For technical reasons and, in particular,
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices to customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
telematic system.
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
f ollowed 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)
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. 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).
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

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.

You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "OFF" 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.
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.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.

F When the vehicle begins its descent, you can release the accelerator and brake
pedals; the system regulates the speed:
-

i
f the gearbox is in first or
second gear, the speed
decreases and the warning lamp
flashes rapidly,
-

i
f the gearbox is in neutral or if
the clutch pedal is depressed,
the speed decreases and the
warning lamp flashes slowly;
in this case, the maintained
descent speed is lower. You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.Switching off

T

he system becomes active
at a

speed below 19

mph
(30

km/h); this warning lamp
comes on in green in the
instrument panel.
During a

descent, with the vehicle stationary, if
you release the accelerator and brake pedals,
the system will release the brakes to set the
vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when
the system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19

mph (30

km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the warning
lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel,
but the indicator lamp in the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19

mph (30

km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met. F

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
p retensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the buckle.
Safety

156
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
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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.
