Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving onsnow: Intelligent Traction Control.This automatic system continuously checksfor situations of difficult surface adhesion thatcould make it difficult to move off or makeprogress on deep fresh snow or compactedsnow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Controllimits the amount of wheel slip toprovide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud…), it can be useful to temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control andwheel anti-slip
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 sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.


Operation


Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very 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 warnin
g 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 whenbraking.
When this warnin
g lamp comes on, coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (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.

Safety
Dynamic stability control(DSC)

Activation
This system is activated automatically eachtime the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated b
y flashing of thiswarning lamp in the instrument panel.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendationsregarding the wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the systemchecked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.



Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signaland a message in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
