Overhead storage unit
This is located above the sun visors
and can accommodate various objects
(a jumper, file, gloves...).
The openings concealed by the sun
visors allow you to see and access the
objects stored in the overhead storage
unit.
The maximum weight permitted in the
overhead storage unit is 5 Kg.
Do not place objects in this storage
unit which could present a risk to the
occupants.
Central storage console
This console offers an appreciable
additional storage area: it can be
removed and clips onto a base which
also incorporates two cup holders at
the rear.
Ensure that the object (bottle, can...)
placed in the cup holder is retained
securely and does not risk being
dislodged while driving.
Any liquid which could spill presents
a risk of damage on contact with the
instrument panel and centre console
controls.
Take care.
Sun visor
To prevent dazzle from ahead, fold the
sun visor down.
A pocket is provided in the driver's sun
visor for storing toll cards, tickets, ...

HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
H
ORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. Pull on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is
moving, apply the brake by pulling
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the force of deceleration,
the hazard warning lamps come
on automatically. They switch off
automatically the first time you
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the switch on the dashboard.Releasing
Pull the lever up slightly and press the
button to lower the parking brake lever.

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. 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.
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.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSIST

ANCE (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 pressed down.
This alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
To maintain operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.
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 listed by
PEUGEOT for the vehicle. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.
Use the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
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 incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
The operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the ASR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50 km/h), 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 or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-


The LED comes on: the
ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-

button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

Different modes are available:
Normal (ESC)
ESC OFFSnow
This mode allows the vehicle
to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front
wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
Off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this
mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and
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
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and reduces the risk
of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated for a
low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
This mode is only suitable
for specific conditions
encountered when moving
off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode
automatically.

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2016
Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too
quickly the system automatically
applies the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come
on to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided
automatically if the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead does not exceed 9 mph
(15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will
do what is possible to avoid or reduce
the accident by lowering the speed of
impact.
The automatic braking may bring
the vehicle to a complete stop if the
situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held
stationary temporarily (for about
1.5
seconds) to allow the driver to take
back control by pressing the brake
pedal. The triggering of the system may
cause the engine to stall, unless
the driver depresses the clutch
pedal quickly enough during
automatic braking.
During automatic braking, the
driver can always obtain a higher
rate of deceleration than that
controlled by the system, by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is
automatically put out of service: it
no longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that
are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles),
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is
interrupted if the driver:
-

accelerates strongly
-


or turns the steering wheel
suddenly (avoiding manoeuvre). In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow

, fog, hail...),
braking distances increase, which
can reduce the ability of the system to
avoid a collision.
The driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of
snow or any object projecting
above the bonnet or in front of
the roof: this might fall into the field of
vision of the sensor and generate a
detection.

Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...), do not attach or fix
anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories when inflating as this could
cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Never modify the original definition of
your vehicle, particularly in the area
directly around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few
milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the
airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause injuries with deployment of the
airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the
seats, compatible with the deployment
the lateral airbags. For information
on the range of seat covers suitable
for your vehicle, you can contact a
PEUGEOT


dealer.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in
section
6.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
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.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed rearward facing.

Partner-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2016
Front airbags
Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the front towards
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.Deactivating the passengers front
airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated.
-

W
ith the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger's
front airbag deactivation switch.
- T urn it to the "OFF" position.
-

Remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.
The passenger's front airbag


warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag is deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or
seriously injured if the airbag were
deployed. Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
The front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger(s).

Towing a trailer
Partner-2-VU_en_Chap06_Accessoire_ed02-2016
For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
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.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.
