electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
this system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
the ASR system (also known as tr action
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
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 required 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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
th
is is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
th
e DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.th e correct operation of the system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly and
repair procedures used by P
e

uge
Ot

dealers.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
Operating fault
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
F

P
ress the button.
th

is warning lamp and the indicator
lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
Reactivation
the system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h). F

P
ress the button again to
reactivate it manually. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, this indicates a
fault with the system.
Contact a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Repair procedure
1. Sealing
F uncoil the white pipe G fully.
F un screw the cap from the white pipe.
F

C
onnect the white pipe to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired. F
C onnect the compressor's electric plug to
the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F

S
tart the vehicle and leave the engine
running.
ta

ke care, this product is harmful (e.g.
ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed
and causes irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.
Do not start the compressor before
connecting the white pipe to the tyre
valve: the sealant product would be
expelled through the pipe.

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
th

e presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a P

or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the


battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop & Start
s ystem will only be active after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the climatic
conditions and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox in
neutral, then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables.Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):
