Operation of the system
– Upon switching on the ignition, the indicator
lamp lights up for a few seconds and then goes
out: the system is operating correctly.
–
The indic
ator lamp flashes red: emergency
battery is flat. This will be recharged after a few
minutes' driving.
–

The indic
ator lamp is fixed red: system
malfunction. The emergency and assistance call
services may not work.
–

If the indic
ator lamp does not light up when
the ignition is turned on, this is also a system
malfunction.
If the problem persists, contact a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
The malfunction of the system does not
prevent the vehicle from driving.
When an onboard system update is being
performed, the eCall (SOS) function is not
available.

Safety05
accompanied by a message and an audible signal,
indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
This system reduces the emergency stopping
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) /
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
These systems are activated in the event
of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The dynamic stability control is optimised
to be able to react later on this vehicle.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle
that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on
loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
The ASR system is deactivated/
reactivated in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR
system is indicated by this indicator lamp
on the instrument panel coming on/going out and
the display of a message.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic components,
as well as the assembly and repair procedures
provided by dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.

81
Safety05
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) must
not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if necessary,
to slow the vehicle (indicated by the flashing of
this warning lamp on the instrument panel and
the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads, refer
to the Engine technical data and towed loads
section or your vehicle’s registration certificate.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device, refer
to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The trailer stability control system
provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when it
is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiting system
This system reduces the pressure of the seat belt
on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their
protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may
trigger before and independently of airbag
deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt system
checked, and if necessary replaced, by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
