Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate 
Electronic stability control 
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic 
Stability Control) integrating the following 
systems:
– anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),– emergency braking assistance (EBA),– wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,– dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and  Electronic brake force distribution 
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and handling 
of your vehicle when braking and contributes 
towards improved control on bends, in particular 
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 
emergency braking.
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 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)
The ASR system (also known as Traction 
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 (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible signal and a 
message in an instrument panel screen, it 
indicates a fault with the anti-lock braking system 
(ABS) which could result in loss of control of the 
vehicle when braking.
If these warning lamps come on, 
accompanied by a message in the 
instrument panel screen, it indicates a fault with 
the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) 
system which could result in loss of control of the 
vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a 
bedding-in period of around 300 miles 
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this 
period, it is advisable to avoid any sudden, 
repeated and prolonged braking.
The ABS does not provide shorter  braking distances. On very slippery 
surfaces (ice, oil, etc.) the ABS may extend 
braking distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are approved for your 
vehicle.
For emergency braking, press the 
brake pedal very hard and do not 
release it, even on a slipper surface; you 
will then be able to continue steering the 
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.
After an impact, have these systems  checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

5Dynamic stability control 
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or 
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and 
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel 
display, indicates a malfunction of the DSC 
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every 
time the vehicle is started.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle 
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft 
ground, etc.), 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.
 
  
ASR
 
► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the function.
The illumination of the button indicator lamp, 
accompanied by a message on the instrument 
panel display screen, indicates that the ASR 
system is deactivated.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated 
every time the ignition is switched off
Malfunction
The lighting of this warning lamp,  accompanied by an audible signal and 
confirmed by a message on the instrument panel 
display, indicates a malfunction of the ASR 
system.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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, 
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.
Intelligent Traction Control
Traction assistance system on roads with low 
grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.).
This system makes it possible to detect the 
situations of precarious grip which can make the 
starting and the progress of the vehicle difficult.
In these situations, the Intelligent Traction 
Control system overrides the ASR system by 
transferring the driving force to the wheel with 
the greatest contact with the ground to optimise 
traction and trajectory tracking.

replaced by a fuse; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Compatibility of fuels  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734 
and EN16709 standards and containing up to 
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester 
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even 
occasionally, imposes special maintenance 
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".
  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940 
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel  (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, 
domestic fuel, etc.) is strictly prohibited (risk 
of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised  for use are those that meet the B715000 
standard.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel 
fuels could prevent the engine from operating 
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use 
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank 
more than 50 % full.At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle 
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s 
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular 
fuel may be required (specific octane rating, 
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct 
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve 
traction as well as the behaviour of the 
vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to  the front wheels. They must never be 
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your 
country on the use of snow chains and 
the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the 
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
205/70 R15 16 mm
215/70 R15 12 mm
225/70 R15 16 mm
215/75 R16 12 mm
225/75 R16 16 mm
For more information on snow chains, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips 
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.► Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent 
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.► Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before 
you leave, you practise fitting the snow 
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  that have been cleared of snow to avoid 
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road 
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
