Emergency braking assistance*
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.
t
he emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the DSC system
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
he effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
t
his system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
the dynamic stability control system acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
t
his system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is started and cannot be
deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, indicates
a fault with the system, which is
deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
e
ngine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine
torque to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
t
hese systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.
t
his is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
