Safety
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
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.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
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.
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))
– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
– Crossing a waterway.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
Operating modes
Snow
Activation/Deactivation
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.
Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system
improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
Mud
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.
► 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.
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.

Safety
– If the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch
► To deactivate, select “Normal” mode or any
other driving mode.
The system is automatically deactivated when
the ignition is switched off.
The system is no longer available if the
speed of the vehicle is:
– above 43 mph (70 km/h).
– managed by the Adaptive cruise control,
depending on the type of gearbox.

pedal is depressed, the speed decreases and
the indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case,
the maintained descent speed is lower.
On a downward slope, with the vehicle
stationary, if the driver releases the accelerator
and brake pedals, the system will release the
brakes to set the vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in
the button remains on.
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.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
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.
► To select the system, at speeds below
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until
its green indicator lamp lights up; this lamp
appears in grey on the instrument panel.
► The system becomes active at speeds
below 19 mph (30 km/h); this lamp lights
up in green on the instrument panel.
► 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
Switching off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel
goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in
the button goes off.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in green on the
indicator lamp flashes rapidly.
