 nsure that the passenger 
compartment filter is in good condition 
and have the filter elements replaced 
regularly. We recommend the use of 
a
 
combined passenger compartment 
filter. Thanks to its special active 
additive, it contributes to the purification 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanliness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, bad odours and greasy 
deposits). F

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
 
qualified workshop.
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 
w hich 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.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions 
allow. Deactivation of the function is done 
in the Vehicle/Driving
 menu of the 
touch screen.
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 
from the Vehicle/Driving  menu of 
the touch screen.
It is confirmed by the display of a
  message.
Operating fault
This is indicated by flashing of this 
warning lamp in the instrument 
panel. It is confirmed by the display of a
  message.
Illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of 
a   message and an audible signal, 
indicates a
  fault with the system.
Contact a
  PEUGEOT dealer or a   qualified 
workshop to have the systems checked. 
Safety  

127
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 (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.
The correction is signalled by the 
flashing of this indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel and illumination of 
the brake lamps.
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.
Malfunction
Should a fault occur with the system, 
t his 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.
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.

Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline

New vehicle
Do not pull a   trailer before having driven at least 
approximately 620
 
miles (1,000
 
 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp 
adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has 
a   secret code. When the ignition is switched 
on, this code must be recognised in order for 
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a
  break-in.
