Safety
5regain 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 forward 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.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob 
to the "OFF " position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer 
act on the operation of the engine or of the 
brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
The 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:
–
 
driving on terrain which could damage the 
underbody or strip away components (fuel 
pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due to obstacles or 
stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a waterway
 .
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, 
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in 
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the 
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the 
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope 
must be greater than 5   %.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is not available: –  if the speed of the vehicle is above 43 
mph (70
  km/h),
–
 
if the speed of the vehicle is being 
controlled by the 
Adaptive Cruise Control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the 
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary 
or when moving at speeds up to approximately 
31 mph (50
  km/h).
 
 
 
 
► To select the system, at speeds below 
31 mph (50   km/h), press this button until 
its green indicator lamp comes on; this lamp

► The system becomes active at speeds 
below 19 mph (30   km/h); this lamp comes 
on in green in the instrument panel.
►
 
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the 
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear , 
the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes rapidly,
–
 
if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal 
is depressed, the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the 
maintained descent speed is lower.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you 
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the 
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle 
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the 
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30
  km/h), 
regulation is paused automatically, the 
indicator
  lamp goes back to grey in the 
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in 
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the 
speed falls below 19 mph (30
  km/h) again, if the 
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal 
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes 
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel 
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70
  km/h), the system 
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in 
the button goes off.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the system, this 
warning lamp comes on in green, 
accompanied by the display of a message in the 
instrument panel.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel 
which allows the strap length to automatically 
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its 
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which 
automatically locks the strap in the event of a 
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls 
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly 
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a 
frontal 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.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat 
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving 
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic 
pretensioner device may trigger before 
and independently of airbag deployment. 
Deployment of the pretensioners is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes 
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system and force limiter.

Driving
6Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
 
Monitor your environment and keep your 
hands on the wheel to be able to react to 
anything that may happen any time.
►
 
Drive smoothly
 , anticipate the need for 
braking and maintain a longer safety distance, 
especially in bad weather.
►
 
Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that 
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►
 
During long trips, take a break every two 
hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a 
closed space without sufficient 
ventilation.  Internal combustion engines emit 
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature 
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 
minutes before moving off, to ensure the 
correct operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your vehicle 
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied . Risk of overheating and 
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable 
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.).  The 
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, 
even several minutes after the engine stops. 
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended with 
the engine running.  If you have to leave 
your vehicle with the engine running, apply 
the parking brake and put the gearbox into 
neutral or position  N or P (depending on the 
type of gearbox).
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage to 
the internal combustion engine or electric motor, 
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the 
vehicle.
 
 
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► Check that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15   cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users.
►
 
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
 
For hybrid engines, place the mode selector 
in 
4WD position (depending on version).
►
 
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In 
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
  km/h).
►
 
Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions 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.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density 
of the air decreases with altitude and the 
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before 
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000 
kilometres).  

11 4
Driving
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to 
the reserve level, the system switches to energy 
economy mode : the power supply is cut off 
automatically to preserve the remaining battery 
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever 
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
►  With an automatic gearbox, place the gear 
selector in mode  N or P then fully depress the 
brake pedal.
►  Insert the key into the ignition switch; the 
system recognises the code.
►  Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply 
significant force to move the steering 
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).
►  With a petrol engine , operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position  3 without 
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine 
starts. Once the engine starts, release the key.
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations for 
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with 
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
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 the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine 
immobiliser system, whose secret code must be 
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Starting / Switching off the 
engine with the key
Key ignition switch 
 
It has 3 positions:
–  1. Stop: inserting and removing the key , 
steering column locked.

To facilitate unlocking of the steering column, it is recommended that the 
wheels be returned to the straight ahead 
position before switching off the engine.
Never switch off the ignition before the 
complete immobilisation of the vehicle. 
With the engine off, the braking and steering 
assistance systems are also cut off - risk of 
loss of control of the vehicle!
Check that the parking brake is correctly 
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
When leaving the vehicle, keep the key in 
your possession and lock the vehicle.
Energy economy mode
After the engine has stopped (position  1. Stop), 
for a maximum combined duration of about thirty 
minutes, you can still use functions such as the 
audio and telematics system, courtesy lamps, 
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, 
etc.
