Get Safety -> Electronic stability control (ESC) Guide for Peugeot 308 4 Door 2021-2025

Safety

During an update to the vehicle's

on-board telematics system, the

ASSISTANCE system will be unavailable.

ASSISTANCE

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS)/Electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability

and handling during braking, and enable greater

control while cornering, particularly on poor or

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of

emergency braking.

► If the vehicle breaks down, press button 2

for more than 2 seconds to request assistance

(conﬁrmed by a voice message*).

► Pressing again immediately cancels the

request.

If you beneﬁt from the Peugeot Connect

Packs oﬀer with the SOS and Assistance

Pack included, there are additional services

available to you in your personal space, via

the website for your country.

For information about the SOS and

Assistance Pack, please refer to the general

conditions for these services.

Privacy mode allows you to manage the

level of sharing (data and/or location)

between your vehicle and PEUGEOT.

It can be conﬁgured in the Settings touch

screen application.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)

manages overall braking pressure on each

individual wheel.

If you purchased your vehicle outside the

PEUGEOT dealer network, you are

invited to have a dealer check the

conﬁguration of these services and, if desired,

modify it as required. In a multilingual country,

services can be conﬁgured to use the oﬃcial

national language of your choice.

► When braking in an emergency, depress

the pedal very ﬁrmly and maintain this

pressure.

Electronic stability control

(ESC)

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

The electronic stability control programme

includes the following systems:

– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic

brake force distribution (EBFD).

– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

– Post Collision Safety Brake (PCSB).

– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

The ﬁxed illumination of this warning lamp

signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive

carefully at a moderate speed.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

For technical reasons and in particular to

improve the quality of telematics services

provided to customers, the Manufacturer

reserves the right to carry out updates to the

vehicle's on-board telematics system at any

time.

– Dynamic stability control (DSC).

– Trailer stability assist (TSA).

This warning lamp, when lit together with

the STOP and ABS warning lamps,

* Depending on the geographic coverage of the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems and the oﬃcial national language chosen by the owner of the

vehicle.

The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is available from dealers or on the website for your country.

Safety

accompanied by a message and an audible

signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.

You must stop the vehicle.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch oﬀ

the ignition.

The system is not operational if the capability

of the vehicle is to trigger and execute the

automatic post collision braking is not available,

as it can occur in destructive accidents or in

other speciﬁc accident scenarios.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/

Dynamic stability control

(DSC)

Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises

traction by using engine braking and by applying

the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the

vehicle's directional stability.

If there is a diﬀerence between the vehicle’s

trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the

dynamic stability control system automatically

uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired

path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

These systems are activated automatically every

time the vehicle is started.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

It is possible to override the automatic braking by

pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

Operating conditions

The system operates, if the following conditions

are met:

– Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners

have been deployed by the collision.

– Braking systems and electric functions remain

continuously operational during and after

collision.

After an impact

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualiﬁed workshop.

– Driver has not depressed the brake or

accelerator pedal.

Emergency braking

assistance (EBA)

This system reduces the emergency stopping

distance, by optimising the braking pressure.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which

the brake pedal is depressed. The eﬀect of this

is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and

an increase in braking eﬃciency.

These systems are activated in the event

of a problem with grip or trajectory

(conﬁrmed by this warning lamp ﬂashing on the

instrument panel).

Malfunction

In the event of a

malfunction, one of these

warning lamps will come on ﬁxed on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the Service

warning lamp, the display of a message and an

audible signal.

Deactivation/Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle

that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on

loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the

DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of

grip permits.

On GT Pack versions

Post Collision Safety Brake

(APCB)

If an accident is detected, the vehicle initiates

automatic post collision braking. The goal of this

system is to reduce the risk of further collisions if

the driver does not react.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Safety

Malfunction

on Identiﬁcation markings, refer to the

corresponding section.

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.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

When towing, this system reduces the risk of the

vehicle or trailer snaking.

Operation

ASR/DSC

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.

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.

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).

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).

For information on weights and towed loads,

refer to the Engine technical data and towed

loads section or your vehicle’s registration

certiﬁcate.

► Press this button to deactivate/reactivate the

DSC/ASR system (conﬁrmed by the indicator

lamp coming on/going out).

Deactivation/reactivation of the DSC/ASR

system is indicated by this indicator lamp

on the instrument panel coming on/going out and

the display of a message.

The DCS/ASR system is automatically

reactivated every time the ignition is switched oﬀ.

On non-GT Pack versions

The ASR system is deactivated/

reactivated in the ADAS touch screen

application.

Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR

system is indicated by this indicator lamp

on the instrument panel coming on/going out and

the display of a message.

The ASR system is automatically reactivated

every time the ignition is switched oﬀ or at

speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)

To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,

refer to the corresponding section.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights

up on the instrument panel, accompanied

by a message and an audible signal.

Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
