comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Operating check
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warn-
ing light comes on.
These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-

and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.

tion of the braking system or that the
handbrake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer’s recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning light comes on.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal.
In emergency braking,
press very firmly without
releasing the pressure.
