Snow driving assistance 
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on 
snow: Intelligent Traction Control.
th
is 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  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 wheel anti-slip regulation  
system 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 
sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
Anti-lock braking system 
(ABS) and electronic brake 
force distribution (EBFD)
Operation
In emergency braking, press 
very 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.
th
e fixed illumination of this warning 
lamp indicates that there is a fault 
with the ABS.
When this warning lamp comes on, 
coupled with the STOP  and ABS warning 
lamps, accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message, it indicates that there 
is a fault with the electronic brake force 
distribution (
eB
FD).
the vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 
carefully at moderate speed.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a 
P
e
uge
Ot
  dealer or a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.
