Safety
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the DSC
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic
Stability Control) integrating the following
systems:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),– emergency braking assistance (EBA),– wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,– dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and handling
of your vehicle when braking and contributes
towards improved control on bends, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
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 depressed. 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.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the
DSC 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in an instrument panel screen, it
indicates a fault with the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
system which could result in 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.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking distances. On very slippery
surfaces (ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may extend
braking distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal very hard and do not
release it, even on a slipper surface; you
will then be able to continue steering the
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Safety
5Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the DSC
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
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 as soon as the level of
grip permits.


ASR

► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the function.
The illumination of the button indicator lamp,
accompanied by a message on the instrument
panel display screen, indicates that the ASR
system is deactivated.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the ASR
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 observation 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.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
Intelligent Traction Control
Traction assistance system on roads with low
grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.).
This system makes it possible to detect the
situations of precarious grip which can make the
starting and the progress of the vehicle difficult.
In these situations, the Intelligent Traction
Control system overrides the ASR system by
transferring the driving force to the wheel with
the greatest contact with the ground to optimise
traction and trajectory tracking.

54
Safety
Engage a gear corresponding to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
► To manually deactivate the system, press the button; the indicator lamp goes out.
The function may be unavailable if the
brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes for
them to cool down before trying again.
Malfunction
When a malfunction of the Hill Assist Descent Control system occurs, this warning lamp lights up.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Activation/Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.



► Press this button to activate/deactivate the system.
When the button indicator lamp comes on, the
system is activated.
This system is active up to approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Above approximately 19 mph (30 km/h), the
system is automatically deactivated but the
button indicator lamp remains on.
The system is automatically reactivated as soon
as the speed returns below approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Malfunction
When a malfunction of the intelligent
traction control system occurs, this
warning lamp lights up.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
The actual total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on its load.
The centre of gravity of the vehicle can therefore
move in the longitudinal direction and even in
height.
Each of these variations has repercussions
on braking, traction, cornering behaviour and
overturning.
The load inertia control estimates the actual total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour,
during acceleration and braking phases.
This system then adapts the intervention of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution of the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more safely on its
trajectory.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Descent assistance system on roads with low
grip (mud, gravel, etc.) or with a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of the vehicle
slipping or running out of control as it moves
downhill.
It maintains the vehicle at a constant speed
during a descent by acting independently and
differentially on the brakes.
Activation / Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.



► With the speed below 19 mph (30 km/h), press this button to activate the system; the
button indicator lamp lights up.
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
button indicator lamp flashes.
The brake lamps automatically light up when the
function is activated.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h), the
system is automatically deactivated but the
button indicator lamp remains on.
The system is automatically reactivated as soon
as the speed returns 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.

Driving
6Operation
The system starts automatically when moving
off.
A check of the operating conditions takes place: these two indicator
lamps come on in the instrument panel.
When these conditions are met, these two
indicator lamps go off. The system is activated.
If the operating conditions are not met, the
system is activated but is no longer effective.
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of these
two warning lamps in the instrument panel.
Operating conditions
Once engaged, the system is active only when
these operating conditions are met:
– The vehicle is moving forwards.– No malfunction of the vehicle is detected.– The speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).– The longitudinal marking of the traffic lanes is clearly visible.– The visibility conditions are clear .
– The trajectory is in a straight line (or in the case of bends, they are wide).– The field of vision is sufficiently clear (the safety distance with the vehicle ahead is
respected).
– In the event of a lane departure, the direction indicator corresponding to the direction (right or
left) of the departure has not been operated.
– The trajectory of the vehicle is consistent with the road layout.
Deactivation / Reactivation


► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the function.
Deactivation is signalled by the illumination of
the button indicator lamp.
Upon reactivation, the two instrument panel
indicator lamps remain lit and fixed until the
speed reaches 37 mph (60 km/h).
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Detection
If a deviation in direction is detected on
the left or the right, the indicator lamp on
the corresponding side flashes in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal.
No warning is transmitted while the direction
indicator is activated and for approximately 20
seconds after the direction indicator is switched
off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (arrow) or non-standard marking
(graffiti) is crossed.
The detection may be impeded:– if the markings on the road are worn,– if there is little contrast between the markings on the road and the road surface.
The system is automatically deactivated if the Stop & Start function is active. The
system will restart and re-enable recognition
of the operating conditions after the vehicle is
started.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
– when the vehicle is carrying an excessive load (even more so if it is poorly balanced);– under poor visibility conditions (rain, fog, snow, etc.);– under poor light conditions (dazzling sunlight, darkness, etc.);
– if the windscreen is dirty or damaged near the camera;– if the ABS, DSC, ASR or Intelligent Traction Control systems are out of order.
