Electronic stability control (ESC) integrating the
following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),

Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD) manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
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.
Safety

Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery sur faces
(snow, ice, mud, etc.)
This system checks for situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system, by
transferring drive to the wheel with the best grip
on the ground to provide the best traction and
trajectory control.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
F
Press this button to switch the system on; the warning lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 19
mph (30 km/h).
Once the speed exceeds 19
mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but the
warning lamp in the button stays on. The system is reactivated automatically as soon as
the speed drops below 19
mph (30 km/h).
Deactivation
F Press this button to deactivate the system;
the warning lamp in the button goes off and
the ASR system is active again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the intelligent
t raction control, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
The true total weight of a

commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a

result, the centre of gravity of the
vehicle can move, both longitudinally and in
height. Load inertia control estimates the true total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour
under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution in the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more securely
on its intended trajectory.
Hill Descent Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on sur faces with poor grip (mud,
gravel, etc.) or on a
steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a
steady speed during
a


descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The driver's seat is fitted with a pyrotechnic
p retensioner and a force limiter.
On models with a
passenger's front airbag,
the passenger's seat is also fitted with
a
pyrotechnic pretensioner and a force limiter.
The front bench seat is fitted with two seat
belts.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
F

A
t a speed below 19 mph (30 km/h) press this
button to activate the system; the indicator
lamp in the button comes on.
Once the vehicle starts its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
indicator lamp in the button flashes.
The brake lamps come on automatically when the
system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 19
mph
(30
km/h), the system is automatically deactivated,
but the indicator lamp in the button stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as soon
as the speed of the vehicle drops below 19
mph
(30


km/h).You can depress the accelerator or brake
pedal again at any time. For the system to activate, the slope must
be greater than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox
in neutral.
Engage an appropriate gear for the speed
of the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
Deactivation
F Press this button to switch off the system;
the indicator lamp in the button goes out.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), the function is
completely deactivated; the indicator lamp in
the button goes off.
The system may not be available if the
brakes overheat. Wait a
few minutes for
them to cool down before trying again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the hill descent
c ontrol system, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
If you install a
front bench seat as an
accessory, it must be fitted with approved
seat belts.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp
beam height adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully;
in case of loss, inter vention by the
PEUGEOT dealer will be more efficient
and quicker if you present this number and
the confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37

mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000

rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Practical information

131
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Diesel fuel filter
The Diesel fuel filter is located under the
bonnet, close to the brake fluid reser voir. If this warning lamp comes on, the
filter must be purged to remove
water.
You can also purge the fuel filter
regularly, every time the engine oil
is changed.
Purging water from the filterThe HDi engines use advanced technology.
All work must be done by personnel that
have had special training, which can be
ensured by going to a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
