Grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
Standard (ESC)
F Place the knob in this position.
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.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on to confirm your choice.
Associated with all-seasons Peak
Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system
offers a compromise between safety, grip
and traction. These tyres are efficient in
winter and summer conditions. This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel
spin, based on the different levels of grip
normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.

Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure (including the spare
wheel) every month as well as before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes early tyre wear, particularly in
adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
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 (when hot), add 0.3
bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an
under-inflation detection sensor.

The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.
Réinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation. Initialisation of the system is done with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
The new pressure parameters saved are
treated as reference values by the system.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Ser vice warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Press on " Ye s" to Confirm the command,
initialisation is confirmed by an audible signal
and a message.

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 towing arm; 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
