Safety
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 difficult sur face 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
takes over from the ASR
system,
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.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.
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. 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
distribution (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 dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is star ted.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
