Electronic stability programme (ESC)

Definitions

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)

These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

Emergency braking assistance

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 the effectiveness of the braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

This system (also known as Traction Control)
optimises traction in order to avoid 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, this system 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.

A set of the following Electronic Stability systems:
-

anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

-

emergency braking assistance,

-

wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,

-

dynamic stability control (DSC).

-

trailer stability assist (TSA).

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted
trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option
or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball
pack).

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)

The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.

Illumination of this warning lamp, coupled
with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal, signals
that there is a fault with the electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.

In emergency braking, press very
firmly and maintain this pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.

Intelligent traction control
system

Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
surface grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.

The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces offering low
levels of adhesion.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)

Operation

These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem of grip or trajectory.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely
and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.

Deactivation is done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.

Reactivation

The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:

Operating fault

This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

It is confirmed by the display of a message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine or the brakes in the
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.

ASR / DSC

These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip
(rain, snow, black 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.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic
components as the assembly and repair
procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain
neutral behaviour on the road.

After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Reactivation is done in the Driving
menu of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.

Trailer stability assist

Operation

The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detect oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.

For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing
a trailer, refer to the corresponding section.

When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball pack).

The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.

Operating fault

Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal.

If you continue to tow 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
increased 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, ….) or drive at
too high a speed.
In certain certain cases, oscillation of
the trailer may not be detected by the
ESC system, particularly with a light
trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor
surfaces, the system may not be able to
prevent sudden snaking of the trailer.

Advanced Grip Control

Standard (ESC)

F Place the knob in this position.

Snow

Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).

This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel
spin, based on the different levels of grip
normally encountered on the road.

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 30 mph (50 km/h))

F Place the knob in this position.

The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.

Every time the ignition is switched off,
the system automatically resets to this
mode.

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.

Associated with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, adhesion and traction.

Operating modes

5

Safety

165

3008-2_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2016

All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...)

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 50 mph (80 km/h))

F Place the knob in this position.

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))

F Place the knob in this position.

You can deactivate certain
ESC systems (ASR and DSC)
by turning the knob to the
"OFF" position.

Driving advice

Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

crossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,

-

driving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,

-

crossing a stream.

Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.

These systems are reactivated
automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.

Hill Assist Descent Control

System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,
mud...) or a steep gradient.
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, it assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed, depending
on the gear engaged, while progressively
releasing the brakes.

Operation

By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the system does not stay in
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system with the
engine running and the vehicle stationary or at
speeds of up to about 30 mph (50 km/h).

F Once the vehicle starts its descent, you

can release the accelerator and brake
pedals, speed is regulated by the system:

- if the gearbox is in first or second

gear, speed is reduced and the
indicator flashes rapidly,

- if the gearbox is in neutral or if

the clutch pedal is depressed,
speed is reduced and the
indicator flashes slowly; in this
case, the speed maintained
during the descent is lower.

Switching on

F With the speed below 30 mph

(50 km/h), press this button until
its indicator lamp comes on to
select the system; this indicator
appears in grey in the instrument
panel.

F With the speed below 18 mph (30 km/h),

the system becomes active; this indicator
comes on in green in the instrument panel.

If you release the accelerator and brake pedals
while the vehicle is stationary on a gradient, the
system will release the brakes for progressive
movement of the vehicle.
The brake lamps come on automatically when
the system is regulating the speed of the
vehicle.

3008-2_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2016

For the system to operate, the slope
must be steeper than 5%.
The system can be used with the
gearbox in neutral.
Otherwise, engage a gear appropriate
for the speed of the vehicle, to avoid the
engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
can be used with the selector at N, D
or R.

If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18 mph
(30 km/h), regulation is automatically paused
and the indicator in the instrument panel
changes back to grey, but the indicator lamp in

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact, the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Advice

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

be tightened as close to the body as
possible,

-

be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,

-

be used to restrain only one person,

-

not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

-

not be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.

In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.

Airbags

General information

System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,

-

in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Front airbags

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
forward movement.

System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rearward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.

If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious
impact.
