Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS/EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking, 
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking, 
and the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel.
The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance.
On very slippery sur faces (ice, oil, etc.), the 
ABS may increase the braking distance. When 
braking in an emergency, do not hesitate to 
press the brake pedal firmly without releasing 
the pressure, even on a slippery sur face; you 
will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the 
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.If this warning lamp comes on 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the ABS 
which could result in a loss of control 
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on 
together with the brake and STOP 
warning lamps, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution, 
which could result in a loss of control 
of the vehicle when braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact 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.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal 
under your foot.To maintain operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system, press very 
firmly on the brake pedal, maintaining this 
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt 
by slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved by 
P E U G E O T.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) 
and electronic stability 
c ont rol  (ESC)
These systems are associated with and 
complementary to the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for maintaining 
optimum traction and avoiding loss of control of 
the vehicle during acceleration.
This system optimises traction to prevent the 
wheels from skidding by acting on the brakes 
of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also 
improves the directional stability of the vehicle on 
acceleration.
With the ESC system, maintain the direction 
without attempting to steer in the opposite 
direction.

Safety  

104
In some cases of particularly demanding use 
(when towing the maximum load on a steep 
gradient in high temperatures), the engine 
power is automatically limited. In such a case, 
the air conditioning is automatically switched 
off to increase the available engine power.F
 
I
 f this warning lamp and the 
STOP warning lamp come on, 
stop the vehicle and switch off 
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at 
least 620
  miles (1,000   kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of 
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height 
of your vehicle. For more information on adjusting 
the Headlamp beam
, refer to the 
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT 
towbar is used.
Starting and stopping
Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering wheel 
gently while turning the key, without forcing. In 
this position, certain accessories can be used. Starting position.
The starter is operated. the engine turns over, 
release the key.
STOP position
: anti-theft.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel until 
the steering column locks. Remove the key.
If this warning lamp comes on, a door 
or the bonnet is not closed correctly. 
Please check!Diesel engines
If the temperature is high enough, 
the warning lamp comes on for 
less than a second, you can start 
without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp to go 
off then operate the starter (starting position) 
until the engine starts.
When switching off the ignition, let the 
engine run for a few seconds to allow the 
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to 
idle.
Do not press the accelerator when 
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after 
parking the vehicle.

Operation
When your vehicle is too close to or 
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the 
system automatically applies the brakes to 
avoid a collision.
You are then warned by the display of a 
message.
Your vehicle's brake lamps come on to warn 
other road users.The collision can be avoided if the speed 
difference between your vehicle and 
the one ahead is not more than 9
  mph 
(15
 
km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do 
what is possible to avoid or reduce the 
accident by lowering the speed of impact.
The automatic braking can bring the vehicle to 
a complete stop if the situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held stationary 
temporarily (for about 1.5
  seconds) to allow 
the driver to take back control by pressing the 
brake pedal.
Unless the driver presses the clutch 
quickly enough during automatic braking, 
triggering of the system may cause the 
engine to stall. During automatic braking, the driver can 
always obtain a higher rate of deceleration 
than that controlled by the system, by 
pressing firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is 
automatically put out of ser vice: it no 
longer operates.
You must go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system 
made operational again.
Operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that are 
stationary or moving in the same direction as 
your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles (bicycles, 
motorcycles), pedestrians or animals, nor 
non-reflective stationary objects.
This system will not trigger or will be interrupted 
if the driver:
-
 
a
 ccelerates hard
-
 
o
 r turns the steering wheel sharply 
(avoidance manoeuvre). When weather conditions are difficult 
(extremely heavy rain, snow, fog, hail, 
etc.), braking distances increase, which 
may reduce the system’s ability to avoid a 
collision.
The driver must therefore remain 
particularly cautious.
Never let snow build up on the bonnet 
or any object beyond the bonnet or the 
front of the roof: this could enter the 
field of vision of the sensor and obstruct 
detection.Deactivation
The system is deactivated in the vehicle 
configuration menu, accessible with the ignition 
on.
Its status is stored when the ignition is switched off.
When the system is deactivated, a 
message is displayed every time the 
ignition is switched on, to warn you.

Screenwash fluid level
For optimal cleaning quality and safety, we 
recommend that you use the PEUGEOT range 
of products.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, 
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced 
with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reser voir: 
approximately 3
 
litres.
Diesel additive level (Diesel 
engine with particle filter)
A low additive level is indicated by 
illumination of the Ser vice warning 
lamp, accompanied by an audible 
warning and a message on the screen.
If the message is still displayed and the Ser vice  
warning lamp remains lit, consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
To p p i n g  u p
This additive must be topped up without delay 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Checks
Battery
The battery does not require any 
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the 
terminals are correctly tightened 
(versions without quick release 
terminals) and that the connections 
are clean.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are 
fitted with a 12
  V lead-acid battery of 
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out 
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
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.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking 
brake disc/drum wear, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of 
effectiveness of this system is 
noticed, the parking brake must 
be checked, even between two 
services.
This system must be checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Once the engine is started, this signals that 
the particle filter is starting to saturate (in 
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally long 
duration: low speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, you are advised to 
drive as soon as possible, as traffic conditions 
allow, at a speed of at least 37
 
mph (around 
60
 
km/h) for at least five minutes (until the 
Ser vice warning lamp goes off and the 
message disappears).
Relay noises may be heard under the 
dashboard during regeneration of the particle 
f i l t e r. At the start of winter, have your battery checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change).
Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of 
components as important as those in the 
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and 
offers very specific products.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi 
engines)
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® that contains 
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% 
of nitrogen oxide (NOx) into nitrogen and 
water, which are harmless to health and the 
environment. The AdBlue
® is contained in a special tank with 
a capacity of around 17   litres. An alert system 
is triggered automatically once the reser ve 
level is reached: you can then drive for a further 
1,500
 
miles (2,400   km) before the tank is 
emptied completely.
To respect the environment and ensure 
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without 
adversely affecting the per formance 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. Once the AdBlue
® tank is empty, a system 
r
equired by regulations prevents starting 
of the engine.
If the SCR
 
system is faulty, the level of 
emissions from your vehicle will no longer 
meet the Euro 6 standard: your vehicle 
becomes polluting.
In the event of a confirmed fault with the 
SCR system, you must go to a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop as soon 
as possible: after a running distance of 
685
 
miles (1,100
 
km), a system will be 
triggered automatically to prevent engine 
starting.
In either case, a range indicator gives you 
the distance you can travel before the 
vehicle is immobilised.
For more information on the Warning 
and indicator lamps  and the associated 
alerts, refer to the corresponding section.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or 
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the 
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency 
may be reduced. Make light brake 
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
