SNOW dRIVING ASSISTANCE

(INTELLIGENT TRACTION CONTROL)

TRAjECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS

Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction

Control.

dYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (dSC) ANd

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)

This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difﬁcult

surface adhesion that could make it difﬁcult to move off or make

progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises

traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the

driving wheels and on the engine.

In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control limits the amount of

wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.

The electronic stability control acts on the brake of one or more wheels

and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the

driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.

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.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is

started.

These systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes as soon

as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory.

This is indicated by ﬂashing of this warning lamp in the

instrument panel.

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down,

stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the

deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a

message, indicate a fault with the system.

Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop to have the system

checked.

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 difﬁcult driving conditions (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 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.

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.

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.

This action also deactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning

lamps (except for the 1.6 THP 270 hp version).

Reactivation

The systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is

switched back on.

You can also reactivate them manually:

After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Press this button again.

This action also reactivates the automatic operation of hazard warning

lamps (except for the 1.6 THP 270 hp version).
