Parking sensors
SAFETY
4
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Activation/Deactivation
REAR PARKING SENSORS
Display in the screen
You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.
The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.

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.
Deactivating 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 deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the centre
console.
- The indicator lamp 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
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and fitting and
repair procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
The LED 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 warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
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

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.

Airbags
SAFETY
4
Lateral airbags
If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system
which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone. If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
This is a system which protects the driver
and passengers (with the exception of the
centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit the risk
of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in the
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment.
Activation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side airbag in the event of
a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
The airbag is not deployed in the event of
a rear or front collision.
Operating fault

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.
ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Checks
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.

Bleeding the water contained in theDiesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed
screw located on the end of the transparent
pipe.
Operate until all of the water in the
transparent pipe has been drained out then
tighten the bleed screw.
HDi engines use advanced technology.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop for all work on the system. During this regeneration, you may notice
that the idling speed is higher than normal
and that the cooling fan is running. As
operation of the exhaust emissions controls
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to
reach very high levels, it is recommended
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves,
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).

Changing a fuse
CHANGING A FUSE
The three fuseboxes are placed:
-
in the dashboard on the right-hand side
(behind the storage compartment, retractable),
- in the passenger compartment (battery compartment),
- under the bonnet.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified.
Always replace a faulty fuse with a fuse
of the same rating. PEUGEOT will not accept responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of auxiliary accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
PEUGEOT and not installed in accordance
with its instructions, in particular when
the combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes. The descriptions communicated are only the
fuses which can be changed by the user.
For any other operations, go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
For motor trade: for complete fuse
and relay information, consult the
