presence of pedestrians and animals in the
driver’s field of vision, in low exterior light
conditions.
For the permanent display of the image from
the infrared camera in the instrument panel,
select the "Night Vision" display mode by
turning the knob located to the left of the
steering wheel. Once the conditions are met,
an alert is triggered when there is a risk of
collision. Night Vision is a driving aid system that
cannot, under any circumstances, replace
the personal assessment of night-time
visibility and traffic conditions.
In some conditions, the contrasts in
temperature are insufficient and the
system may not detect all dangers or,
conversely, it may give false warnings
(e.g. engines of lorries parked on the edge
of the road).
Conditions for operation
With the dipped or main beam headlamps on,
this function allows headlamps to illuminate
the inside of a bend using light-emitting diodes
(LEDs).
The speed of the vehicle must be less than 56
mph (90 km/h).
This function is only available with the "Full
LED" technology headlamps. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window displayed in the instrument
panel.
The function is available with the engine
running and in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
The light conditions must be very poor. The
dipped beam headlamps must be switched on
and maintained in good working order.
The temperature detection range is between
-30°C and +30°C.
The speed of the vehicle must be less than
99
mph (160 km/h).
The camera detection range is between 15

or temperature) are not met, the
indicator lamp comes on in orange:
only the display in the instrument
panel is available (in "Night Vision"
m o d e).
Whilst the exterior light is too bright
or the dipped beam headlamps have
not been switched on, the alerts are
not available. The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects.
Once pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
Once the system detects a risk
of collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: one of
these symbols is displayed in the
instrument panel. The respective
silhouette is framed in red. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a

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.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
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.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
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).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
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, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
5
Safety

102
Deactivation is done via the Driving/
Vehicle menu of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by the illumination of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31 mph (50
km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
Activation is done via the Driving/
Vehicle menu of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by this warning lamp
in the instrument panel going out and
the display of a message.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
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 control (ESC) must not
have any faults.
If the system detects oscillations (snaking) in
the movement of the trailer at speeds between
37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), it acts
on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if
necessary, reduces the engine power to slow
down the vehicle. The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a Towing device , refer to the corresponding
section.
Safety

103
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 obser ved. It should not
encourage the driver to take 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, snaking 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 snaking of the trailer.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact,
the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.

corresponding warning lamp ( 4 to 6) lights
up for around 30 seconds.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The
seat belt is stowed automatically
when not in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
