88
Safety
In these situations, the system limits the amount
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and
trajectory control for the vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly recommended on surfaces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
This function is set via the Driving/ Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting
of this indicator lamp on the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or at
speeds over 31 mph (50
km/h).
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160
km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the
flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the Engine technical data and towed
loads section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
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.
Recommendations
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.
–

Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
–


Crossing a waterway
.
Operating modes
Snow
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.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
Mud
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.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
Sand
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))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
