Peugeot Boxer 2006-2014 Owner's Manual Safety Driving safely (Brakes, Trajectory, Lane departure)

955 Driving safely SAFETY PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS Press this button, the direction indicators flash. They can operate with the ignition off. The hazard warning lamps should only be used in dangerous situations, when stopping in an emergency or when driving in unusual conditions. Applying Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle. Check that the parking brake is applied firmly before leaving the vehicle. Pull on the parking brake lever, only with the vehicle stationary . Releasing Pull the lever and press the button to lower the parking brake lever. In the exceptional case of use of the parking brake when the vehicle is moving, apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding). If the parking brake is still on or has not been released properly, this is indicated by this warning lamp which comes on on the instrument panel. When parking on a slope, direct your wheels towards the pavement and pull the parking brake lever up. There is no advantage in engaging a gear after parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
96 Driving safely HORN Press the centre of the steering wheel. Anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution 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 pressure. Switching off These systems cannot be deactivated by the driver. BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum braking in complete safety in emergency situations: - anti-lock braking system (ABS), - electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), - emergency braking assistance (EBA).
975 Driving safely SAFETY 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. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
98 Driving safely TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS Switching off This system cannot be deactivated by the driver. 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 in the instrument panel screen, indicates a fault with the DSC system. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Operation 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. It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem. This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
995 Driving safely SAFETY Reactivation The ASR system is reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched back on. - Press this button again to reactivate it manually. Operating fault 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. Intelligent Traction Control System to improve traction on slippery surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...) This system checks for situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, by transferring drive to the wheel with the best grip on the ground to provide the best traction and trajectory control. 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.
100 Driving safely System that provides assistance when descending on surfaces with poor grip (mud, gravel...). This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle while descending a hill. It operates together with the Intelligent Traction Control . Hill descent control Switching on On starting the vehicle, the system is deactivated. Press this button, located in the middle of the dashboard, to activate the system; the indicator lamp in the button comes on. For the system to operate, the slope must be steeper than 8%. This system is active up to about 18 mph (30 km/h). As soon as the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the system is automatically deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the button stays on. The system reactivates automatically as soon as the speed of the vehicle drops below 18 mph (30 km/h). Switching off Press this button, located in the middle of the dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator lamp in the button goes off. Operating fault If a fault occurs with the hill descent control system, this warning lamp comes on. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Switching on On starting the vehicle, this system is deactivated. Press this button, located in the middle of the dashboard, to activate the system; the indicator lamp in the button comes on. This system is active up to about 18 mph (30 km/h). Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h), the system is deactivated automatically, but the indicator lamp in the button stays on. The system is reactivated automatically as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph (30 km/h). Switching off Press this button, located in the middle of the dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator lamp in the button goes off and the ASR system is active again. Operating fault If a fault occurs with the intelligent traction control system, this warning lamp comes on. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
1015 Driving safely SAFETYLANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM System which detects the involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the ground (continuous or discontinuous line). A camera, fitted at the top centre of the windscreen, monitors the road and triggers a warning if the vehicle drifts (speed higher than 35 mph (60 km/h)). This system operates to its full potential above all when used on motorways and main roads. Switching off - Press this button to switch off the system, the indicator lamp in the button comes on. The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off. Switching on - Press this button to switch the system on, the indicator lamp in the button goes off. Detection If a change of direction is detected, you are alerted by a warning lamp in the instrument panel and an audible signal: Operating fault If a fault occurs with the system, this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible message and confirmed by a message in the screen. Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The lane departure warning system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver. - fl ashing of the left hand warning lamp, if drifting to the left, No warning is transmitted while the direction indicator is active and for approximately 20 seconds after the direction indicator is switched off. A warning may be transmitted if a direction marking (arrow) or non-standard marking (graffi ti) is crossed. The detection may be disrupted: - if the markings on the ground are worn, - if there is little contrast between the markings on the ground and the road surface. - fl ashing of the right hand warning lamp, if drifting to the right.
