The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction 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 bythe driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
This is indicated b
y flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, butthis should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of thesesystems depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regardingthe wheels (tyres and rims), the brakingcomponents, the electronic componentsand the assembly and repair proceduresused by the PEUGEOT dealer network.
