Dynamic stability control (DSC) The DSC system offers excep-
tional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive
at high speed.
The correct functioning of the system
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer's recommendations regard-
ing the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT as-
sembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.








Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the DSC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"

button.
This warning lamp and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come
on: the DSC system no longer
acts on the operation of the in-
ternal combustion engine.

Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back
on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to have the system
checked. This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.

Activation
This system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
grip or trajectory problem.


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
but-
ton again to reactivate it
manually.










Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed princi-
pally to drive on tarmac roads
but it allows you to drive on other less
passable terrain occasionally.
However, it does not permit all-ter-
rain activities such as:


- crossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the under-
body or pull off components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler, high voltage
cables, …) due to obstacles or
stones in particular,

- crossing a stream.

The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes.




ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE


Deactivation is recommended in
particularly cold conditions (ice)
and during towing (recovery...).
Refer to the "Manual release"
section.

Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.

If this warning lamp in the in-
strument panel comes on, the
automatic mode is deactivated. The system can be acti-
vated / deactivated by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible beep
and a message is displayed if the brake
is not applied.
Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.

Automatic application and release
Application is automatic on switching off
the the engine, release is automatic as
the vehicle starts to move off (activated
by default).

Manual application and release
Manual application and release of the
parking brake is possible by pulling on
the control lever A
.






Label on the door panel
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on, not fl ashing.

,

Automatic release

The electric parking brake releases au-
tomatically and progressively
when
you press the accelerator:


)
Put the gear lever in position A
, M

or R
then press on the accelerator
pedal.


Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel is on fi xed (not
fl ashing).
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.

- extinction of braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in the control lever A
,
The noise of operation confi rms the ap-
plication/ release of the electric parking
brake. Full release of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:
To immobilise the vehicle, engine running

With the hybrid system active and the ve-
hicle stationary, in order to immobilise the
vehicle it is essential to manually apply
the parking brake by pulling
on control
lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:


- illumination of the braking
warning lamp and of the warn-
ing lamp P
in control lever A
,
When the driver’s door is opened, there
is an audible signal and a message is
displayed if the parking brake has not
been applied.

Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instrument
panel is on fi xed, not fl ashing.


When stationary, with the hybrid
system active, do not press the
accelerator pedal unnecessarily,
as you may release the parking
brake.
Application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:

- display of a message that
the parking brake is on.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.

Special situationsEMERGENCY BRAKING

In the event of a failure of the main service
brake or in an exceptional situation (e.g.
driver taken ill, under instruction, etc) a
continuous pull on control lever
A
will
stop the vehicle
.
The dynamic stability control system
(DSC) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:


- "Parking brake faulty".

- "Parking brake control faulty". In certain situations (e.g. starting the
hybrid system), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centi-
metres without starting the engine, but
with the ignition on, press on the brake
pedal and release the parking brake by
pulling
then releasing
control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by the extinction of warning
lamp in control lever A
and of the warn-
ing lamp in the instrument panel and
display of a message that the parking
brake is off.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied
or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible.
If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking sta-
bility is not guaranteed.

The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate “pull
release” actions on control lever A
.

In certain extreme weather
conditions (rain and/or snow,
bright sunshine, ...) the head-
up display may not be legible or may
suffer temporary interference.
Certain glasses (sunglasses, specta-
cles or polarised lenses) may hamper
reading of the information.
To clean the transparent strip, which
is made of organic glass, use a clean,
soft cloth (such as a spectacles cloth
or microfi bre cloth). Do not use a dry
or abrasive cloth or detergent or sol-
vent products as these could scratch
the strip or damage the anti-refl ection
coating.

We recommend that adjust-
ments are only made using
these buttons when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
When stationary or while driving, no
objects should be placed around the
transparent strip (or on its cover) to
avoid blocking the strip output and
preventing its correct operation.
