In an emergency, this system enables you to

reach the optimum braking pressure more

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping

distance.

It is triggered 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.

the dynamic stability control (DSC).

In these situations, Intelligent Traction

Control limits the amount of wheel slip to

provide the best traction and trajectory control.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,

mud…), it can be useful to temporarily

deactivate the dynamic stability control and

wheel anti-slip systems to allow a degree of

wheel spin and so recover grip.

It is recommended that the system be

reactivated as soon as possible.

Snow tyres are strongly recommended on

surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

Definitions

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

and electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

This system improves the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking

and provides improved control in corners, in

particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

The ASR system (also known as Traction

Control) 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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path

followed by the vehicle and that required by

the driver, the DSC 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.

The electronic brake force distribution system

manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

In emergency braking, press

very firmly without releasing the

pressure.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically

each time the vehicle is started.

As soon as they detect a problem of grip or

trajectory, these systems act on the operation if

the engine and brakes.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

This is indicated by flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument

panel.

Safety

DSC/ASR

The DSC and ASR systems offer

increased safety in normal driving, but

they 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 the DSC and ASR

systems activated in all conditions, and

particularly in difficult conditions.

The correct operation of these

Deactivation

Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate

the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn

freely and regain grip.

The systems are reactivated automatically each

time the ignition is switched back on or from

30 mph (50 km/h).

Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate

them manually:

Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of

grip permits.

systems depends on observation of

the manufacturer's recommendations

regarding as much the wheels (tyres

and rims), braking and electronic

components as the assembly and repair

procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.

To benefit in full from the effectiveness

of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry

conditions, the vehicle must be fitted

with four snow tyres, allowing the the

vehicle to retain neutral behaviour on

the road.

Press this button.

The indicator lamp in the button comes on.

The DSC and ASR systems no longer act

on the operation of the engine and on the

brakes in the event of a involuntary change of

trajectory.

Operating fault

Illumination of this warning lamp

and the lamp in the deactivation

button, accompanied by an audible

signal and a message, indicate a

fault with the system.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

After an impact, have these systems

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.
