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.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing 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.
Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, the hazard warning
lamps come on automatically. They switch off
automatically when you next accelerate.
They can be switched off by pressing the button.
Horn

► 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).
–


T
railer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/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.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
individual wheel.
►

When braking in an emergency
, depress
the pedal very firmly and maintain this
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp signals that there is a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it 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

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 malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
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.

Driving
Manual parking brake
Release

► Pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press
the release button, then lower the lever fully.
When driving the vehicle, if this warning
lamp and the STOP warning lamp come
on, accompanied by the display of a message,
this means that the parking brake is still applied
or has not been fully released.
Application
► Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
the vehicle.
When parking on a slope, turn the
wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, engage a gear and switch off
the ignition.
Locking the rear
differential
When the rear differential is locked, torque is
transmitted to both rear wheels equally, thereby
improving the vehicle's traction.
Locking the rear differential is especially useful
when the rear wheels are skidding (in a ditch or
on a slippery road, for example).
Operating conditions
The differential lock is activated manually (speed
below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)).
The vehicle's wheels must not be skidding (wait
until they have stopped).
Activation/Deactivation



► To activate the system, at a speed below
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h), press this button.
The differential locking request is confirmed by this indicator lamp flashing
on the instrument panel.
If all the operating conditions are not met,
the differential cannot be locked and the
indicator lamp on the instrument panel flashes
3 times in a row , accompanied by an audible
signal.
►

Gradually depress the accelerator pedal.
►


As soon as the locking is active, the
indicator

lamp comes on fixed on the instrument
panel.
To manoeuvre the vehicle when the wheels are
skidding, slightly turn the steering wheel when
the vehicle is moving.
If the indicator lamp continues to flash,
turn the steering wheel to the right and to
the left while accelerating and decelerating to
engage the lock.
If the indicator
lamp is still flashing, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
►

T

o deactivate the system, press the button
again until the indicator
lamp on the instrument
panel goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated:
–

If the speed of the vehicle is above 19 mph
(30


km/h),
–

When the ignition is switched off.
Risk of accident!
Only lock the rear differential if the
wheels are skidding (in a ditch, on a slippery
or rough road, for example).
Always wait for the wheels to come to a
standstill to activate the differential locking.
Never exceed the speed of 5 mph (8
km/h) with the rear differential locked, and
deactivate the locking as soon as conditions
allow.

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in
the engine compartment - risk of
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock the doors and, depending on version,
move the electronic key away.
When using a high-pressure washer, keep
the jet nozzle at a minimum distance of 30
cm from the vehicle (particularly on any stone
chip impacts, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's
paintwork (including tree resin, bird
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These
substances can be highly corrosive.
