direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
ACCESSES
Unlocking the cab Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.

twice.
Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.
This selective function of the accesses is
active when the vehicle is delivered. 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
(keyring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key
in the switch, may cause a malfunction.

desired position is reached.
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.

Adjustable armrest
To place the armrest in its rest position:
- raise it until it is in the centreline of the

seat back.

To place the armrest in a position for use:
- fold it down fully,
- raise it slowly to the required position,
- if you pass the required position, raise it
fully then repeat the operations above.

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 light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop immediately.
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 light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
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. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful to
disarm the ASR and ESP systems to make
the wheels spin and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the centre
console.
- The indicator light comes on: the ASR and ESP systems no longer act. Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP 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 within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Use the ESP 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 ESP system automatically Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The luminous diode flashes when
the ASR or ESP 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 indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
The warning light may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Improved safety and security
IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY
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 ESP,
supplements the ABS-EBFD, ASR-ESP 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.
