Safety
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low 
levels of grip.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using 
engine braking and by applying the brakes on 
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It 
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability 
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are 
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck 
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, 
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR 
For technical reasons, in particular to 
improve the quality of telematic services 
for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the 
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's 
on-board telematic system at any time.
If you benefit from the Peugeot Connect 
Packs offer with the SOS and Assistance

Electronic stability control 
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme  includes the following systems:
–
 
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic 
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–
 
Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
–
 
Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
–
 
Dynamic stability control (DSC).
–
 
T
 railer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake 
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability 
and handling during braking, and enable greater 
control while cornering, particularly on poor or 
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by 
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the 
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with  the STOP and ABS warning lamps, 
accompanied by a message and an audible 
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may  result in slight vibrations in the brake 
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved for your 
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems  checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking 
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you 
to reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 
increase in braking efficiency.
Intelligent traction control 
system
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system 
to help with driving on snow:  intelligent traction 
control.
This system detects situations of poor surface 
grip that could make it difficult to move off 
or make progress on deep fresh snow or 
compacted snow.
In these situations, the system limits the amount 
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and 
trajectory control for the vehicle.  

91
Safety
5The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low 
levels of grip.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  / Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using 
engine braking and by applying the brakes on 
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It 
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability 
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s 
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the 
dynamic stability control system automatically 
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or 
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired 
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are 
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck 
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, 
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR 
system to freely spin the wheels and regain 
traction.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of 
grip permits.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch 
screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the 
illumination of this indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched back on or 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by 
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high 
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, 
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.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT 
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to 
ensure that these systems remain effective 
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be 
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) 
must not have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160
  km/h), if 
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the 
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes in the  instrument panel and the brake lamps 
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on towed loads and masses, 
refer to the Technical data section or your 
vehicle’s registration certificate

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.
To ensure complete safety while driving with 
a Towing device , refer to the corresponding 
section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce 
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers  enhanced safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on towing 
a trailer are observed. It should not 
encourage the driver to take risks, such as 
towing a trailer in adverse operating 
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the 
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive 
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
(Depending on version)
A special, patented traction control system, 
which improves driveability on snow, mud and 
sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
This system, which can be combined with all-
season M+S (Mud and Snow) tyres, offers a 
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness 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.
Whenever 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))
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

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

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).

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to 
protect you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the 
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 
vehicle at the moment of collision.
The airbags do not operate when the 
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same or a 
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be 
deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed, 
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 
incorporated in the system makes a noise and 
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience slight irritation.
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.
The detonation noise associated with the 
deployment of one or more airbags may result 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags 
 
This system protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 
in order to limit the risk of head and chest 
injuries.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
The front airbags are adaptive. In  particular, they inflate less firmly in the 
presence of a smaller occupant, with the seat 
set in a forward longitudinal position.
Deployment
They deploy, except the front passenger airbag 
if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front 
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and 
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the 
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, 
passenger's side, to cushion their forward 
movement.
Lateral airbags 
 
This system protects the driver and front 
passenger in the event of a serious side impact 
to mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between 
the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest 
frame, door side.
