TRAjECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
dYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL ( d SC) AN d
ANTI

- SLIP

REGULATION (ASR)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of t\
he
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control 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.
These systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes as soon
as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory. This
is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
SNOW dRIVING ASSISTANCE
(I NTELLIGENT T RACTION C ONTROL )
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.
This
automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult
surface

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 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 dynamic stability control and wheel 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 surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.
