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).
For more information on weights and towed
loads, refer to the Engine technical data
and towed loads section or your vehicle’s
registration certificate.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
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 PEUGEOT
dealers.
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.
Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system
improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended that you fit the vehicle
with winter tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable
tyres.
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!
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Recommendations
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The vehicle is designed principally
to drive on tarmac roads, but it may
occassionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving:
– Driving on terrain that can damage the
underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in
particular.
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,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
– Crossing a waterway.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
