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.
►ꢀ Select “Snow”, “Mud” or “Sand” depending on
the context.

improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
►ꢀ To deactivate, select “Normal” mode or any
other driving mode.
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended that you fit the vehicle with
winter tyres.
The system is automatically deactivated when
the ignition is switched off.
For optimum system performance, contact a
dealer to choose the most suitable tyres.
Operating modes
Snow
Depending on version, the vehicle is
fitted with 4 seasons tyres, marked
winter 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake.
When combined with these tyres, the system
offers a good compromise between safety, grip
and driveability.
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.
This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel
spin to offer maximum traction according to the
snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick snow;
very little on ice). The wheel spin is also adapted
to the conditions encountered when driving uphill
by optimising the acceleration of the vehicle.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
Intelligent traction control
("Snow motion")
Activation/Deactivation
Mud
(Depending on version)
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
traction torque as possible.
The intelligent traction control system helps
improve grip when driving on snow.
This system detects situations of poor surface
grip that could make it difficult to move off or
make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as
possible.
In these situations, the system limits the amount
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and
trajectory control for the vehicle.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
►ꢀ Press the DRIVE MODE button; the various
modes are displayed on the instrument panel.
The use of winter tyres is strongly
recommended on slippery surfaces.
