Trailer stability assist
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 detect oscillations (snaking) in the 
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
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 To w i n g  
a  trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball pack).
The correction is signalled by the 
flashing of this indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel and illumination of 
the brake lamps.
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.
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. The trailer stability assist system offers 
increased safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on 
towing a trailer are observed. It should 
not encourage the driver to take risks, 
such as towing a trailer in adverse 
operating conditions (overloading, 
failure to observe the trailer nose 
weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, 
faulty braking system, ….) 
  or drive at 
too high a speed.
In certain certain cases, oscillation of 
the trailer may not be detected by the 
ESC system, particularly with a light 
t r a i l e r.
When driving on slippery or poor 
sur faces, the system may not be able to 
prevent sudden snaking of the trailer.

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.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the 
corresponding section. 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 avoid 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 Adjusting the 
headlamp beam height , refer to the 
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT 
towbar is used.
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 lower the engine speed, reduce your 
speed.
The 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.

Deactivation / ActivationOperating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted 
by the illumination of this warning 
lamp, accompanied by the display of 
a message and an audible signal.
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 mask the camera's view.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud, 
snow, ...
If the front bumper is to be repainted, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. Certain types of 
paint could inter fere with the operation 
of the radar.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are 
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 
system checked.
By default, the system is automatically 
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in 
the vehicle settings menu in the screen.
Deactivation of the system is 
signalled by the illumination of this 
indicator lamp, accompanied by the 
display of a message. There may be interference in the 
operation of the camera or it may not 
work at all in the following situations:
-
 
p
 oor visibility (inadequate street 
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, 
dense fog, ...),
-

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

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

Safety  

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.

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.
