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).

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
(Depending on version)
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).
– Trailer 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,
depress the pedal 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 (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

50
Safety
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
In the event that a wheel has poor grip, anti-slip
regulation brakes the spinning wheel and returns
the engine torque to the wheel that has the best
grip in order to prevent being bogged down.
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.
They come 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/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can turn freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.




► Press this button for approximately 5 seconds
to deactivate the functions (reactivated by a
single press).
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR and DSC systems reactivate
automatically after the ignition has been
switched 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 system does not operate whenever the ASR
and DSC systems are deactivated.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
Up to 53 mph (85
km/h), if the system detects
oscillating trailer movements (snaking), it
applies 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.
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 control system provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country.
This must not encourage the driver to take
extra risks, such as using a trailer in
sub-optimal conditions (excessive load, failure
to observe trailer nose weight, worn or
under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system,
etc.) or driving at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

Hill Assist Descent
Control
Hill Assist Descent Control system for steep
slopes and on road surfaces with poor grip
(e.g.
gravel, mud).
This system reduces the risk of loss of control
or slipping of the vehicle when descending in
forward gear.
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 gradient
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
or D.
The system is no longer available and no longer active if the speed of the vehicle is
above 22 mph (35
km/h).
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, press this button
until this green indicator lamp lights up on
the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds between
5 and 22 mph
(8 and 35 km/h).
►

When the vehicle begins its descent, the
driver 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.

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 causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Check and clean the vehicle after each off-road
trip.
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 very 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
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The
vehicle exhaust system 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 60
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
►

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.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has 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

63
Driving
6joins 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.
