recommendations for the
sliding side doors
The doors must only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for that of your
passengers, as well as for correct
operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate the
door and in particular, be sure not to leave
children or animals near the door controls
without supervision.
The audible warning, the illumination
of the "door open" warning lamp and
the message on the screen are there to
remind you. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have this
warning deactivated.
Lock the vehicle when using an automatic
car wash. Before opening or closing or per forming
any movement of the doors, ensure that
no person, animal or object is in the
window frame or could block the desired
movement, inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a part of the body or
an object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically
above 2 mph (3
km/h ):

exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off
and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
The lighting goes off when you switch off
the ignition, but you can always switch it
on again using the lighting control stalk.
In good or rainy weather, by both day and
night, use of the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.

Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is however recommended that the systems
be reactivated as soon as possible. These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from
31 mph (50
km/h).
However, below 31 mph (50 km/h), the systems
can be reactivated manually.
Deactivating using button or Grip control

Safety

112
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, black 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.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, whose operation has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during passenger vehicle use).
Associated with all-seasons Peak Mountain
Snow Flake tyres, this system offers a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
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.
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, accompanied by the display of a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
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.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered for each
of the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
Safety

113
All-terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with
the least grip to optimise clearing of the
mud and to regain grip. At the same
time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit
as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two
driving wheels at the same time to allow
the vehicle to move for ward and limit
the risks of getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. The ASR and DSC systems can be
deactivated by turning the knob to
the "
OFF" position.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50
km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

Safety

116
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the
w arning lamp(s) flashes for two minutes,
accompanied by an audible signal. Beyond
these two minutes, the warning lamp(s)
remains on if the driver or front passenger do
not fasten their seat belt(s). Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified
workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
