Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

Intelligent traction control
system
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of poor sur face
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of adhesion.
Anti-slip regulation
(ASR) / Dynamic stability
control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip. Deactivation of the function is done
in the Vehicle / Driving
menu of the
touch screen.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel. Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31
mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
Reactivation of the function is done

Safety

126
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, 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.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 control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detects 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 Towing a
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
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,
provided that the recommendations on
towing a trailer are obser ved. It should
not encourage the driver to take 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, oscillation 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 snaking of the trailer.
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps. 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.

Advanced 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 touring use).
Associated with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, adhesion and traction.
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, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
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 this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to
the conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front wheels on
moving off.
(mode active up to 50
mph (80 km/h))
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 to 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.
(mode active up to 31
mph (50 km/h))
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.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. F
P
lace the knob in this position.

Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft sur faces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle when descending,
whether going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed, depending
on the gear engaged, while progressively
releasing the brakes.For the system to activate, the slope must
be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox
in neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding
to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
can be used with the selector at N , D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated. The system is not available:
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is above
43 mph (70 km/h),
- i f the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the Adaptive cruise
control with Stop function, depending
on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The system's status is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when
the engine is running, when the vehicle is
stationary or moving at speeds up to approx.
31
mph (50 km/h).
F
T
o select the system, at a
speed below 31
mph (50 km/h),
press this button until its green
indicator lamp comes on; this
warning lamp comes on in grey
in the instrument panel.
You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "
OFF" position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
act on the engine operation or the brakes
in the event of an involuntary change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31
mph (50
km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
