the vehicle is started.
If deactivated, the system is reactivated automatically
from around 30 mph (50 km/h).

Electronic stability control (ESC)
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 on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th
e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e EBFD 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.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution
(EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure 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.th
e vehicle retains conventional
braking. Drive carefully at moderate
speed.
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 (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a PE

a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
Intelligent traction
control
If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help
driving on snow: intelligent traction control.
th

is system detects 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
for your vehicle.
th

e use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.

grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
th
is system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).
th

is mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel
spin, based on the different levels of grip
normally encountered on the road.

th
is mode adapts its strategy to the conditions
of grip encountered for each of the two front
wheels on moving off.

lace the knob in this position.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on to confirm your choice.
th

e accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine.
o
p
eration at high engine speeds
is completely normal. Different modes are provided:Snow
Standard (ESC)
Every time the ignition is switched off,
the system automatically resets to this
mode.
Associated with all-seasons Peak
Mountain Snow Flake tyres, this system
offers a compromise between safety,
adhesion and traction.
t
h

ese tyres work
equally well in winter and summer.
