* Depending on version.
Alarm*
- exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a 
door, the boot, the bonnet...
- interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in the 
volume in the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
- anti-tilt**
The system checks for any change in the 
attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle is lifted, 
moved or knocked.
Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out of 
service of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central 
control or the siren wiring are put out of service 
or damaged. For all work on the alarm system, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
** Depending on engine.
System which protects and provides a deterrent 
against theft and break-ins. It provides the 
following types of monitoring:

Electronic stability programme (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) 
and electronic brake force 
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking 
and contribute towards improved control in 
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road 
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of 
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system 
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to 
reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control) 
optimises traction in order to avoid 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, this system 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.

Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be 
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid 
the risk of snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted 
trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option 
or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball 
pack).

Trailer stability assist
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must 
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if 
the system detect oscillations (snaking) in the 
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
For information on the weights and towed 
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or 
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when To w i n g  
a  trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
It is available on vehicles with factory-fitted trailer wiring (preparation for towbar option or the towbar with quickly-detachable towball pack).
The correction is signalled by the 
flashing of this indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel and illumination of 
the brake lamps.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system, 
this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel, accompanied by 
the display of a message and an 
audible signal.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your 
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop
  to have the system checked. The trailer stability assist system offers 
increased safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on 
towing a trailer are observed. It should 
not encourage the driver to take risks, 
such as towing a trailer in adverse 
operating conditions (overloading, 
failure to observe the trailer nose 
weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, 
faulty braking system, ….) 
  or drive at 
too high a speed.
In certain certain cases, oscillation of 
the trailer may not be detected by the 
ESC system, particularly with a light 
t r a i l e r.
When driving on slippery or poor 
sur faces, the system may not be able to 
prevent sudden snaking of the trailer.
