Driving safely
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Use the DSC to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when
operation of the ASR or DSC is
triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the button again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the LED come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
- Press the button, located on the centre console.
- The LED comes on: the ASR and DSC systems no longer
operate.

Airbags
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags infl ate instantly and contribute
towards better protecting the occupants of
the vehicle. Immediately after the impact,
the airbags defl ate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occupants
nor their possible exit from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat
belt alone is sufficient to contribute
towards your protection in these
situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. It is imperative that the passenger's
airbag is deactivated if a child seat
is installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4. Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

AIRBAGS
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Towing a trailer
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP05_ACCESSOIRES_ED01-2014
You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures. Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible. Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Checks
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP06_VERIFICATIONS_ED01-2014
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
The carbon fi lter permits continuous and effective
fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger
compartment fi lter. By means of its second special
active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the
air breathed by the occupants and the cleanness
of the passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and greasy
deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle (urban
driving...), change them twice as often if necessary.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
