Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
–

An
ti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–

Emergenc
y braking assistance (EBA).
–

An
ti-slip regulation (ASR).
–

Dynamic st
ability control (DSC).
–

Trailer st
ability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)/Electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
individual wheel.
► When braking in an emergency, depress the
pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp
signals that there is a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This warning lamp, when lit together with
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,

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.

Towing device
Load distribution
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable
load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by the Manufacturer.
We recommend having them fitted by a dealer
or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a dealer, they must still be
fitted in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function, and a towing device has been fitted
outside the dealer network, it is essential to
visit a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the detection system recalibrated - risk of
malfunction of the Hands-Free Tailgate Access
function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical data
section of this guide.
