Dynamic stability control
(DSC) and anti-slip
regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is however recommended that the systems
be reactivated as soon as possible. These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from
31 mph (50
km/h).
However, below 31 mph (50 km/h), the systems
can be reactivated manually.
Deactivating using button or Grip control
Press this button or turn the dial to
this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or dial comes
on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer act on the
operation of the engine.
Deactivating using touch screen
Reactivating using button or Grip control Press this button.
Or Turn the dial to this position. The indicator lamp in the button or dial goes off.
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
deactivate the DSC/ASR systems.
This is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a
message.
The systems no longer have an effect on
engine operation. Reactivating using touch screen
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system. In the "
Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate the DSC/ASR systems.
This is confirmed by this indicator
lamp going out in the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

All-terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with
the least grip to optimise clearing of the
mud and to regain grip. At the same
time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two
driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move for ward and limit
the risks of getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. The ASR and DSC systems can be
deactivated by turning the knob to
the "
OFF" position.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50
km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
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
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

Driving recommendations
F Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
F

M
onitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
F

D
rive smoothly, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety
distance, especially in bad weather.
F

S

that require close attention (such as
adjustments).
F

uring long trips, take a break every two
hours.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautions, described hereafter, should be
taken when driving your vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of this vehicle differ greatly
from those of a light vehicle, in width, in height,
as well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Drive the vehicle in a cautious
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Be careful
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in
a closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4
minutes before moving off, to ensure the
correct operation and durability of the
mechanical components of your vehicle
(engine and gearbox). Never drive with the parking brake
applied
. Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable sur face
(dr y grass, dead leaves, etc.). The
exhaust system of your vehicle is very
hot, even several minutes after the engine
stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised .
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Driving

139
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the
density of the air decreases with altitude
and the performance of the engine
reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device
is used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
temperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

T
o reduce the heating up, reduce the
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F

d

eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
F

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
