Safety -> Electronic stability control (ESC) for Your Peugeot 5008 SUV Second Generation (2017-2023)

Safety  
For technical reasons, in particular to  
improve the quality of telematic services  
for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the  
right to carry out updates to the vehicle's  
on-board telematic system at any time.  
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),  
ensure that these are approved for your  
vehicle.  
Anti-lock braking system  
(ABS) and 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.  
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by  
wheel.  
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the  
event of an ABS malfunction.  
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive  
carefully at a moderate speed.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop as soon as possible.  
After an impact, have these systems  
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
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.  
Emergency braking  
assistance (EBA)  
In an emergency, this system enables you  
to reach the optimum braking pressure more  
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping  
distance.  
It is triggered in relation 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 braking efficiency.  
Electronic stability control  
(ESC)  
The electronic stability control programme  
includes the following systems:  
– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic  
brake force distribution (EBFD).  
– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).  
– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).  
This warning lamp, when lit together with  
the STOP and ABS warning lamps,  
accompanied by a message and an audible  
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.  
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Intelligent traction control  
system  
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system  
to help with driving on snow: intelligent traction  
control.  
This system detects situations of poor surface  
grip that could make it difficult to move off  
or make progress on deep fresh snow or  
compacted snow.  
– Dynamic stability control (DSC).  
– Trailer stability assist (TSA).  
The normal operation of the ABS may  
result in slight vibrations in the brake  
pedal.  
When braking in an emergency, press  
very firmly and maintain this pressure.  
In these situations, the system limits the amount  
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and  
trajectory control for the vehicle.

Safety  
The use of snow tyres is strongly  
recommended on surfaces offering low  
levels of grip.  
system to freely spin the wheels and regain  
traction.  
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of  
grip permits.  
recommendations relating to the wheels  
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic  
components, as well as the assembly and  
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT  
dealers.  
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to  
ensure that these systems remain effective  
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be  
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch  
screen menu.  
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)  
/ Dynamic stability control  
(DSC)  
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using  
engine braking and by applying the brakes on  
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It  
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability  
while accelerating.  
Deactivation is confirmed by the  
illumination of this indicator lamp in the  
instrument panel and the display of a message.  
The ASR system is reactivated automatically  
every time the ignition is switched back on or  
from 31 mph (50 km/h).  
Trailer stability assist (TSA)  
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the  
vehicle or trailer snaking.  
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).  
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.  
They come into operation in the event of a grip  
or trajectory problem.  
This warning lamp on the instrument  
panel flashes to indicate that they are  
operating.  
Malfunction  
Operation  
The system is activated automatically when the  
ignition is switched on.  
The electronic stability control system (ESC)  
must not have any faults.  
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if  
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the  
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to  
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces  
engine power to slow down the vehicle.  
This warning lamp flashes in the  
instrument panel and the brake lamps  
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.  
For information on towed loads and masses,  
refer to the Technical data section or your  
vehicle’s registration certificate  
In the event of a system malfunction, this  
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by  
an onscreen message and audible signal.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop to have the systems checked.  
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.  
Deactivation / Reactivation  
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck  
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground,  
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR  
Correct operation of these systems depends  
on compliance with the manufacturer's  
91  
Safety  
To ensure complete safety while driving with  
a Towing device, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
Operating modes  
Advanced Grip Control  
(Depending on version)  
A special, patented traction control system,  
which improves driveability on snow, mud and  
sand.  
This system, optimised for operation in a range  
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most  
slippery conditions (encountered during normal  
passenger car use).  
Malfunction  
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes  
on in the instrument panel, accompanied  
by a message and an audible signal.  
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce  
your speed and drive carefully!  
This system, which can be combined with all-  
season M+S (Mud and Snow) tyres, offers a  
compromise between safety, grip and driveability.  
The accelerator pedal should be pressed  
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the  
power of the engine. Operation at high engine  
speeds is completely normal.  
A five-position selector knob allows you to  
choose the setting best suited to the driving  
conditions encountered.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop to have the system checked.  
The trailer stability assist system offers  
enhanced safety in normal driving,  
provided that the recommendations on towing  
a trailer are observed. It should not  
encourage the driver to take risks, such as  
towing a trailer in adverse operating  
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the  
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated  
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive  
at excessive speeds.  
Standard (ESC)  
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  
wheel spin, based on the different levels  
of grip normally encountered on the road.  
Whenever the ignition is switched off, the  
system automatically resets to this mode.  
An indicator lamp associated with each mode  
comes on, accompanied by the display of a  
message to confirm your choice.  
In certain cases, the system may not detect  
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.  
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the  
system may not be able to prevent sudden  
trailer snaking.  
Snow  
This mode adapts its strategy to the  
conditions of grip encountered for each of  
the two front wheels on moving off.  
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))  
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)  
This mode, when moving off, allows  
considerable spin on the wheel with the  
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to

regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the  
most grip is controlled in such a way as to  
transmit as much torque as possible.  
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin  
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully  
as possible.  
However, it does not permit off-road driving  
such as:  
– driving on terrain which could damage the  
underbody or strip away components (fuel  
pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or  
stones in particular,

The system is not available:  
– if the speed of the vehicle is above 43  
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))  
– driving on terrain with steep gradients and  
poor grip,  
– crossing a waterway.  
mph (70 km/h),  
– if the speed of the vehicle is being  
controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control,  
depending on the type of gearbox.  
Sand  
This mode allows little spin on the two  
driving wheels at the same time to allow  
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of  
getting stuck in the sand.  
Hill Assist Descent  
Control  
System that provides assistance when  
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,  
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.  
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of  
control of the vehicle when descending, whether  
going forward or in reverse.  
During a descent, it assists the driver in  
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the  
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the  
brakes.  
Switching on  
By default, the system is not selected.  
The state of the function is not saved when the  
ignition is switched off.  
The driver can select the system when the  
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary  
or when moving at speeds up to approximately  
31 mph (50 km/h).  
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))  
Do not use the other modes on sand as  
the vehicle may become stuck.  
You can deactivate the ASR and  
DSC systems by turning the knob  
to the "OFF" position.  
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer  
act on the operation of the engine or of the  
brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.  
These systems are reactivated automatically  
from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the  
ignition is switched on.  
For the system to activate, the slope  
must be greater than 5 %.  
The system can be used with the gearbox in  
neutral.  
Recommendations  
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to  
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.  
With an automatic gearbox, the system can  
be used with the selector at N, D or R.  
► To select the system, at speeds below  
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until  
its green indicator lamp comes on; this lamp  
appears in grey in the instrument panel.  
The vehicle is designed principally to  
drive on tarmac roads, but it allows you to  
occasionally drive on other less passable  
terrain.
