Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic
Stability Control) integrating the following
systems:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),– emergency braking assistance (EBA),– wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,– dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and handling
of your vehicle when braking and contributes
towards improved control on bends, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
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 depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves the
directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path followed
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the
DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to return the vehicle to the required path,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in an instrument panel screen, it
indicates a fault with the anti-lock braking system
(ABS) which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
system which could result in loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden,
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter braking distances. On very slippery
surfaces (ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may extend
braking distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal very hard and do not
release it, even on a slipper surface; you
will then be able to continue steering the
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

5Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the DSC
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.


ASR

► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the function.
The illumination of the button indicator lamp,
accompanied by a message on the instrument
panel display screen, indicates that the ASR
system is deactivated.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel
display, indicates a malfunction of the ASR
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety in
normal driving, but they 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.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding as much
the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and
electronic components as the assembly
and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
Intelligent Traction Control
Traction assistance system on roads with low
grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.).
This system makes it possible to detect the
situations of precarious grip which can make the
starting and the progress of the vehicle difficult.
In these situations, the Intelligent Traction
Control system overrides the ASR system by
transferring the driving force to the wheel with
the greatest contact with the ground to optimise
traction and trajectory tracking.

Practical information
7For other versions, the second button is
replaced by a fuse; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel
fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country on the use of snow chains and
the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
205/70 R15 16 mm
215/70 R15 12 mm
225/70 R15 16 mm
215/75 R16 12 mm
225/75 R16 16 mm
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy

engine is running.
Do not charge a battery without disconnecting
the terminals first.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise. If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is recommended to disconnect the (-) terminal of the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is only indicative.
After prolonged battery disconnection, it may be
necessary to reinitialise the following functions:
– the display parameters (date, time, language, distance and temperature units),– the stations of the audio system,– the central locking.Some settings are cancelled and must be
entered once again; contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the vehicle is equipped with a tachograph or
an alarm, it is recommended that the (-) terminal of the battery (located under the floor on the
left-hand side, in the cab) be disconnected if the
vehicle is not going to be used for more than 5
days.
Starting using another
battery
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers on both
vehicles (audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not close
to the moving parts of the engine (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.

Audio system
11To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The lists are memorised: if they are
not modified, the subsequent loading time will
be shorter.
USB socket
Located on the central console, this
socket is used only to power and
recharge the connected portable device.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Connect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
First adjust the volume on your portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume on your
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.
The functions of the device connected to the
“AUX” socket are managed directly by this
device: it is therefore not possible to change the
track/folder/playlist or manipulate the playback
start/end/pause using the controls on the control
panel or the steering wheel.
Do not leave the cable of your portable device
connected to the “AUX” socket when not in use,
to avoid possible noise from the speakers.
Information and advice
The system supports USB Mass Storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players
via the USB sockets. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Other devices, not recognised by the system
during connection, must be connected to
the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable (not
supplied).
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20
characters, without using special characters (e.g.
" " ? . ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or display
problems.
Only use USB memory sticks formatted to FAT
32 (File Allocation Table).
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system does not support the simultaneous connection of two identical
devices (two memory sticks or two
Apple
® players) but it is possible to connect one memory stick and one Apple® player at
the same time.
It is recommended that you use genuine
Apple® USB cables to guarantee correct
operation.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB
socket using a suitable cable (not
supplied).
