Safety
5Malfunction
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). 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.

Driving
6climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
–
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
at idle to warm up but move off straight away
and drive at moderate speed.
–


Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300
rpm depending on the air conditioning
requirements.
–


In wintry conditions, when the ignition is
switched on, the duration of lighting of the
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W

ait
until it goes off before starting the engine.
–
In very severe wintry
conditions


(temperature below -23°C), to
ensure correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of the vehicle,
engine and gearbox, leave the engine
running for 4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an
enclosed area without adequate ventilation:
internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide.
Danger of poisoning and death!
With petrol engines , after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause noticeable engine vibrations for
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
For Diesel vehicles, when the
temperature is below zero,
starting will only occur once the preheating
warning lamp is off.
If this warning lamp comes on after pressing
the "START/STOP" button, press down on the
brake or clutch pedal until the warning lamp
goes off, without pressing the "START/STOP"
button again, until the engine starts and runs.
The presence of the “Keyless Entry and Starting” system remote control is
imperative in the recognition zone.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running and with the remote control on your
person.
If the remote control leaves the recognition
zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in
order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not
met, a message is displayed in the
instrument panel. In some circumstances, it is
necessary to turn the steering wheel while
pressing the "START/STOP" button to assist
unlocking of the steering column. A message
is displayed.
Switching off
► Immobilise the vehicle, with the engine at
idle.

►

T
o lock the steering column, turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
To facilitate unlocking of the steering column, it is recommended that the
wheels be returned to the straight ahead
position before switching off the engine.
►

Check that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
Never switch off the ignition before the
complete immobilisation of the vehicle.
With the engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also turned off: risk of
loss of control of the vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the vehicle without taking the remote control
with you, even for a short time.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch and
could cause a malfunction.
