Ease of use and comfort
The load space cover roller can be stored behind 
the backrests of the 3rd row seats.
For more information on the  Interior fittings, 
and in particular the load space cover roller, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Storing the seats 
 
► Straighten the continuity panels of the 2nd row 
seats.
►
 
Put the head restraints in the low position.
►
 
Check that the seat belts in the 3rd row are 
properly stored along the side trims without 
being folded or twisted.
►
 
Pull red strap 
F, located at the bottom of the 
backrest.
The seat is unlocked.
►
 
Push the backrest slightly forwards.
The backrest tilts and folds back on the cushion; 
the folded seat is stored at the back of its 
storage area.
► Put the concertina panels back above the 
folded seats.
Before doing anything to the 3rd row 
seats, straighten the continuity panels of 
the 2
nd row seats.
Do not try to fold back a seat in the 3rd row 
without having opened it until the backrest is 
fully locked.
Do not leave anything on or underneath the 
3
rd row seats when they are being folded.
Do not guide strap  F when storing the seat - 
your fingers may get jammed!
Removing the seats
Removing the right-hand seat first is 
recommended in order to facilitate access to the 
left-hand seat unlocking control.
 
 
The seat must be in the folded-away position.
These operations must be performed from the 
boot sill.
►
 
Fold back the concertina panel. 
 
► Lift the yellow lever  G , located on the right-
hand side, as far upwards as possible to unlock 
the seat.
 
 
► While keeping the yellow lever held at the 
top, raise the rear part of the seat using the red 
strap 
F.
 
 
► Once the rear part of the seat has been 
raised, take hold of each side of the seat 
cushion, at the plastic covers, then bring the seat 
towards you, keeping it at the same angle.
Repositioning the seats
These operations must be performed from the 
boot sill.
As long as the seat is not in the correct  position, it must be held with both hands 
by the sides, keeping it folded.
►  Check in advance that the seat storage well 
is empty and that the removable support is 
properly secured against the front wall.

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 
Pack included, there are additional services 
available to you in your personal space, via 
the website for your country.

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.

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

Practical information
AdBlue® (BlueHDi) 
 
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the performance or fuel 
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT 
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles 
with a system that associates SCR (Selective 
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter 
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue® that contains urea, 
a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of nitrogen 
oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water, which are 
harmless to health and the environment.
The AdBlue® is contained in  a special 
tank holding about 17 litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of 
approximately 5,600 miles (9,000 km),  highly 
dependent on your driving style.
An alert system is triggered automatically once 
the reserve level is reached: you can then drive 
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any  maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine servicing. However, in the event of a 
problem, do not hesitate to have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
For more information on the  Electric 
parking brake, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of 
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles 
used in town, over short distances. It may be 
necessary to have the condition of the brakes 
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the 
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads 
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may 
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and 
defrost them.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake disc 
wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  including the spare wheel, must be 
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure 
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven 
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles 
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50
  km/h), add 
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the 
label.
Under-inflation increases fuel 
consumption. Non-compliant tyre 
pressure causes premature wear on tyres and 
has an adverse effect on the vehicle's road 
holding - risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the 
braking and road holding performance of the 
vehicle. It is recommended to regularly check the 
condition of the tyres (tread and sidewalls) and 
wheel rims as well as the presence of the valves.
When the wear indicators no longer appear set 
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is  less than 1.6 mm; it is imperative to replace the 
tyres.
Using different size wheels and tyres from those 
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel 
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer 
reading and have an adverse effect on road 
holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles 
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when 
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless, 
the shock absorbers have a major impact on 
road-holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is 
important to have them regularly checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
Timing and accessory kits are used from 
the time the engine is started until it is 
switched off. It is normal for them to wear over 
time.
A
 faulty timing or accessory kit can damage 
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the 
recommended replacement frequency, stated in 
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is 
reached first.
