Ease of use and comfort
3If the interior temperature is very high 
after the vehicle has stood for a long 
time in the sunshine, air the passenger 
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high 
enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly 
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
►
 
Ensure that the passenger compartment 
filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly
.
We recommend using a composite passenger 
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active 
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the 
air breathed by the occupants and keep the 
passenger compartment clean (by reducing 
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits).

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

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.
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

Driving
Driving 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.
►
 
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.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
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

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
