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.

General points relating to
child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
-

tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear

-

A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
-
"rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
-
"forward facing " over the age of 3. Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
In the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat.
Refit the head restraint once the child seat
has been removed.
Child seat at the front
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle seat to the fully back and highest
position, with the backrest straightened.
The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .

Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
Towing device
Load distribution
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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function, if a towing
device other than a genuine PEUGEOT
one is installed, it is imperative to visit
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function failure.
Certain driving assistance or
manoeuvring assistance functions are
automatically disabled if an approved
towbar is used. Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, the
manufacturer's label as well as in the
Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate
closed.
