle to as vertical a
position as possible; never tilt it more than 25°.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge
is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of your spine.
Adjust the steering wheel so that it is at least
10 in (25 cm) from your sternum and your arms
are slightly bent.
The steering wheel should not hide the
instrument panel. Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat
so that you are at a distance of at least 10 in
(25 cm) from the dashboard.

Before moving off
Adjust the interior and exterior door mirrors to
reduce blind spots.Ensure that all passengers have fastened their
seat belts correctly.
If your vehicle has electric door mirrors,
the ignition must be on to adjust them.
When driving
Fasten your seat belt: place the diagonal belt in
the middle of your shoulder and adjust the lap
belt so that it is tightened across your pelvis. Maintain a good driving position and hold the
steering wheel with both hands at the quarter
to three position, so that you can easily and
quickly reach the controls behind and near the
steering wheel. Never adjust the seats or steering wheel
when driving.
Always keep your feet on the floor.

USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as an iPod®-type digital
audio player, or a USB memory stick.
The USB reader reads your audio files which
are then transferred to the audio system and
played via the vehicle's loudspeakers.
These files are managed via the steering wheel
controls or from the audio system. When connected to the USB port,
the portable device can be charged
automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the portable
device exceeds the amperage supplied
by the vehicle.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
-

t
railer stability assist (TSA).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
linked with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
For technical reasons and, in particular,
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices ser vices to
customers, the manufacturer reserves the
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system.
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
