DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING

Manual mode

Turn the control to this
temperature setting.
Increase the air fl ow setting. Press the air conditioning
button.
Returning to exterior air
intake open permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment (LED off). Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.

Demisting the rear screen and/
or mirrors
Pressing this button, with the
engine running, activates the
rapid demisting - defrosting of
the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:


- when the button is pressed,

- when the engine is switched off,

- automatically to prevent excessive
energy consumption.

Driving safely


ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL
(DSC)
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 DSC 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 DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.

Deactivating the ASR/ESC
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
ESC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating check


Good practice

The ASR/ESC 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 fi tting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.


Operation of the ASR and DSC
systems
The LED fl ashes
when the ASR or
DSC is triggered.

They engage again:


- automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), 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
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-infl ated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.



- Press the button
or turn the dial
to the ESC
OFF position
(depending on
model).

-
The warning lamp comes on: the ASR and
ESC systems no longer come into play.


- manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).

"GRIP CONTROL"














Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:


- crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear off components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,

- driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.

On snow, mud and sand, traction
control is obtained by a compromise
between safety, grip and traction,
which is associated with the Michelin
®
Latitude Tour HP M+S tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated. The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE

For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (registration
document, ...) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

130
Towing a traile

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.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

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
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted 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
fi tting 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 fi tting this type
of equipment.
Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS/DSC

The ABS or DSC 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.

Maintenance with TOTAL

Partners in performance and
protection of the environment

Innovation at the service of performance
The TOTAL Research and Development
teams develop lubricants for PEUGEOT which
satisfy the requirements of the latest technical
innovations incorporated in PEUGEOT
vehicles.
This ensures that you obtain the best
performance and the maximum engine life.



RECOMMENDS




Reduced exhaust emissions
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise
the effi ciency of engines and the protection
of the emissions post-treatment systems.
It is crucial to observe the servicing
recommendations made by PEUGEOT to
ensure correct operation.
