Safety
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR
system is indicated by this indicator
lamp on the instrument panel com-
ing on/going out and the display of a
message.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.

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.
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.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h) Reactivation is
manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
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.
These systems are activated in the
event of a problem with grip or trajec-
tory (confirmed by this warning lamp
flashing on the instrument panel).
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.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Operation
The ASR system is deactivated/ re-
activated in the ADAS touch screen
application.
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
