Trajectory control systems



Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip. ) Press this button button, located on
the dashboard (driver's side), until the corresponding symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.

that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated automatically. )Press this button again to reactivate themmanually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates the reactivation of the ASR and ESPsystems.
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting 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 bythe driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.


The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of thesesystems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regardingthe wheels (tyres and rims), the brakingcomponents, the electronic componentsand the assembly and repair proceduresused by the PEUGEOT dealer network.
