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.

Safety

Distance alert and Active Safety Brake
This system includes three functions:
- Distance alert (alert if there is a risk of 
collision),
-   Intelligent emergency braking assistance,
-  Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency 
b r ak ing).
Distance alert:  it warns the driver if their 
vehicle is at risk of collision with the vehicle in 
front or a pedestrian present in their traffic lane.
Intelligent emergency braking assistance : 
it supplements the braking action taken by the 
driver if this is inadequate.
Active Safety Brake: it intervenes following 
the alert if the driver does not react quickly 
enough and does not operate the vehicle's 
brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes 
towards avoiding a collision or limiting 
its severity by reducing the speed of your 
vehicle.
Activation and operating conditions
The vehicle has a camera located at the top of 
the windscreen, and depending on the version, 
a radar located in the front bumpers.
The system is activated from about 4 mph 
(7 km/h) and is deactivated below about 3 mph 
(5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-  registered vehicles running in the same 
direction or stationary,
-  pedestrians in the traffic lane (bicycles, 
motorcycles, animals and objects on the 
road are not necessarily detected). This system is designed to assist the 
driver and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to 
continuously monitor the state of the 
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
This system does not replace the need for 
vigilance on the part of the driver.

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.
6 
Driving  

16
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. 
Driving  

17
If the camera and/or radar have 
confirmed the presence of a vehicle 
or a pedestrian, this warning lamp 
flashes once the function is acting on 
the vehicle's brakes.
Important: if operation of the 
automatic emergency braking is 
triggered, you must take back control 
of your vehicle and brake  with the 
pedal to supplement or finish the 
automatic braking action.
The driver can take back control of the vehicle 
at any time by sharply turning the steering 
wheel and/or pressing the accelerator pedal. The point at which braking is triggered 
may be adjusted according to the reaction 
from the driver, such as movement of the 
steering wheel or pressing the accelerator 
pedal.
Operation of the function 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.
With a manual gear box, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the 
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the 
engine may stall.
With an automatic gear box, in the event 
of automatic emergency braking until 
the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
maintain the brake pedal down to stop the 
vehicle from starting off again.Specific conditions for operation
The vehicle's speed must be between 3 mph 
and 53 mph (5km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with 
camera alone) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions 
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle 
is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 50 mph 
(80km/h) when a stopped vehicle is detected.
The vehicle's speed must not exceed 37 mph 
(60 km/h) when a pedestrian is detected.
The ESC system must not be defective.
The CDS must not be deactivated.
All passengers seatbelts must be fastened.
Driving at steady speed on roads with few 
bends is required. After an impact, the function automatically 
stops operating. Consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked.
