Pneumatic suspension
PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
If your vehicle is fitted with pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear of the vehicle to make loading and
unloading easier.
The control panel is located on the
dashboard.
There is a nominal level as well as 6 height
adjustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3) or
lowering (from -1 to -3). Each level reached
is indicated on the instrument panel screen.
Manual adjustment of the loading height
Raise: upwards adjustment of
the load floor Press the control, release to
stop the movement. Each press
increases by one level: +1 to +3.
Lower: downwards adjustment
of the load floor Press the control, release to stop
the movement.
Each press decreases by one
level: -1 to -3. Return to the optimum floor height
Press the same number of times in reverse
as the level of the position displayed.
Warning lamp
Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
Good practice
Driving with the suspension set too high or
too low risks damaging components under
the body.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

DRIVING SAFELY
PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
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.
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.
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.
Releasing
Pull the lever 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 full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
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.
To prolong the 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 steer 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 approved.
If this warning lamp comes on,
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 warning
lamp, 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.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.
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
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
In certain exceptional conditions (when
starting a vehicle stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR system to make the
wheels spin and regain grip.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
The LED flashes when the ASR
or ESP is triggered.
Press this button.
The LED on the button comes on: the
ASR system no longer acts on the engine
operation, but continues to act on the brakes.
Operating fault
When a malfunction of the ASR
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited
to a fixed speed of approximately 55 mph
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h). This
maximum speed cannot be changed.
A label in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.

or deactivated by the driver while driving.
When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
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.

Airbags
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:
if the triggering threshold is reached, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle. The airbags will not be deployed in collisions
which are not serious, for which the seat belt
is sufficient to provide maximum protection.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags
only operate when the ignition is
switched on. Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
The gas escaping from the deployed
airbags can be a minor irritant.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.
