General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.We draw your attention to the following
points:
-
T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-
A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-
A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

the force of deceleration, the hazard warning
lamps come on automatically. They switch off
automatically when you next accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by pressing
the button.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS/EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
and the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery sur faces (ice, oil, etc.), the
ABS may increase the braking distance. When
braking in an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal firmly without releasing
the pressure, even on a slippery sur face; you
will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.If this warning lamp comes on
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution,
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.To maintain operation of the emergency
braking assistance system, press very
firmly on the brake pedal, maintaining this
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt
by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved by
P E U G E O T.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
c ont rol (ESC)
These systems are associated with and
complementary to the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for maintaining
optimum traction and avoiding loss of control of
the vehicle during acceleration.
This system optimises traction to prevent the
wheels from skidding by acting on the brakes
of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
With the ESC system, maintain the direction
without attempting to steer in the opposite
direction.

Operation
The warning lamp flashes when the
ASR or ESC is triggered.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
ASR and ESC systems, so that the wheels can
spin and regain grip.F
P
ress the button or turn the
knob to the ESC OFF position
(depending on version).
The LED lights up: the ASR and ESC systems
are deactivated.
They reactivate again:
-
a
utomatically above 31 mph (50 km/h),
If there is a difference between the path followed
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the
ESC system automatically acts on the brake of
one or more wheels and on the engine to return
the vehicle to the required path.
- manually when you press the button again or turn the knob
to this position (depending on
ve r s i o n).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
systems, the warning lamp and the
LED come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of
each tyre.
Although the ASR /ESC systems help to
improve safety in normal driving, they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems
is ensured if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and the fitting and
repair procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during passenger car use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Safety
Page 119 of 252

81
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low
level of wheel spin, based on the
different levels of grip normally
encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to the ESC mode.
ESC OFF
This mode is only suitable for
special conditions when moving off
or at low speed.
When exceeding 31
mph (50 km/h),
the system automatically resets to
the ESC mode.
Snow
This mode adapts to the conditions
of grip encountered for each of the
two front wheels when moving off.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to ensure the best acceleration possible with
the available traction.
All terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with
the least grip to optimise clearing of
the mud and regain grip.
At the same time, the wheel with the most grip
is controlled in such a way as to transmit as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the
two driving wheels at the same time
to allow the vehicle to move for ward
and limit the risks of getting stuck in
the sand. Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, particularly when your vehicle is
heavily laden, it does not permit off-road
activities such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or
tear off components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.), in particular as a result of
obstacles or stones,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
