Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS) and electronic brake 
force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y 
firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and 
rims), ensure that these are approved 
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make 
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake 
pedal.
th
e fixed illumination of this warning 
lamp indicates that there is a fault 
with the ABS.th
e vehicle retains conventional 
braking. Drive carefully at moderate 
speed.
When this warning lamp comes on, 
coupled with the STOP  and ABS 
warning lamps, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message, 
it indicates that there is a fault 
with the electronic brake force 
distribution (
e
B
FD).
You must stop as soon as it is 
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system 
checked by a P
e
ugeot
 dealer or 
a qualified workshop as soon as 
possible.
Intelligent traction  
control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help 
driving on snow: intelligent traction control .
th
is system detects situations of difficult 
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to 
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow 
or compacted snow.
In these situations, intelligent traction 
control  limits the amount of wheel slip to 
provide the best traction and trajectory control 
for your vehicle.
th
e use of snow tyres is strongly 
recommended on sur faces offering low 
levels of grip.

Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of the impact, the 
pretensioning device may be deployed 
before and independently of the airbags. 
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.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes 
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a P
e
ugeot  dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
 
b
e tightened as close to the body as 
possible,
-
 
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it does not 
twist,
-
 
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
 
n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
 
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid 
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's 
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
Pe
ugeot d
ealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a 
P
e
ugeot
 dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by 
P
e
ugeot
 d
ealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
use a suitable child seat if the passenger is 
less than 12 years old or shorter than one 
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer 
to the corresponding section.the
 driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfill their role fully.
th
e seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
permitting automatic adjustment of the 
length of the strap to your size. 
t
h
e seat belt 
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat 
belt is reeled in correctly.
th
e lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
th
e upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
th
e inertia reels are fitted with an automatic 
locking device which comes into operation in 
the event of a collision, emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling the strap firmly and 
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

When towing
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, 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 and the headlamp beam 
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer 
to the corresponding section.
th
e rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine P
e
ugeot  
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it 
is recommended that the engine be 
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after 
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate 
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the 
headlamp beam height
, refer to the 
corresponding section.

this system, also called automatic emergency 
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact 
or avoid a frontal collision by your vehicle 
(between 3 and 87 mph (5 and 140 km/h) 
where the driver fails to react.
us
ing a radar and a camera, this system acts 
on the vehicle's braking system.
Active Safety Brake
the driver can take back control of the vehicle 
at any time by sharply turning the steering 
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal.
op
 eration of the system may be felt by 
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
the automatic braking is maintained for 
1 to 2 seconds.
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, in 
the event of the automatic emergency 
braking bringing the vehicle to a 
complete stop, the engine may stall.
If your vehicle has an automatic 
gearbox, in the event of the automatic 
emergency braking bringing the vehicle 
to a complete stop, the vehicle will 
move off again; press the brake pedal.
If automatic emergency braking is 
not activated, you are alerted by the 
fixed display of this warning lamp 
accompanied by a message.
If the radar and the camera have 
confirmed the presence of a vehicle 
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp 
flashes when the system is operating.
Important
: if operation of the 
automatic emergency braking is 
triggered, you should take back 
control of your vehicle and brake  
with the pedal to add to or finish the 
automatic braking.
