ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distri-
bution system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) optimises traction in order
to avoid wheel slip by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
each wheel and automatically acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to return the vehicle to
the required path, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure more quickly and therefore reduce
the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at
which the brake pedal is pressed. This
is felt by a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and ma-
noeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and offers improved control, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event
of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution sys-
tem manages the braking pressure wheel
by wheel. Operation
When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS, which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes
on, coupled with the STOP
warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message, it indicates that there is a fault
with the electronic brake force distribu-
tion (EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
d e a l e r o r a q u a l i fi e d w o r k s h o p .
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
the pressure.

Snow driving assistance (Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow: Intelligent Traction Control .
This automatic system continuously
c h e c k s f o r s i t u a t i o n s o f d i f fi c u l t s u r f a c e
a d h e s i o n t h a t c o u l d m a k e i t d i f fi c u l t t o
move off or make progress on deep
fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR sys-
tem, limiting the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory
control, even without snow tyres and
with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow
on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can
be useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a degree of wheel spin
and so recover grip.
