ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION The suspension adapts automatical- ly and instantly to different drivingstyles and road characteristics,improving the comfort of the occu-pants and the vehicle's road holdingcapabilities. The suspension favours smooth shock absorption, ensuring a com-fortable ride, but as soon as condi-tions demand a change (sporty dri-ving, tight bends, avoidance action,etc.) it automatically selects firmershock absorption, guaranteeing opti-mum road holding.Selecting the SPORT position
Press switch 1, the SPORT indi-
cator light will come on,accompanied by an audiblesignal. In this position, the suspen- sion is maintained in the
SPORT position.
To return to automatic opera-tion

Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys- tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multi-function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR system,so that the wheels can move freelyand regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under thesteering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
'ASR/ESP system de-acti-vated' on the multiÐfunction
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on theengine operation. These are triggered again :
automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
manually by pressing the switchagain.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) These systems are linked and com-
plementary to the ABS system. In the event of a significant variation between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automaticallyon the engine and on the brake ofone or more wheels, to put the vehi-cle back on course. The traction control (ASR) system optimises drive, in order to avoid thewheels slipping, by acting on thebrakes of the drive wheels and onthe engine. It also enables the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved during acceleration. Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys-tems is in operation, thisindicator light flashes.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but this shouldnot encourage the driver totake extra risks or drive at
high speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
