Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle's directional stability.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.

a message and an audible signal.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) must
not have any faults.
ASR/DSC
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
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.
These systems are activated in the
event of a problem with grip or

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).
Deactivation/Reactivation
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.
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
provided by dealers.
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.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
Malfunction
The settings are changed via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation/reactivation is confirmed by the
display of a message.
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!
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched on or at speeds
over 31 mph (50 km/h).
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
