Braking assistance
systems
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-

e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.If you need to brake in an emergency,
press very firmly and maintain this
pressure.
Malfunction
Stationary vehicle If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates an anti-lock braking
system malfunction that could cause
control of the vehicle to be lost
during braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Safety

49
The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when switching on (ON position).
If it does not go out or come on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Moving vehicle If this warning lamp remains on
constantly, it indicates an anti-lock
braking system malfunction that
could cause control of the vehicle to
be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If both these warning lamps come
on, they indicate a malfunction in the
electronic brake force distribution
that could cause control of the
vehicle to be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they comply with manufacturer
recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency. In emergency braking, press very firmly
and maintain this pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of
the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
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. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can regain grip.
F

P
ress this button until the corresponding
symbol appears in the instrument panel.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and DSC systems are
deactivated.

Safety

50
Excessive wheel slippage may damage
the differential of your vehicle.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated
automatically.
F
P
ress the button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates reactivation of the ASR and DSC
systems.
Operating fault
Illumination of these warning lamps
in the instrument panel indicates
malfunction of these systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /DSC systems
checked. Although the ASR /DSC systems help
improve safety in normal driving, they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The risk of loss of traction increases in
conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice). For your safety, you should therefore
keep these systems activated at all times,
particularly in poor conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observing the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), braking system components
and electronic components, as well as
assembly and repair procedures used by
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine brake reduction
indicator lamp
Your vehicle is equipped with a system for the
recovery of energy during deceleration which
uses the engine brake.
It recovers into the traction battery some of the
energy generated when the vehicle slows down
(e.g. on a long descent) to improve the range
of the battery and so the distance that can be
travelled between charges.
When the traction battery has been charged
fully and for the first few miles (or kilometres) of
use of the vehicle, the engine brake is reduced
temporarily.
This indicator lamp flashes on the
instrument panel, inviting you to
adapt your driving accordingly.
We therefore recommend that you anticipate
your braking as much as possible: use the
brake pedal to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Safety

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the steering wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied – Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6 inches (15
cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h).
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of all four tyres from when the
ignition is switched on.
The pressure sensors are located in the valves
of each tyre.
The system triggers an alert as soon as
it detects a drop in the pressure of one or
more tyres by comparison with the reference
pressure stored in the system. This reference
pressure must be reinitialised after every tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system operates provided that the
sensor identifiers have been first logged by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can log two sets of tyres (for example:
wheels with "all weather" tyres and wheels with
"winter" tyres).
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Recharging the main
battery
Two types of charging are available: normal or
fast.
Normal charging is the preferred procedure; it
is carried out via a domestic electricity network.
Fast charging is carried out via a compatible
fast charging point.
Normal charging
* (e.g. for France: Standard NF C 15 -100)During charging
, if you have a
pacemaker or another electric
medical device, you must not
stay inside or close to the
vehicle, the charging cable,
the charging unit or just the
charging point, even for a short
time.
It is crucial to speak to your
doctor and find out about the
precautions to take, and to
respect them. Before making any connection, check that
the electrical installation that you want to
use meets standards* and is compatible
with the amperage of your control unit.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
There are power points available that are
designed specifically for charging electric
vehicles.
For power points dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the corresponding
installation recommendations.
In all cases, it is recommended that
you first have an initial check and then
regular checks on your installation
carried out by a qualified electrician.
In most European countries, PEUGEOT
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can offer a
check and update of your electrical
installation. For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Use only the original PEUGEOT charging
cable.
