SAFETY
104

The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking system components,

- electronic components,

- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, locat-
ed in the centre of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel and the indicator lamp in the
button comes on, this indicates that the
ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.


Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS


Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.



Steering/ESP coupling system
(SSP)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
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.
This system optimises the stability of
the vehicle and its braking capacity by
combining the actions of the ESP and
electric power steering when braking on
surfaces on which the grip of the right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.
It permits increased braking of the
wheels which are in contact with the
section of road offering the higher level
of grip and, anticipating the instability of
the vehicle, the application of a slight
correction to the turning angle of the
wheels to assist the driver in maintain-
ing his trajectory.



Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.

Access to the tools
Towing your vehicle



)
On the front bumper, pull on the cover
to unclip it.

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Install the towing bar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
The towing eye is stowed in the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
raise the fl oor,

)
secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear parcel shelf sup-
port,

)
remove the towing eye from the
holder.

)
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
on an automatic
gearbox).
Failure to comply with this special
requirement may result in damage
to certain braking components
and the absence of braking assis-
tance the next time the engine is
started.


General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of
the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must
always call on a professional re-
covery service:


- vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral, un-
lock the steering, or release
the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,

- where there is no approved
towing bar available...
