Deactivation / Reactivation
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic components,
as well as the assembly and repair procedures
used by dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
►ꢀ Press the DRIVE MODE button to choose one of
the three driving modes; the different modes are
displayed in the instrument panel.
►ꢀ Depending on the circumstances, select
"Snow", "Mud" or "Sand".
The chosen mode continues to be displayed in the
instrument panel.
►ꢀ To deactivate, select "Normal" mode or any
other driving mode.
The system is automatically deactivated when
the ignition is switched off.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground, etc.),
it may be useful to deactivate the ASR system to
freely spin the wheels and regain traction.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the
illumination of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Operating modes
Snow
Advanced Traction Control
This special patented traction control system
improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
This mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of
grip encountered for each of the two front wheels
on moving off.
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended to fit the vehicle with
winter tyres.
Malfunction
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the systems checked.
Mud
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable
spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise
clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the
same time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit as much
torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as
possible.
Activation/Deactivation
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but 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.
