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.

Under-inflation detection
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.This system does not relieve you of
the monthly check of the tyre inflation
pressures (including the spare) and before
a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption. The tyre pressure measurement unit can be
configured with the MODE
button: in the "Tyre
pressure measurement" menu, select "psi/bar/
k Pa".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Under-inflation warning
This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of this lamp,
an audible signal and, depending on
the equipment installed, a message
displayed on the screen.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a

drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. In the event of a
problem with one of the tyres,
depending on equipment the symbol or the
message appears to identify it.

R

educe speed immediately, avoid excessive
steering movements and sudden braking.
-

top as soon as possible, as traffic
conditions allow.
-

I

n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).
-

I

n the event of under-inflation:
•

i

f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit)
check the pressures of the four tyres
when cold.
or
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1

hour or after a

journey of less than
6

miles (10

km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3

bar to the values
indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings , including in particular the tyre
pressure label, refer to the corresponding
section.
Driving

• if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed and go to the nearest
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified
workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a
visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted with a tyre.
Rear parking sensors,
audible assistance
If your vehicle is so equipped, the system
consists of four proximity sensors, installed in
the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: a person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain types of object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre if they are located in
the blind spots between and below the sensors. For example, a post, roadworks cone or
pavement bollard.
The rear parking sensor system may be linked
with the reversing camera.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Take even greater care if you reverse with
the rear doors open.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
F Engage reverse gear using the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

To w i n g
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a
vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a

ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks
to eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not try to charge a

frozen battery: it
must first be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has frozen,
before charging it have it checked by
a

specialist who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the case is not cracked, which could
mean that there is a

risk of a

leak of toxic
and corrosive acid.
Proceed with a

slow charge at low current
for a

maximum of about 24

hours to avoid
damaging the battery.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Go to the battery located in the front left
f l o o r.
F

D
isconnect the battery.
F

F
ollow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F

R
econnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal.
F

C
heck the condition of the terminals and
clamps. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposits), disconnect
them and clean them all.
After refitting of the battery by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a
continuous period
of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period
which depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the battery (up
to about 8
hours).
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
