Get Safety -> Electronic stability control (ESC) Guide for Peugeot Rifter 4 Door 2003-2017

Safety

Emergency braking assistance

(EBA)

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

Electronic stability control

(ESC)

This system allows control of the vehicle to be

retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid

the risk of snaking.

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 programme

incorporating the following systems:

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).

Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

Dynamic stability control (DSC).

Automatic post-collision braking (APCB).

Trailer stability assist (TSA).

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS) and electronic brake

force distribution (EBFD)

The fixed illumination of this warning

lamp signals that there is a fault with

the ABS.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

This system optimises traction in order to

avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of

the driving wheels and on the engine. It also

improves the directional stability of the vehicle

on acceleration.

Definitions

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive

carefully at moderate speed.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

and electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

These systems improve the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking

and contribute towards improved control in

corners, in particular on poor or slippery road

surfaces.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

The EBFD system manages the braking

pressure wheel by wheel.

Illumination of this warning lamp,

coupled with the STOP and ABS

warning lamps, accompanied by

the display of a message and an

audible signal, signals that there is

a fault with the electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD).

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path

followed by the vehicle and that required by the

driver, this system monitors each wheel and

automatically acts on the brake of one or more

wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle

to the required path, within the limits of the laws

of physics.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Call a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Safety

To reactivate the system:

Press this button.

Activation

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

These systems are activated automatically

every time the vehicle is started.

As soon as they detect a problem of grip or

trajectory, these systems act on the operation

of the engine and brakes.

When braking in an emergency, press

very firmly and maintain this pressure.

Turn the dial to this position.

This is indicated by this warning

lamp flashing in the instrument

panel.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

The indicator lamp in the button or the dial

goes off.

Deactivation/Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that

is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose

soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the

DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can

move freely and regain grip.

Malfunction

Illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by the display of

a message and an audible signal,

indicates a fault with the system.

After an impact, have these systems

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

It is however recommended that the systems

be reactivated as soon as possible.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the systems checked.

These systems are reactivated automatically

every time the ignition is switched off, or from

31 mph (50 km/h).

However, below 31 mph (50 km/h) you can

reactivate them manually.

Dynamic stability control

(DSC) and anti-slip

regulation (ASR)

To deactivate the systems, press

this button or turn the dial to this

position.

The indicator lamp in the button or dial comes

on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer act on the

operation of the engine.

Safety

Malfunctions

Post Collision Safety Brake

(PCSB)

With automatic post-collision braking, in the

event of an accident, the ESC system triggers

an automatic braking action in order to reduce

the risk of cumulative collisions by rebound, for

example, if the driver does not react.

ASR/DSC

These 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 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.

Braking systems fault

lamps.

Automatic braking intervenes after a frontal,

lateral or rear impact.

Airbags or pyrotechnic

pretensioning systems fault

Conditions for operation

The correct operation of these

collision.

systems depends on observation of

the manufacturer's recommendations

regarding both the wheels (tyres and

rims), braking and electronic components

and the assembly and repair procedures

used by PEUGEOT dealers.

Simultaneous illumination of these two warning

lamps.

Drive carefully.

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible.

The use of snow tyres is recommended,

in order to be able to benefit from the

efficiency of these systems in winter

conditions.

Automatic braking is accompanied by

illumination of the vehicle's brake lamps.

In this case, it is essential to equip the

four wheels with tyres approved for your

vehicle.

The system does not intervene if driver

action is detected:

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

Accelerator pedal pressed.

Brake pedal pressed.

When towing, this system reduces the risk of

the vehicle or trailer swaying.

The system works within the limits of the

laws of physics.

It is the driver's responsibility to

continuously adapt the vehicle's speed to

the driving and road conditions.
