Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a

f
ault with the anti-lock braking
system (ABS) which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates
a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system which
could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 310
miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking
distances. On very slippery sur faces (ice,
oil, etc.) the ABS may extend braking
distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal ver y hard and do not
release it, even on a slipper y sur face;
you will then be able to continue
steering the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.

trajectory problem.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message in the
instrument panel screen, indicates
a

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Switching on
This system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a grip or trajectory problem, this
system comes into play.
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.
F

P
ress this button to deactivate the system.
The button's warning lamp comes on
accompanied by a
message in the instrument
panel screen, indicating that the ASR system is
deactivated.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
F

P
ress this button again to reactivate it
manually.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a
fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. 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.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.

Releasing
When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on
indicates that the parking brake is
still applied or has not been fully
released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into operation
when reverse gear is engaged; an audible
signal is heard.
For more information on Rear parking
sensors , refer to the corresponding
section.
F

P

ull the lever up slightly and press the
button to release the parking brake lever.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on the engine or model, this system
allows fuel consumption to be reduced by
suggesting when to change up.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the system's
advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the form
of the SHIFT indicator, accompanied
by an upward arrow to signal to the
driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.
F

R

aise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce the
noise on engaging reverse gear.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after the vehicle has exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.
Special cases: STOP mode

The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the button indicator lamp going out and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault with the system, the
S top & Start system is deactivated and this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
a
message in the instrument panel screen.
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
In the event of a

malfunction in STOP mode, it
is possible to restart the engine by depressing
the clutch pedal fully or by putting the gear
lever into neutral. This system requires a
specific battery
with a


special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a
battery not approved by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For more information on the Battery , refer to
the corresponding section.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a
gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-

t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-

u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in
a


gear other than reverse,
-
do

wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a
driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.

Driving

96
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system
o ccurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message
in the screen. Have it checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop.
Traffic sign recognition
This system is a driving aid that uses a camera
l ocated at the top of the windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of signs
and displays the corresponding information in
the instrument panel:
-
sp

eed limits,
-

n
o overtaking,
-

e
nd of the above-mentioned limits/
restrictions.
The system detects the signs on the left and on
the right, low-mounted and high-mounted, as
well as overlapping signs.
The system detects only round signs.
Driving

97
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be set to those
for the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed
limit sign within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system:
-

R
egularly clean the area in front of the
camera.
-

D
o not carry out any repairs in the area
of the windscreen close to the camera
lens.
When replacing headlamp bulbs, you
are strongly recommended to fit genuine
replacement parts.
The use of other bulbs could reduce the
per formance of the system.
Principles Display in the touch screen
then in the instrument
panel
The signs are displayed in the following two
phases:
-

A
ll new recognised traffic signs are
displayed in the touch screen in the form of
a
pop-up for 40 seconds.
-

T
hese traffic signs are then displayed in the
instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs (speed
limit and no overtaking/end of no overtaking) at
the same time in the two specific areas of the
instrument panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such as
one for a
reduced speed limit when the road is
wet, this is displayed in an empty window below
the corresponding sign. Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads
speed limit and no overtaking traffic signs and
signs that indicate the end of these restrictions.
The sign is read by the camera, and then when
the vehicle passes it (at its level), it is displayed
in the instrument panel.
