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.
