At your request, the network can deactivate
this selectivity of opening between the cab
and the load space, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

REMOTE CONTROL

This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.

ACCESS


Unlocking the cab

Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.
The direction indicators flash
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.

Instruments and controls


Warning lamps

Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a check auto-test. They go off again almost immediately.
When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings

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

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.
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 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.
