Safety
Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when one or
more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to "Identification
markings") to ensure that the optimum
dynamic per formance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember to
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electromagnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the instrument
panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the
brakes.
)
Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: Intelligent Traction Control
.
This automatic system continuously checks
for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that
could make it difficult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide
the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow on top
of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
ver y 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.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)
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 per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
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.
)
To 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.
)
If 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.
Ty r e s
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
