Electronic stability control
(ESC)
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) and 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.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
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 as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems 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 optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability
while accelerating.
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.

Safety
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on towing
a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such as
towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive
at excessive speeds.
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.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are
operating.
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.
However, it is recommended that the system 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).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
km/h), the systems
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
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 used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
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 electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and
160
km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
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.

Safety
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you
release 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 19 mph (30 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine
or of the brakes in the event of a change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 31 mph (50
km/h) and whenever the
ignition is switched on.
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:
–

crossing 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,
–

driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,
–


crossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle when descending, whether
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope
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, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
The system is not available: – if the speed of the vehicle is above 43
mph (70
km/h),
–

if the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the

Adaptive Cruise Control,
depending on the type of gearbox.
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, at speeds below
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until
its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19
mph (30
km/h).
►

When the vehicle begins its descent, you 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,
–

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.

In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and force limiter.
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.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening

► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
►

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Two-seat front bench seat

If the vehicle is fitted with a front bench seat,
ensure that each seat belt is used with its correct
buckle.
Do not interchange the driver's seat belt or
buckle with the centre seat belt or buckle.
Rear seat belts

Driving
6Before 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 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.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up. In all cases, pay 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
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 susceptibility to the
wind that the 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.

►

Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately

.
If P is displayed on the instrument panel
but the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow the
engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle, then
select position D to accelerate.
When the engine is running at idle with
the brakes released, if position R, D or M
is selected, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children unsupervised inside the
vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle
without taking your key or remote control with
you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake and
select position P.
With an automatic gearbox, never try to
start the engine by pushing the vehicle.
Automatic operation
► Select position D for automatic
changing of the gears.
The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any intervention on the part of the
driver. It continuously selects the most suitable
gear according to the driving style, the road
profile and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully down (kick-down). The gearbox
changes down automatically or holds the gear
selected until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine braking.
If the accelerator pedal is sharply released, the
gearbox will not shift to a higher gear for safety
reasons.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily assume control of gear
changing using the " +" et "-” steering-mounted
controls. The gear change request will be
executed if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle or
approaching a bend in the road.
After a few seconds with no inputs via the control
paddles, the gearbox reverts to automatic
operation.
Creeping (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
When the engine is at idle, with the parking
brake released and gear position D, M or R
selected, the vehicle begins to creep forward
as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal
(even without pressing the accelerator).
As a safety precaution, never leave the vehicle with the engine running and the
doors closed.

the selected gear flashes for a few
seconds, then the gear actually engaged is
shown.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very
slowly, the gearbox automatically selects gear
M1.
To preserve the brakes while descending a steep incline, use engine braking to
reduce your speed (change down or select a
lower gear).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed
continuously for long periods can overheat
the brakes, with the risk of damaging the
braking system or making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary, to slow
or stop the vehicle.
Depending on the road configuration
(e.g. mountainous road), manual
operation may be preferable.
Automatic operation may not always be
suitable, and does not enable engine braking.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly (gear selector between
two positions).
►

Place the selector "correctly" at a position.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, select position
P then apply the parking brake to immobilise the
vehicle.
A point of resistance may be noticed when moving to position P.
If the selector is not in position P when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45

seconds after the ignition is switched off,
an audible signal sounds and a message
appears.
►

Driving
6– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake pedal
switch or with at least two brake lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of your
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.
After an impact, the function automatically stops operating. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
Distance Alert
It warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the vehicle in front or a pedestrian
present in their traffic lane.
Operation
Depending on the degree of risk of collision
detected by the system and the alert threshold
chosen by the driver, several different levels
of alert may be triggered and displayed in the
instrument panel.
They take account of the vehicle dynamics, the
speeds of your vehicle and the one in front, the
environmental conditions and the operation of
the vehicle (cornering, actions on the pedals,
etc.) to trigger the alert at the best moment.
Level 1 (orange): visual alert only,
signalling that the vehicle in front is very
close.
The message "
Vehicle close" is displayed.
Level 2 (red): visual and audible alert,
signalling that a collision is imminent.
The message "
Brake!" is displayed.
Level 3: finally, in some cases, a haptic alert
in the form of micro-braking can be given,
confirming the risk of collision.
Where the speed of your vehicle is too
high approaching another vehicle, the
first level of alert may not be displayed: the
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: the level
1 alert is never displayed
for a stationary obstacle or when the " Close"
trigger threshold has been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger threshold
This threshold determines how you wish to be
warned of the presence of a moving or stationary
vehicle in front of you, or a pedestrian present in
your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the vehicle
configuration menu.
You can select one of three pre-defined
thresholds:
–

"Distant",
–

"Normal",
–

"Close".
The last threshold selected is memorised when
the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid a
collision, this system will supplement the braking,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you press
the brake pedal.
