ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESC)
Electronic Stability Programme (ESC:
Electronic Stability Control) incorporating
the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or
traction control,

- the dynamic stability control (DSC).


Definitions


Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) optimises traction in order
to avoid wheel slip by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
each wheel and automatically acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to return the vehicle to
the required path, within the limits of the
laws of physics.


Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure more quickly and therefore reduce
the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at
which the brake pedal is pressed. This
is felt by a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery
road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution
system manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel.

When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS, which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

When this warning lamp
comes on, coupled with the
STOP
warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to
do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.


In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.

Snow driving assistance(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: Intelligent Traction Control.
This automatic system continuously
checks for situations of diffi cult surface
adhesion that could make it diffi cult to
move off or make progress on deep
fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud…), it can be useful to temporarily de-
activate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on
surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

The DSC system offers excep-
tional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
The correct functioning of the system
depends on observation of the manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and op-
eration procedures.
After an impact, have the system
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 deac-
tivate the DSC system, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button.
This warning lamp and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come
on: the DSC system no longer
acts on the operation of the inter-
nal combustion engine.

Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back
on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
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 the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
This is indicated by fl ashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.



Activation
This system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
grip or trajectory problem.


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

"Multimedia":

audio systems, amplifi ers, satellite navigation
systems, Bluetooth hands-free system, CD
changer, speakers, DVD player, USB Box,
front and rear parking sensors, additional
Bluetooth wireless headphones, Bluetooth
audio headphones mains charger.


Installation of radio
communication
transmitters
Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
the specifi cation of transmitters which
can be fi tted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).




"Protection":

mats * , boot tray, luggage net, coat
hanger fi xed on head restraint, stainless
steel or carbon fi bre style door sills.

*
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
and secured correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.
