the audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper
.
t
he 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.

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.
t

he ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the
e BFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and S
t
OP
warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
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.
t

his alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
to prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.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 P
euge O t
.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P

euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
these systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
t

he ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
t

he 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.
u

se 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.
Deactivation
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
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
the ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
t

he 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 fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of 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 and the L
e D come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-

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

t
he L
e D comes on: the ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-

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

euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
t

he warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.

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 of

f 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 or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
t

he accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way.

this DSC mode is calibrated
for a low level of skidding,
based on dif
ferent conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
t

his DSC OFF mode is
only suitable for specific
conditions encountered when
moving off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h) the system
returns to DSC mode automatically.t his snow mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
t

his off-road mode (mud,
wet grass...) allows, when
moving off, considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.t his sand mode allows a
little wheelspin on the two
driving wheels at the same
time to allow the vehicle to
move forward and reduces
the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.

SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Seat belt not fastened warning lamp
Unfastening
Press the red button.When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if a user at the front has not
fastened their seat belt.
Good practice
the driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving of
f.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
e

nsure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
the front passenger's seat may be
fitted with a presence detector, in which
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the alert.
