heating, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.Changing the battery
F Unclip the case.
F  Replace the battery observing the 
polarities.
F  Reset the remote control.
The remote control is powered by a 6V-28L 
battery which is provided.
Information on the screen indicates when this 
battery needs to be changed.

the battery, the remote control must be reset.
F 
After turning on the power, within the next 
5 seconds, press button 4 for 1 second.
If the operation is successful, the message 
"OK " will be displayed on the remote 
control's screen.
If there is a fault, the message " FA I L" will 
appear.

Trailer stability assist
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must 
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h), 
if the system detects swaying movements in 
the trailer, it acts on the brakes to stabilise the 
trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power 
to slow down the vehicle.The correction is signalled by the 
flashing of the indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel and activation of the 
brake lights.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system, 
this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel, accompanied by 
the display of a message and an 
audible signal. The trailer stability assist system 
offers increased safety in normal 
driving conditions, provided that the 
recommendations on towing a trailer are 
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver 
to take additional risks, such as towing 
a trailer in adverse operating conditions 
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer 
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, 
faulty braking system, etc.) or drive at too 
high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer 
may not be detected by the ESC system, 
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces, 
the system may not be able to prevent 
sudden swaying of the trailer.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your 
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
For information on the weights and towed 
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or 
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing a 
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.

Operating limits
In the following cases, deactivating the 
system via the vehicle's configuration menu is 
recommended:
- when towing a trailer,
-  when carrying long objects on roof bars or 
a roof rack,
-  before using an automatic car wash, with 
the engine running,
-  before placing the vehicle on a rolling road 
in a workshop,
-  when the vehicle is being towed, with the 
engine running,
-  when a "space-saver" type spare wheel is 
fitted (depending on version),
-   following impact damage to the windscreen 
close to the detection camera,
-  if the front bumper has been damaged,
-  if the brake lamps are not working. Because of limits in the operation of the 
system, it is possible that warnings are 
not given, are given too late or seem 
unjustified.
Consequently, the driver must always 
remain attentive and able to react at any 
time to avoid an accident.
Distance alert
Depending on the degree of risk of collision 
detected by the system and the alert threshold 
chosen by the driver, different levels of 
alert can be triggered and displayed in the 
instrument panel.
Level 1: visual alert only, signalling 
that the vehicle in front is very close.
The message " Vehicle close" is 
displayed.
This level of alert is based on the inter-vehicle 
time between your vehicle and the vehicle in 
front. Level 2: visual and audible alert, 
warning you that a collision is 
imminent.
The message " Brake!" is displayed.
This level of alert is based on the time before 
collision. It takes into account the vehicle 
dynamics, the speed of your vehicle and the 
one in front, the environmental conditions, the 
operating conditions of the vehicle (on a cur ve, 
pedals pressed, etc.) to trigger the alert at the 
relevant moment.

Where the speed of your vehicle is too 
high approaching another vehicle, the first 
level of alert may not be displayed: the 
level 2 alert may be displayed directly.
Important: alert level 1 is never displayed 
when the " Close" trigger threshold has 
been selected.
Modifying the alert trigger 
threshold
This threshold determines how you wish 
to be alerted of the presence of a moving 
or stationary vehicle in front of you, or a 
pedestrian present in your traffic lane.
The current threshold can be modified via the 
vehicle configuration menu.
You can select one of three thresholds:
- " Distant ",
- " Normal ",
- " Close ".
The last threshold selected is kept in memory 
when the ignition is switched off.
Intelligent emergency 
braking assistance
If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently to avoid 
a collision, this system will supplement the 
braking, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This assistance will only be provided if you 
press the brake pedal.
Active Safety Brake
This function, also called automatic emergency 
braking, aims to reduce the speed of impact or 
avoid a frontal collision with your vehicle where 
the driver fails to react.
Using a radar and a camera, depending on 
the version, this function acts on the vehicle's 
braking system.

Deactivation / Activation
By default, the system is automatically 
activated at every engine start-up.
The system can be deactivated or activated via 
the vehicle settings menu.Deactivation of the system is 
signalled by the illumination of this 
indicator lamp, accompanied by the 
display of a message. Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud, 
snow, etc.
If the front bumper is to be repainted or 
retouched, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop. Certain types of 
paint could inter fere with the operation of 
the radar.
Operating fault
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are 
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow, etc.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop to have the system 
checked.In the event of a fault with the system, 
you are alerted by the tell-tale lighting 
up, accompanied by the display of a 
message and an audible signal.
The camera my be disrupted or not work 
in the following situations:
-  poor visibility (inadequate street 
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, 
dense fog, etc.),
-  dazzle (headlamps of an oncoming 
vehicle, low sun, reflections on 
a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light, etc.),
-  obstruction of the camera or radar 
(mud, frost, snow, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance 
may be reduced.
