emergency automatic braking is a system that
aims to reduce the speed of a frontal collision
if the driver does not take action, using radar
type detection and acting on the vehicle's
braking system.
Emergency automatic
braking system
this warning lamp flashes when your
vehicle "starts" to brake but will not
in any circumstance completely stop
the vehicle.
You should continue to press firmly
on the brake pedal until the vehicle
comes to a complete stop.Conditions for activation
emergency automatic braking only operates in
the following conditions:
●
e
ngine running
●

n
o fault in the electronic stability system,
●

s
peed at least 12 mph (20 km/h),
●

e
ngine speed sufficiently high.

electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
this system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
the ASR system (also known as tr action
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
th
is is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
th
e DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.th e correct operation of the system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly and
repair procedures used by P
e

uge
Ot

dealers.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
F

P
ress the button.
th

is warning lamp and the indicator
lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
Reactivation
the system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h). F

P
ress the button again to
reactivate it manually. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a
fault with the system.
Contact a P
e
uge

dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not
block traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and not slippery.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear to block the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P warning lamp in the parking
brake control lever come on.
th

e occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Do not use:
-

t

he jack for any other purpose than lifting
the vehicle,
-

a j
ack other than the one supplied by the
manufacturer.
en

sure that the jack is stable. If the ground is slippery or loose, the jack may slip or drop -
Risk of injury!
en

sure that the jack is positioned only at one of the jacking points A or B under the vehicle,
making sure that the vehicle's contact sur face is centred on the head of the jack. Other wise
there is a risk of damage to the vehicle and/or of the jack dropping - Risk of injury!

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.to a void overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "
te

chnical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
