Four wheel drive system
System which permits the selection of a transmission mode in relation to the driving conditions.three transmission modes are available and can be selected manually by the driver in accordance with his requirements.
You can change transmission mode when
stationary or while driving.
th

e transmission mode can be selected by
turning the control A .
Selecting the transmission
mode
4WD AUTO (position 1)
the vehicle operates with four wheel drive and
provides optimum traction for all levels of grip.
th

is is the vehicle's normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the torque
between the front and rear axles is controlled
automatically.
th

e distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels is
managed electronically by the control unit
in relation to the level of grip, so providing
optimum road holding.
4WD LOCK (position 2)
the vehicle operates with four wheel drive in
this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
poor or difficult (sand, mud, slopes, ...).
2WD (position 3)
the vehicle operates with front two wheel drive.th is is suitable for use on a tarmac roads or
where the driver considers that there is no risk
of loss of grip (dry road).
Display in the instrument panel
the transmission mode is displayed in the
form of an intermittent display in the instrument
panel screen when the transmission mode is
selected.
th
e selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of grip
permits.
Driving

119
4008_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2014
As the engine torque is applied to all
four wheels, the condition of the tyres
has a considerable impact on the
performance of the vehicle.
en
sure that all four tyres are in good
condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy or
muddy areas or in other areas in which
the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a serious
malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through deep
water.
Avoid driving over excessively uneven
terrain (risk of scraping under the body
or of grounding on crossing a bridge).
Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode display
flashes, the vehicle switches automatically to
front "2WD" transmission mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is displayed on
the instrument panel, let the transmission cool
down then wait for the display to clear before
setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alternately
and if "S
eR

VIC
e

" is displayed in
the instrument panel, the system has failed and
the safety system has been activated.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. Have your vehicle towed on a
flatbed.
th

e vehicle must not be towed with the
front or rear wheels on the ground even
if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel drive)
mode.If the replacement of a tyre is
necessary on 4-wheel drive versions,
it is recommended that all four tyres be
replaced at the same time, ensuring
that the same make, model and size is
used on all wheels.
th

is is because using tyres of different
sizes, structure or rate of wear could
damage transmission components.

Associated systems which guarantee the directional stability of the vehicle within the limits of the laws of physics:
- t raction control (tC L),
-

a
ctive stability control (ASC).
Traction control and active stability control
traction control optimises traction to prevent
wheel spin, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
Active 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.Activation
these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
th

e illumination of this warning lamp
in the instrument panel indicates
that the ASC and
t
C
L systems are
deactivated.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
th

is is indicated by flashing of this
symbol on the instrument panel
screen.
trajectory control systems
F Press this button, located to the left of the steering wheel, until the symbol appears in
the instrument panel screen.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. t
h
e airbags
supplement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
th

is equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
th

is smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
th

e noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
the airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
th

e front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their forward movement. System which contributes toward improving
protection for the head and chest of the driver
and front passenger in the event of a front
impact.
th
e driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). t
h
is could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a P

milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Knee airbag*
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the
steering wheel than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.

dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Lateral airbags

is could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
* According to country.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. th is
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
