Safety
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
In the event that a wheel has poor grip, anti-slip
regulation brakes the spinning wheel and returns
the engine torque to the wheel that has the best
grip in order to prevent being bogged down.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, the hazard warning
lamps come on automatically. They switch off
automatically when you next accelerate.
They can be switched off by pressing the button.
Horn

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
(Depending on version)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
–

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–


Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
–


Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
–


Dynamic stability control (DSC).
–


T
railer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
individual wheel.
►

When braking in an emergency
, depress
the pedal very firmly and maintain this
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp signals that there is a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
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 pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

In the event that a wheel has poor grip, anti-slip
regulation brakes the spinning wheel and returns
the engine torque to the wheel that has the best
grip in order to prevent being bogged down.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired

Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.




► Press this button for approximately 5 seconds
to deactivate the functions (reactivated by a
single press).
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR and DSC systems reactivate
automatically after the ignition has been
switched off.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but 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.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The system does not operate whenever the ASR
and DSC systems are deactivated.

52
Safety
– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch
pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and
the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case,
the maintained descent speed is lower.
Activation of the system may cause noise in the transmission. This is perfectly
normal and has no consequence on the
behaviour of the vehicle.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if the
driver releases the accelerator and brake pedals,
the system will release the brakes to set the
vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 22 mph (35 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, but the
indicator lamp in the instrument panel remains
on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 22 mph (35 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
Depress the accelerator or brake pedal again to
pause the cruise control.
Switching off
► Press the button until the indicator lamp on
the instrument panel goes off.
At a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h),
the system is automatically deactivated and the
indicator lamp on the instrument panel goes off.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faultsK
The vehicle speed must be less than
approximately 53 mph (85
km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the Engine technical data and towed
loads section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer
.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Hill Assist Descent Control system for steep
slopes and on road surfaces with poor grip
(e.g.
gravel, mud).
This system reduces the risk of loss of control
or slipping of the vehicle when descending in
forward gear.
During a descent, the system assists the driver
in maintaining a constant speed, depending on
the gear engaged, while progressively releasing
the brakes.
For the system to activate, the gradient
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in
neutral.
Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can
be used with the selector at

N
or D.
The system is no longer available and no longer active if the speed of the vehicle is
above 22 mph (35
km/h).
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary
or when moving at speeds up to approximately
31 mph (50
km/h).




► To select the system, press this button
until this green indicator lamp lights up on
the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds between
5 and 22 mph
(8 and 35 km/h).
►

When the vehicle begins its descent, the
driver can release the accelerator and brake
pedals; the system regulates the speed:
– If the gearbox is in first or second gear ,
the speed decreases and the
indicator
lamp flashes rapidly.

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

Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►


Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►

Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g.

settings).
►

During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
T

o ensure the durability of the vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautionary measures must be taken when
driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
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.
Load the vehicle correctly
Observe the Gross Train Weight.
To avoid unbalancing the vehicle, centre the
load, placing the heaviest part on the floor in
front of the rear wheels.
Observe the maximum weight for the roof
anchoring points, communicated by a PEUGEOT
dealer. Loads must be securely lashed down.
Loads that are not properly secured in the
loading bay can disturb the vehicle’s behaviour
and cause an accident.
The dimensions of the load in the loading
bay
must respect the (overall) dimensions of the
vehicle.
Drive the vehicle carefully
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.
Avoid rough manoeuvres; improper driving can
lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
Precautions for off-road driving
Before driving off-road:
– Check the engine oil level.
–

Check the condition of the wheels and tyres.
–


Make sure that you transport the tool kit as
well as specialised equipment adapted to the
terrain.
Driving on uneven terrain or roads increases the
risk of the vehicle being damaged and the driver
or passengers being injured. Drive carefully
according to the conditions of the terrain.
–


Fasten seat belts (even at low speed).
–


Do not hold the steering wheel on the inside
or by its spokes (risk of injury due to the wheel
spinning back).
– Do not accelerate suddenly and do not drive at
excessive speed.
–

Do not make sharp turns.
–


A
void dangerous areas and avoid hitting
obstacles.
–

Do not drive perpendicularly or turn around on
a steep slope (risk of tipping over). Go up/down
or reverse in a straight line (with reverse gear
engaged if reversing).
–


Never reverse on a steep slope in neutral or
with the clutch pedal depressed (with a manual
gearbox).
On a descent, the vehicle speed can increase
without any action on the accelerator pedal.
In this case, use the engine brake to slow the
vehicle down. If necessary

, depress the brake
pedal without using it for an extended period
(risk of overheating the braking system).
As a precautionary measure, anticipate the
arrival at the top of a slope (steep slope on the
other side or presence of obstacle).
It is recommended to clean the brakes
regularly after driving off-road. In the
event of noise or loss of braking efficiency, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the braking
system checked.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the
label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for
long journeys.
Check and clean the vehicle after each off-road
trip.
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 very 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
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk
of fire!
Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field,

Never drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (tall grass, accumulated
dead leaves, crops, debris) such as a field,
a country lane overgrown with bushes or a
grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system
or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in
the passenger compartment which could
act like a magnifying glass under the effect of
the sun's rays and cause a fire - risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the 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 your vehicle's
electrical systems.


If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►

Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 60

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

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

km/h).
►

Do 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.
After driving on a flooded road, you must have the level and condition of the oil in
the front and rear transmission axles checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.

64
Driving
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has 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
► 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.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► 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 causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►


Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
