their positions.
The upper stops may be adjusted if: – excessive force is needed to operate
the upper latches A
and B.
–

there is noise while driving, caused by
excessive play

.
When the partition is locked behind the
row 2 or row 1 seats, an engagement
noise tells you that the upper latches are
closed.
A visible mark and a coloured mark show the
position of the latches.
The partition must not be moved with the latches extended - risk of scratches or
damage to the plastic trims!
The partition must never be removed to convert the vehicle from a commercial
vehicle to a passenger vehicle.
This would pose a risk to the safety of users
due to the absence of a child lock on the
tailgate (mandatory on passenger vehicles).
Opening/closing the hatch

► Open/close the hatch using the latch.
► Use the stay to keep it in the open position.
Always close the hatch and raise the backrest of the outer passenger seat(s)
(depending on the position of the partition)
when you are not carrying a long load.
Avoid placing loads on the hatch sill bar. Whenever possible, place loads on the
folded-down seat backrests.

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,
refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information
7If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the exhaust while
accelerating. This has no impact on the
vehicle’s behaviour or the environment.
New vehicle
During the first few particle filter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change).
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.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased effectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
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.
