SAFETY
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 regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
repair and assembly procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.



Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate 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 on
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP
200 hp engine, this action also deactivates
emergency brake assistance and the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.

Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp pet-
rol engine).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 THP
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates emergency brake assistance and
the automatic operation of hazard warn-
ing lamps.
Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
TRAJECTORY CONTROLSYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-skid 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.
