Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
►
 
T
o ensure that air is distributed evenly, 
keep the external air intake grilles at the base 
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the 
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot 
free from obstructions.
►
 
Do not cover the sunshine sensor located 
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to 
regulate the automatic air conditioning 
system.
►
 
Operate the air conditioning system for at 
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to 
keep it in perfect working order
.
►
 
If the system does not produce cold air
 , 
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep 
gradient in high temperatures, switching off 
the air conditioning increases the available 
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the  ventilation off or with prolonged operation 
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and 
deterioration of the air quality!
If 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).
►
 
T
o ensure correct operation of the 
air conditioning system, have it checked 
according to the recommendations in the 
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Contains R134A fluorinated 
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the 
air conditioning system may contain R134A 
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the  Stop & Start, 
refer to the corresponding section.

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 
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.

Safety
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
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).
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 (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
  km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
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.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 
160
  km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer 
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the  instrument panel and the brake lamps 
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads, 
refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed 
Loads section or your vehicle’s registration 
certificate
To ensure safe driving with a  Towing device,

Advanced Grip Control
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). When combined with all-season M+S (Mud and 
Snow) tyres, this system 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.
Every time 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 
regain 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.   

78
Safety
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
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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
Your 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:
–
 
crossing and 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 stream.
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 indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green 
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19 
mph (30
  km/h).
►
 
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.

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 engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical 
systems of your 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.
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).
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 increases the temperature 
of the coolant. The maximum towable load 
depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan 
does not increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, 
so as to limit the heating-up.
