Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
F Press the central part of the steering wheel.
Hazard warning lamps
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during
emergency braking.
EBFD ensures total management of the braking
pressure, wheel by wheel.
Operation

F When you press this red button, all four
direction indicators flash.
It can operate with the ignition off.
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It triggers according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, it indicates an ABS system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The ESC programme incorporates the following
systems:
-
anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
Drive carefully at a moderate speed and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
