battery voltage is low, to allow the vehicle to
start.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Make sure the fuel gauge
level indicator is not in the reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating when
refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion!
The temperature in the vicinity of the heater
must not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature
(e.g. in the case of oven painting) could
damage electronic circuits components.
The additional heating is equipped with a
thermal limiter which cuts off combustion in
case of engine overheating due to lack of
coolant. Check the level and top-up with fluid,
if necessary.

Safety
5Pedestrian horn (Electric)
This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is approaching.
The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle
is moving and at speeds of up to 25 mph
(40
km/h), in forward or reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
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 (EBFD)
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display screen, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When these warning lamps come
on, accompanied by a message on
the instrument panel display screen, they
indicate that there is a fault with the electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD), which could
cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a period of adjustment of
approximately 310 miles (500 km) is
necessary. During this period, it is advisable
to avoid abrupt, repeated and prolonged
braking.
The anti-lock device does not allow for shorter braking. On a very slippery road

Safety
5Intelligent 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.
Activation/Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.




► Press this button to activate/deactivate the
system.
When the button indicator lamp comes on, the
system is activated.
This system is active up to approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Above 19 mph (30 km/h), the system is
automatically deactivated but the button indicator
lamp remains on. The system is automatically reactivated as soon
as the speed returns below approximately 19
mph (30 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of an Intelligent Traction
Control malfunction, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
The actual total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on its load.
The centre of gravity of the vehicle can therefore
move in the longitudinal direction and even in
height.
Each of these variations has repercussions
on braking, traction, cornering behaviour and
overturning.
The load inertia control estimates the actual total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour,
during acceleration and braking phases.
This system then adapts the intervention of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution of the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more safely on its
trajectory.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Descent assistance system on roads with low
grip (mud, gravel, etc.) or with a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of the vehicle
slipping or running out of control as it moves
downhill.
It maintains the vehicle at a constant speed
during a descent by acting independently and
differentially on the brakes.
Activation / Deactivation
When starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.




► With the speed below 19 mph (30 km/h),
press this button to activate the system; the
button indicator lamp lights up.
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
button indicator lamp flashes.
The brake lamps automatically light up when the
function is activated.

Driving
6Drive selector (Electric)

The drive selector is used to control the vehicle's
forward and reverse movement.
Three back-lit buttons allow you to select the
driving mode:
D.Drive (automatic forward gear)
Lights up green.
N. Neutral
Lights up white.
To park the vehicle or switch to free-wheeling.
R. Reverse
Lights up red.
Display in the rear view
mirror
The drive selector status is shown on the display
integrated into the rear view mirror:
D : Drive (automatic forward gear)
N : Neutral
R : Reverse
Operation
When the ignition is switched on, the drive
selector is always in mode N.
►

With your foot on the brake pedal, press the
required button to change mode.
The button lights up in the corresponding colour

.
Each time the mode is changed, a short audible
signal can be heard.
You can switch from D to R without passing
through N.
Do not change mode without first having
completely immobilised the vehicle.
If the driver's door is opened with mode
D or R selected, the drive selector
automatically switches to mode N. The
message "DRIVE ACTIVE" is displayed in the
rear view mirror accompanied by an audible
signal.
Regenerative braking
If the driver releases the accelerator pedal while
driving, the vehicle generates energy. Depending
on the level of charge and the driving conditions,
the energy recovered is then used to recharge
the traction battery.
This energy recovery is not possible if the driver
depresses the brake pedal sharply.
Gentle, prolonged braking is therefore
recommended in order to conserve energy in
the traction battery and thereby optimise the
vehicle's driving range.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on version or engine, this system
reduces fuel consumption by recommending a
higher gear change.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. In fact, the road layout,
the traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued by
the system.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of the SHIFT
indicator, accompanied by an upward arrow to
signal to the driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
requirements (power, acceleration, braking,
etc.).
The system never recommends engaging first
gear or reverse, or changing down.
