instrument panel).
ASR/DSC
The electronic stability control system (ESC) must
not have any faults.
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.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The dynamic stability control is optimised
to be able to react later on this vehicle.
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to 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.
The settings are changed via the Driving/
Vehicle touch screen menu.
Malfunction
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!
Deactivation/reactivation is confirmed by the
display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched on or at speeds
over 31 mph (50 km/h).
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
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,
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
