Driving safely
Operation of the ASR
and ESP systems
Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
The LED flashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Deactivating the ASR/ESP
systems
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
The warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP)
Good practice
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
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.
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.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the ESP OFF
position (depending on
model).
ESP OFF
-
The warning lamp comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no longer
come into play.
They engage again:
automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
Use the ESP to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
-
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
-
manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model).
