MONITORING
Anti-lock
Braking
System (ABS)
fi xed.
The anti-lock braking system has
a fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Dynamic
stability control

(DSC/ASR) fl ashing.
The DSC/ASR regulation is
operating. The system optimises traction and improves the directional
stability of the vehicle in the event of loss of grip or
trajectory.
fi xed. The DSC/ASR system has a
fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualifi ed workshop.
Directional
headlamps fl ashing. The directional headlamps
system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Warning lamp
is on Cause Action / Observations
Seat belt not
fastened /
unfastened fi xed, then
fl ashing in the
passenger's seat
belt and front
airbag warning
lamp display. The driver or front passenger has
not buckled or has unbuckled
their seat belt.
Pull on the belt in question and insert the tongue in the
buckle.
At least one rear passenger has
unbuckled their seat belt.

Under-infl ation fi xed.
The pressure in one or more
wheels is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the tyres
are cold.
+ fl ashing then fi xed,
accompanied
by the Service
warning lamp. The tyre pressure monitoring
system has a fault or no sensor is
detected on one of the wheels.
Under-infl ation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) AND
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of t\
he
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control 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
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
These systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes as soon
as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory. This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
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 diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful to
temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control and wheel anti-
slip systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.
