Hill start assist

System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system only operates when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,

- in par ticular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill star t assist system cannot be
deactivated.

On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a momentarily
when you release the brake pedal:



- provided you are in first gear or neutral on
a manual gearbox,

- provided you are in A
or M
on an electronic
gear control gearbox,

- provided you are in D
or M
on an automatic
gearbox.


Operation


On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held momentarily when you
release the brake pedal.




Do not exit the vehicle while it is being
held in the hill star t assist phase.
If you need to exit the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp (and the
warning lamp P
in the lever of the
electric parking brake) are on fixed (not
flashing).



Operating fault

If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Cruise control

System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it
requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the engaging:


- 4th gear or higher on a manual gearbox,

- 2nd gear or higher on an electronic gear
control gearbox or automatic gearbox,

- position A
on the electronic gear control
gearbox or D
on the automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or
on triggering of the ESP system for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when one or
more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.


This system does not avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to "Identification
markings") to ensure that the optimum
dynamic per formance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember to
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electromagnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre

This warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the instrument
panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the
brakes.

)
Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.



Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty



)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

Safety
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the traction control (ASR),

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).

Electronic stability programme (ESP)


Definitions


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and offers improved control, in particular on
poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.


Emergency braking assistance

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 the effectiveness of the braking.


Anti-skid regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.


Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: Intelligent Traction Control
.
This automatic system continuously checks
for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that
could make it difficult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide
the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow on top
of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.


Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)

In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.


When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
