Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically 
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a 
problem of grip or trajectory.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the 
ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely 
and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of 
grip permits.Deactivation is done in the Driving  
menu of the touch screen.
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched back on or 
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it 
manually:
Operating fault
This is indicated by flashing of this 
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a 
message and an audible signal, 
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the systems checked.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
The ASR system no longer acts on the 
operation of the engine or the brakes in the 
event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
ASR / DSC
These systems offer increased safety 
in normal driving, but they should not 
encourage the driver to take extra risks 
or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip 
(rain, snow, black 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.
The correct operation of these 
systems depends on observation of 
the manufacturer's recommendations 
regarding as much the wheels (tyres 
and rims), braking and electronic 
components as the assembly and repair 
procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness 
of these systems in wintry conditions, 
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow 
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain 
neutral behaviour on the road.
After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. Reactivation is done in the Driving
 
menu of the touch screen.
It is confirmed by the display of a 
message.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.The under-inflation detection system 
does not replace the need for vigilance 
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
check the tyre pressures (including the 
spare wheel) every month as well as 
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs 
road holding, extends braking distances 
and causes premature tyre wear, 
particularly under arduous conditions 
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for 
your vehicle can be found on the tyre 
pressure label.
For more information on the 
Identification markings
, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.
The system monitors the pressures in the four 
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four 
wheel speed sensors with reference values, 
which must be reinitialised ever y time the 
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel 
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one 
or more tyres.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing 
snow chains.Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1
  hour or after a journey of less than 
6
  miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.

It is necessary to reinitialise the system every 
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted, 
and after changing one or more wheels.
Reinitialisation
This is given by fixed illumination of 
this warning lamp, accompanied by 
an audible signal and, depending on 
equipment, the display of a message.
Under-inflation alert

braking.

 top the vehicle as soon as it is safe 
to

 f you have a compressor, such as the one 
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check 
the pressures of the four tyres when cold.

F
 
I
 n the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare 
wheel (depending on equipment).
The loss of pressure detected does not 
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual 
check. The alert is maintained until the system 
is reinitialised.Before reinitialising the system, ensure 
that the pressures of the four tyres are 
correct for the use of the vehicle and in 
line with the recommendations on the 
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation alert can only 
be relied on if the reinitialisation of 
the system has been done with the 
pressures in the four tyres correctly 
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system 
does not give a warning if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Towing the vehicle
The towing eye is stowed in a tool box, under 
the boot floor.
For more information on access to the Tool kit, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Access to the tools General recommendations
In the following cases, you must always call 
on a professional recovery service:
-

Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
Observe the legislation in force in your 
c o unt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle 
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the 
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
