Dynamic stability control
(DSC) and anti-slip
regulation (ASR)
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
Press this button or turn the dial to
this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or dial comes
on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer act on the
operation of the engine.
Deactivating using touch screen
Reactivating using button or Grip control Press this button.
Or Turn the dial to this position. The indicator lamp in the button or dial goes off.
In the " Driving/Vehicle " menu,
deactivate the DSC/ASR systems.
This is confirmed by the illumination
of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a
message.
The systems no longer have an effect on
engine operation. Reactivating using touch screen
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system. In the "
Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate the DSC/ASR systems.
This is confirmed by this indicator
lamp going out in the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

Safety

140
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the ignition is
switched on, this code must be recognised in
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.

Operating fault
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3
rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-
i
f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time (braking or
acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.), position
the selector on N and apply the parking
brake. If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
do not try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Electronic gearbox
Electronic gearbox with 6 speeds, with
electronic management of gear changes. It
also offers a manual mode with sequential gear

mode, without any action needed from the
driver. It continuously selects the gear best
adapted to the following parameters:
-

riving style,
-
p
rofile of the road. For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking another
vehicle, press the accelerator
pedal fully down.
Temporary manual control of
gear changes
It is possible to temporarily take control of the
gear changes using the " +" and " -" steering
mounted controls. The gear change instruction
is acted on if the engine speed permits.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
Manual operation
F After starting the engine, select position M for sequential gear changes.
When the selector is moved, the indicator lamp
and the corresponding gear are displayed in

Time counter
A time counter adds up the time spent in
standby during a journey. It resets to zero every
time the ignition is switched on.
Special cases:
The engine does not go into standby if one of
the operating conditions is not met and in the
following cases.

indicates a fault with the system.
Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the
vehicle in all circumstances and must be
able to retake control of it at all times. The
driver must adapt the speed to climactic
conditions, traffic and the state of the
road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles
and to anticipate their movements before
indicating and changing lane.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of
the laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel with
both hands, always use the interior and
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the
feet close to the pedals and take a break
every two hours. Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the
surroundings of the vehicle before and
during the whole manoeuvre, in particular
using the mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the
associated functions may be impaired
through the accumulation of dirt (mud,
frost, etc.), in certain difficult weather
conditions (very heavy rain, snow) or if the
bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop; certain types of paint could
inter fere with the operation of the radar.
