Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding
of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the engine
to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required
difficult on deep fresh snow or compacted
by the driver, within the limits of the laws of
Intelligent traction control
Activation
system ("Snow motion")
Your vehicle has a system to improve traction
on snow: intelligent traction control.
This system detects situations of low adhesion
that might make moving off and progress
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.

physics.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
In these situations the intelligent traction
control system regulates the amount of wheel
slip to optimise the traction and trajectory
control of your vehicle.
For vehicles with Hydractive III + suspension,
manual adjustment of ground clearance to
the intermediate position improves further the
ability to make progress in deep snow (see the
relevant paragraph).
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces with low
adhesion.
