General safety
recommendations
Labels are affixed in different locations on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
and vehicle identification information. Do
not remove them: they are an integral part
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.We draw your attention to the following
points:
-

T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-

A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined
by the manufacturer will result in
the suspension of the legal and
contractual


warranties.Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for the specifications of compatible
transmitters (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Hazard warning lamps
F When you press this red button, all four
direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Safety

136
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the indicator
lamp P in the control lever of the electric
parking brake are on fixed.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its operation.
Operation
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal:
-
p
rovided you are in first gear or neutral on a
manual gearbox.
-

p
rovided you are in mode D or M with an
automatic gearbox. Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
lamps come on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Active Suspension
Control
This suspension can modulate itself to the
following parameters: state and profile of the
road, load of the vehicle, driving style and
selected driving mode.
The mode can be selected using the driving
modes control on the central console.
For more information on the Driving modes
,
refer to the corresponding section. It is managed by a control unit, which interprets
the data transmitted by different sensors to
apply the optimal level of damping to each
shock absorber according to these parameters.
It offers three modes: Comfort , Normal and
Sport .
In Comfort mode, it favours soft damping to
improve comfort on poor road sur faces.
In Normal mode, it offers the best compromise
between comfort and handling.
In Sport mode, it favours firm damping to limit
body movements.
Driving modes
These various driving modes offered
correspond to specific vehicle settings.
This choice of driving modes depends on the
vehicle’s equipment.
Each time the ignition is switched on, " Normal"
is selected by default.

"ECO" mode
This reduces fuel consumption, but limits
the performance of the heating and air
conditioning, without however deactivating
them.
Free-wheeling in " ECO" mode: depending on
version, with the EAT8 gearbox, moving into
"free-wheeling" is encouraged to slow the
vehicle down without using engine braking. You can economise on fuel by taking your foot
fully off the accelerator pedal to anticipate
slowing down.
"Comfort" mode
(with Active Suspension Control)
Allows for more comfortable driving and a
softer action of the suspension.
"Normal" mode
To return to the vehicle’s original settings.Together with Active Suspension Control, it
offers the best compromise between comfort
and handling.
"Sport" mode
Depending on version, it allows more dynamic
driving.
Permanent "Manual" mode
(with automatic gearbox and Full Park
Assist)
It allows the manual changing of gears using
the steering wheel-mounted paddles.

The colour of the symbol depends on the
operating state of the system:(grey colour)
At least one of the operating
conditions is not met, the system
is


paused.
(green colour)
All operating conditions are met,
the
system is active.
(orange colour)
The system has a fault.
The action is confirmed by:
-

I
llumination of the green button indicator lamp.
-
D
isplay of the following symbol in the
instrument panel.
If the driver no longer wishes to benefit from
the system, they can deactivate it by pressing
the


button again.
The button indicator lamp goes off and the
symbol disappears from the instrument panel.
Regulation
The driver must hold the steering wheel properly.
When regulation is activated, the symbol is
displayed in green: by small steering actions,
the system directs the vehicle and keeps it in the
position chosen by the driver, in the traffic lane.
The driver can feel movements in the steering
wheel. This position is not necessarily the centre of the
lane.
The driver can change the position of the vehicle
at any time, by turning the steering wheel. When
the driver feels that the vehicle’s position is
appropriate, whilst keeping hands on the steering
wheel, they must release the pressure to let
the system resume control of the steering, but
the vehicle will not get centred within the lane
automatically.
Pausing/Suspension of the
system
The driver must inter vene as soon as they
believe that the traffic conditions or state
of the road sur face make this necessary
by moving the steering wheel to suspend
the system temporarily. Pressing the brake
pedal to pause the cruise control will also
pause the system.
If the system detects that the driver is
not holding the wheel firmly enough, it
triggers a series of gradual alerts and then
deactivates if there is no reaction from the
driver.
Automatic pausing:
-

T
riggering of the ESC.
-
P
rolonged failure to detect one of the lane
markings. In this case, the Active Lane
Keeping Assistance function can take over,
and the system will reactivate itself once the
operating conditions are met once again.
On action by the driver: suspension
- A ctivation of the direction indicators.
-
T

ravelling outside the lane limits.
-

T
oo tight a grip on the steering wheel or
dynamic action on the steering wheel.
-

A
ction on the brake pedal (pausing the
cruise control until its reactivation) or
accelerator pedal (suspension during
the
time when the pedal is pressed).
-

P
ausing the cruise control.
-

D
eactivation of the ASR.
After suspension due to the prolonged
release of pressure holding the steering
wheel, you must reactivate the function by
pressing the button again.
