Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.

If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Precautions in use
In wintry conditions
In the event of an accumulation of snow
on the tailgate, clear the snow before
commanding a motorised opening of the
tailgate.
The formation of ice can block the tailgate
and prevent its opening: wait until the ice
melts with the heating of the passenger
compartment.
When washing
When washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle
to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.
Recommendations related
to the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds
before trying again.
The function automatically deactivates in heavy
rain or following a build-up of snow.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic
pollution (smartphone, etc.).
The function may not work correctly with a
prosthetic leg.
The function may not work correctly if your
vehicle is fitted with a towbar. -

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
A set of the following Electronic Stability
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
-

t
railer stability assist (TSA).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
linked with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
For technical reasons and, in particular,
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices ser vices to
customers, the manufacturer reserves the
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system.
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6 mph
(10

km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.

A
ctive 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.
The system is active from about 4 mph (7 km/h)
a nd is deactivated below about 3 mph (5 km/h).
It takes account of:
-

v
ehicles running in the same direction or
stationary,
-

p
edestrians 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 avoid the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
As soon as the system detects a potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a slight noise and a sense of
deceleration.
