and the load space; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
REMOTE CONTROL
This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
ACCESS
Unlocking the cab
Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective door locking function is
active when the vehicle is delivered. At your
request, the dealer network can deactivate
Unlocking the load space
Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.
This separation of the locking
of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.
Central locking
Press this button to lock your
vehicle, cab and rear doors.
The direction indicators flash
once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not
closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.
Deadlocking
If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking. Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.
If deadlocking is activated from inside the
vehicle, it will change to normal locking
when the vehicle is started.
Folding / unfolding the key
Press this button to release the
key from its housing.
To fold the key, press the
chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.
Good practice
Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key in
the switch, may cause a malfunction.

Head restraint height adjustment
To raise or lower the restraint, pull it
forwards, then slide it.
The adjustment is correct when the upper
edge of the head restraint is level with the
top of the head.
To remove it, set it in the high position, press
the tabs and pull upwards and forwards at
the same time.
To re-install, engage the head restraint rods
in the holes, making sure they are aligned
with the seat back.
Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be in place and
correctly adjusted.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

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.

SAFETY SYSTEMS
In situations of extreme transverse
acceleration, this module limits the risks
of the vehicle rolling over by acting on the
brakes. Roll Over Mitigation *
This system, linked with the DSC,
supplements the ABS-EBFD, ASR-DSC and
EBA braking functions, already covered in
this document, to guarantee a high level
of active safety. Indeed, the ROM system
was intended originally for top-of-the-range
4x4 type vehicles and today it is fitted on
your vehicle. * Roll-over prevention system.

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.
