Switching offF
P
ress the "empty fan" air flow
button until the fan symbol
disappears.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only reach its optimum level gradually
to prevent too much cold air being
distributed.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution
of warm air to the windscreen, the side
windows and the footwells only.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit. F

P
ush the button down (blue) to
reduce the value or up (red) to
increase it. A setting of around 21 provides optimum
comfort. Depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is normal.
In addition, it is recommended that you avoid a
left /right setting difference of more than 3.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28. F
P
ush the button down until
"LO" is displayed or up until
"HI" is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there is no
need to alter the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning is designed to operate
efficiently in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It allows you:
-
i
n summer, to lower the temperature,
-

i
n winter, above 3°C, to improve demisting.

Lighting control stalk
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamp dipped beams must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.

-. 5 people + maximum authorised load.
2. Driver + maximum authorised load.
The initial setting is position 0 .
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
In daytime running lamps, the diodes are
b r i g h t e r.
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
-

D
aytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at position " 0" or " AUTO " with
adequate light level).
-

S
idelamps (lighting control stalk in "
AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps
only" or "dipped/main beam headlamps").
Cornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the
vehicle speed is below 25


mph (approximately
40
km/h) (urban driving, winding road,
intersections, parking manoeuvres, etc.).

If you purchased your vehicle outside the
Brand network, we invite you to have the
configuration of these ser vices checked
and, if desired, have a dealer change it to
suit your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices to customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
telematic system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC). It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This 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 Traction
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.
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 on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The 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.
Safety

79
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
When lit up fixed, this warning lamp
indicates a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, an audible signal
and a message, it means that the
electronic brake force distribution
(EBD) is defective.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly. In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
Deactivation
You must stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Deactivating using the button
F P ress this button.
The button indicator lamp comes on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.

Reactivation
Deactivation can be configured in
the Driving / Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 30

mph (50 km/h).
Below 30

mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.
For the 1.6 THP 165 and THP 208 petrol
engines, the reactivation must always be
carried out manually.

reactivate manually.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off. Reactivating using the touch screen
Reactivation can be configured in
the Driving / Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked. ASR / DSC
These 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 conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation 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.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
Deactivating using the touch screen
The systems no longer have an effect on
engine operation.
