Safety
Deactivation of the TRC and DSC systems
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal,
it indicates an electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD) system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.
F With the vehicle stopped, press the button
for more than 3 seconds.
These warning lamps come on: the
TRC and DSC systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine.
Activation of these systems
is signalled by flashing of this
indicator in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
for the DSC system.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Deactivation
Reactivation
The TRC and DSC systems reactivate
automatically each time the engine is started.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
F
Press the button again to
reactivate them manually.

In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, …), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC and TRC systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
When only the TRC system has been
deactivated, it reactivates as soon as the speed
of the vehicle increases.
If the TRC and DSC systems have both
been deactivated, they do not reactivate by
themselves, even if the speed of the vehicle
increases.
In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
It is recommended that the systems are
reactivated as soon as possible however.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Deactivating TRC alone
F Press the button briefly.
Operating fault
Activation
This warning lamp comes on: the
TRC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal,
this indicates a fault with the system.
