Activation
Intelligent Traction Control
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to activate the system; the warning lamp in
the button comes on.
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
The system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control.
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h,
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
