Safety
5Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
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 lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g.
excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
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
This special patented traction control system improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended that you fit the vehicle
with winter tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable
tyres.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally
to drive on tarmac roads, but it may
occassionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving:
–
Driving on terrain that can damage the
underbody or tear off elements (e.g.
fuel
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in
particular.
–
Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
–
Crossing a waterway
.
Operating modes
Snow
This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel
spin to offer maximum traction according to the
snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick
snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also
adapted to the conditions encountered when
driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of
the vehicle.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80
km/h))
Mud
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
traction 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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Safety
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.
With manual gearbox
► Turn the selector to choose the mode
corresponding 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.
Standard (ESC)
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
Mud
Sand
ESC OFF
Deactivation of the ASR and DSC
systems.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine
or of the brakes in the event of a change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 31 mph (50 km/h) or whenever the
ignition is switched back on.
With automatic gearbox
► Press the DRIVE MODE button; the various
modes are displayed on the instrument panel.
► Select “ Snow”, “Mud” or “Sand” depending
on the context.
The chosen mode continues to be displayed in
the instrument panel.
►
T
o deactivate, select “Normal” mode or any
other driving mode.
The system is automatically deactivated when
the ignition is switched off.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
Hill Assist Descent Control system for medium to
steep slopes, on tarmac or other road surfaces
(e.g.
gravel, mud).
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle when descending, whether
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, the system 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, D or R. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

6Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
Monitor your environment and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►
Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►
Stop the vehicle before performing operations
that require sustained attention (e.g.
settings).
►
During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
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!
Never park the vehicle and never
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 drive on surfaces covered with
vegetation (e.g. tall grass,
accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris)
such as a field, a country lane overgrown
with bushes or a grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with
the vehicle's exhaust system
or other systems
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in
the passenger compartment which could
act like a magnifying glass under the effect of
the sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the 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 internal combustion engine or electric motor,
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the
vehicle.
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►
Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the
mode selector in 4WD
position (depending on
version).
►
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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
