SAFETY














TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS


ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)

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
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.


Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.








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 deactivate 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.
