SAFETY
103
  The  ESP/ASR  systems  offer  ex- 
ceptional  safety  in  normal  driving, 
but  this  should  not  encourage  the 
driver to take extra risks or drive at 
high speed.  
 The  correct  functioning  of  these  
systems  depends  on  observation 
of  the  manufacturer's  recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, 
the electronic components and the 
 PEUGEOT   assembly  and  opera-
tion procedures.  
 After  an  impact,  have  these  sys- 
tems  checked  by  a   PEUGEOT  
dealer.   
   Disarming  
 In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  a  
vehicle  which  is  bogged  down,  stuck 
in  snow,  on  soft  ground,  ...),  it  may  be 
advisable  to  disarm  the  ASR  and  ESP 
systems,  so  that  the  wheels  can  move 
freely and regain grip.     
     Press the   "ESP OFF"   button, locat-
ed in the centre of the fascia.  
 If  this  warning  light  comes  on  on  the  in-
strument  panel  and  the  indicator  light  on 
the  button  comes  on,  this  indicates  that 
the ASR and ESP systems are disarmed.  
  Reactivation  
 These systems are reactivated automat- 
ically  each  time  the  ignition  is  switched 
back  on  or  from  30  mph  (50 km/h)  (ex-
cept  in  the  case  of  the  1.6  l  16V  THP 
175 bhp petrol engine).  
   
     Press  the    "ESP  OFF"    button  again 
to reactivate them manually.   
  Operating fault 
 If  this  warning  light  comes  on,  
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction  display,  this  indicates 
a malfunction of these systems.  
  Have  them  checked  by  a  PEUGEOT  
dealer.   
           TRAJECTORY CONTROL 
SYSTEMS  
  Activation  
 These  systems  are  activated  automati- 
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
  Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and  
electronic stability programme 
(ESP)  
 The  anti-skid  regulation  optimises  trac- 
tion  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.  
 They  come  into  operation  in 
the  event  of  a  grip  or  trajectory 
problem.  
   T h i s    i s    i n d i c a t e d    b y    fl   a s h i n g    o f   
this  warning  light  on  the  instru-
ment panel.      Steering/ESP coupling system  
(SSP)  
 This  system  optimises  the  stability  of  
the  vehicle  and  its  braking  capacity  by 
combining  the  actions  of  the  ESP  and 
electric power steering when braking on 
surfaces  on  which  the  grip  of  the  right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.  
 It  permits  increased  braking  of  the  
wheels  which  are  in  contact  with  the 
section of road offering the higher level 
of grip and, anticipating the instability of 
the  vehicle,  the  application  of  a  slight 
correction  to  the  turning  angle  of  the 
wheels  to  assist  the  driver  in  maintain-
ing his trajectory.
