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 and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.
F
Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC

and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine
and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.
This action also deactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6 THP 270 hp version).
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is
switched back on.
You can also reactivate them manually:
F

Press this button again.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning
lamps (except for the 1.6

THP 270 hp version).
Operating fault
d

SC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer increased safety in normal
driving, but they should not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
It is in difficult driving conditions (rain, snow, ice) that the risk of
loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to
keep the DSC and

ASR systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly
in difficult conditions.
The correct operation of these systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the
wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the
assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To
benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and
ASR

systems

in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fitted with four
snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on
the road.Illumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the
deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message, indicate a fault with the system.
Contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer
or a qualified workshop.

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and \
side impacts suffered in the impact detection zones:
-
in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed
instantaneously and contribute towards protecting the occupants of
the

vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occupants or their
possible exit from the vehicle,
-


in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards providing your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is off.
This

equipment only operates once. If a second impact occurs
(during

the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a
slight discharge of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may
experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to the deployment of one or
more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

CHECKS
BATTERY
PARTICLE
FILTER ( dIESEL )
On a new vehicle, the first particle filter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly
normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or
at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the emission
of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The

battery

does

not

require

any

maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to the "Battery"
section for details of the precautions to be taken before disconnecting \
the battery and following its reconnection.
The start of saturation of the particle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the risk of blockage of the
particle

filter.
As

soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving
at a speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes of\

f.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check these components in accordance
with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Otherwise,

have

them

checked

by

a

PEUGEOT


dealer

or

a

qualified

workshop.

the replacement intervals for these components.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty atmosphere) and
the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice
as often if necessary

.
A


clogged

passenger compartment filter may have an adverse effect
on the performance of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace

the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.

a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as
the audio and telematics system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
thirty minutes.
GOING INT O T O ECONOMY MO d E
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears in the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has gone into economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.This period may be reduced considerably if the battery is not fully
charged.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it will be maintained
for 5 minutes with the hands-free kit of your P
EUGEOT
Connect
Sound (RD5) or P

EUGEOT
Connect Navigation (R
T6).
COMING OUT OF ECONOMY MO d E
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is
started.
To resume the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for at least 5 minutes.
A


flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the "12 V
battery" section).
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the
level of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning, the heated \
rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit. Observe this minimum period of engine running to maintain the correct
level of charge in the battery.
Do not repeatedly restart of the engine to restore immediate use of
systems.
