Safety






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 difficult sur face adhesion that
could make it difficult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide
the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow on top
of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.


Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)

In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.


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. 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,
accompanied 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
qualified workshop.
