"GRIP CONTROL"
ESP mode
Place the dial in this position. Snow mode
Special patented traction control sys-
tem which improves traction on snow,
mud and sand.
This system is combined with all-sea-
s o n M + S ( M u d a n d S n o w : 2 1 5 / 6 0 R 1 6 )
tyres which offer an excellent compro-
mise between safety, grip and traction.
This equipment, the operation of which
has been optimised in each situation,
allows you to manoeuvre in most condi-
tions of poor grip (encountered during
touring use).
Pressing the accelerator pedal should
b e s u f fi c i e n t t o a l l o w t h e s y s t e m t o u s e
the power of the engine. The electron-
ics will ensure optimum management
of the various parameters. Phases of
operation with a high engine speed are
completely normal.
Each time the ignition is switched off,
the system returns to standard mode
(ESP).
Standard mode which is calibrated for a
low level of skidding, based on different
conditions of grip encountered on the
road.
Mode which adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered for each
of the two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
the skidding to guarantee the best ac-
celeration possible in relation to the grip
available.
Place the dial in this position.

All-terrain mode (mud, wet grass, ...)
Mode which, when moving off, permits
considerable skidding 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 control-
led in such a way as to pass as much
torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises the
skidding to respond to the driver's re-
quirements as fully as possible. Sand mode
Mode which permits little skidding on
the two driving wheels at the same time
to allow the vehicle to move forward
and limit the risks of getting stuck in the
sand.
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed prin-
cipally to drive on tarmacked
roads but it allows you to drive on other
less passable terrain occasionally.
However, it does not permit all-ter-
rain activities such as:
- crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the under-
frame or strip away components
(fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due to
obstacles or stones in particular,
- driving on terrain with steep gra- dients and poor grip,
- crossing a stream.
Place the dial in this position.
Place the dial in this position. ESP OFF mode
Place the dial in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.

AIRBAGS
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
d e t e c t i o n z o n e s :
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y
so that they do not hinder visibility
or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be triggered; the
s e a t b e l t a l o n e i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o -
vide optimum protection in these
situations. Triggering of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Front air bags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
o f i n j u r y t o t h e h e a d a n d c h e s t .
The driver's air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's air bag is incorporat-
ed in the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part of
t h e f r o n t i m p a c t z o n e A , in the longitu-
dinal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
z o n t a l p l a n e a n d d i r e c t e d f r o m t h e f r o n t
to the rear of the vehicle.

cia to cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. F r o n t i m p a c t z o n e .
B. S i d e i m p a c t z o n e .
The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake whether the engine is
running or off, pull on control A .
The application of the parking brake is
c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the lighting of the braking warning lamp and of the warn-
ing lamp P on the control A ,
- the displaying of the message "Parking brake applied".
When the driver’s door is opened with
the engine running, a beep is heard and
a message is displayed if the parking
brake has not been applied, unless the
selector lever is in position P (Park) in
the case of an automatic gearbox.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine run-
ning, to release the parking brake,
press on the brake pedal or the acce-
lerator, pull then release control A .
The full application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
-
the extinction of the braking
warning lamp and of the warn-
ing lamp P on control A ,
- the displaying of the message
"Parking brake released".
If you pull control A without pres-
sing the brake pedal, the parking
brake will not be released and a
warning lamp will light up on the
instrument panel.
Manual application Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise maximum
application of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull on
control A , until you see the message
"Parking brake applied" and a beep is
heard.
In the case of towing, a loaded
vehicle or parking on a gradi-
ent, turn the front wheels to-
wards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel is permanently lit.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the automatic
functions are activated but you
are applying the parking brake
manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing),

Emergency unlocking
For safety reasons, after this
manoeuvre it is essential to
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
urgently.
Following an emergency unlocking,
immobilisation of the vehicle is no
longer guaranteed once the manual
emergency unlocking has been de-
ployed and the manual control does
not allow the re-application of your
parking brake.
Take no action, either on control A , or
stopping starting the engine while the
unlocking device is engaged.
Take care not to allow moisture or
dust in the proximity of the plug.
Immobilise the vehicle, with the en-
g i n e r u n n i n g , b y e n g a g i n g fi r s t g e a r
(manual gearbox), position P (auto-
matic gearbox) or M or R (6-speed
electronic gearbox).
Switch off the engine but leave the
ignition on. If it is impossible to im-
mobilise the vehicle, do not action
the control and urgently contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Fetch the two vehicle blocks and
the unlocking device, located under
the boot carpet (see "Changing a
wheel" in the "Practical information"
section).
Immobilise the vehicle by placing
blocks at the front and at the rear of
one of the rear wheels.
Slide the front left-hand seat back
as far as possible.
L i f t u p t h e fl o o r p l u g B in the carpet
under the seat.
Remove the cap C on the tube D
with the unlocking device.
Place the unlocking device in the
tube D .
Turn the unlocking device clockwise.
For safety reasons , it is essential to
continue turning the device as far as
it will go or until you hear a knocking
noise. The parking brake is released.
Remove the unlocking device and
store it with the blocks in the tool-
box.
- The operation of the parking brake reinitialises when the igni-
tion is switched off then on again.
If the reinitialisation of the parking
brake proves impossible, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
- The subsequent time required for application may be longer than dur-
ing normal operation.
Front left seat moved back fully.
In the event of the electronic parking
brake malfunctioning or the battery run-
n i n g fl a t , a n e m e r g e n c y m a n u a l d e v i c e
can unlock the parking brake.
