Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.

operation

the anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.

When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the

Driving safely

boxer_en_Chap05_Securite_ed01-2015

Good practice

the ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.

When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.

operation

It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.

the effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.

Switching off

this system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.

operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with

the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles

(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.

If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,

it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.

When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

In either case, contact a PeugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.

dynamic stability control
(dSc)

the electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.

With the DSC system, maintain course
without trying to countersteer.

operation

the DSC system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.

operating fault

Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and confirmed by a message

this system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.

In the event of a problem of adhesion or
trajectory, this system comes into play.

Switching off

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 spin freely and regain grip.

Press this button, located in the
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate
the system.

Anti-slip regulation (ASr)

Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.

If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the ASR system.

Have it checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Good practice

the DSC and ASR systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.

the correct operation of these systems
depend on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and assembly
and repair procedures.

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

Load inertia control

the true total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a result, the centre of gravity of
the vehicle can move, both longitudinally
and in height.

All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.

Load inertia control estimates the true
total weight of the vehicle by analysing its
behaviour under acceleration and braking.

this system then adapts the operation of
the DSC and ASR systems according to the
weight distribution in the vehicle. In critical
situations, your vehicle than remains more
securely on its intended trajectory.

Impact resistance

Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.

Anti-theft protection

Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.

Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.

An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt

GEnErAL PoIntS on AIrBAGS

the airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:

in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,

in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not

deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.

Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.

Front airbags

these are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers. they are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.

Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge

of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.

this smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.

the noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
