Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding  
o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the  
d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake
  of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine  
t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required  
b

y   the   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of  
p

hysics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each   time   the   vehicle   is   started.
They
  come   into   operation   in   the   event   of   a   grip  
o

r
 t
rajectory
 pro
blem.
This
  is   indicated   by   flashing   of   this  
w

arning   lamp   in   the   instrument   panel.
Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud,   ...),   if   you   are   unable   to   move   off,   it   may  
b

e   useful   to   temporarily   deactivate   these  
s

ystems   so   that   the   wheels   can   spin   freely   and  
a

llow   the   vehicle   to   move.
F
 
P
ress   this   button,   located   near   the   steering  
w

heel.
If
  the   indicator   lamp   in   the   button   comes   on,   this
 i

ndicates   that   these   systems   are   deactivated.
Depending
 
on
 
version,
 
your
 
vehicle
 
has
 
a
 
s

ystem
 
to
 
help
 
driving
 
on
 
snow:
 
intelligent
traction control .
This
 
system
 
detects
 
situations
 
of
 
difficult
 
s

ur face
 
adhesion
 
that
 
could
 
make
 
it
 
difficult
 
to
 
m

ove
 
off
 
or
 
make
 
progress
 
on
 
deep
 
fresh
 
snow
 
o

r
 
compacted
 
snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control
 

limits
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
wheel
 
slip
 
to
 
p

rovide
 
the
 
best
 
traction
 
and
 
trajectory
 
control
 
f

or
 
your
 
vehicle.
It  is   recommended   that   the   systems   be  
r

eactivated   as   soon   as   possible.
The
 
use
 
of
 
snow
 
tyres
 
is
 
strongly
 r
ecommended
 
on
 
sur faces
 
offering
 
low
 
l

evels
 
of
 
adhesion.
