electronic stability control (eSC)

electronic stability control (eSC) incorporating

the following systems:

Emergency braking assistance

(EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables you to

reach the optimum braking pressure more

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping

distance.

It is triggered according 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 the effectiveness of the braking.

anti-lock braking system (ABS) and

electronic brake force distribution (eBFD),

emergency braking assistance (eBA),

wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction

control,

dynamic stability control (DSC).

Press the central part of the steering

wheel.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

Definitions

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

and electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

This system improves the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking

and contributes towards improved control on

corners, in particular on poor or slippery road

surfaces.

The ASR system (also known as Traction

Control) optimises traction in order to limit

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.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path

followed by the vehicle and that required by

the driver, the DSC 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.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

The eBFD manages the braking pressure

wheel by wheel.

Safety

Intelligent traction

control

If fitted to your vehicle, it has a system to help

driving on snow: intelligent traction control.

This system detects situations of difficult

surface adhesion that could make it difficult to

move off or make progress on deep fresh snow

or compacted snow.

In these situations, intelligent traction

control limits the amount of wheel slip to

provide the best traction and trajectory control

for your vehicle.

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS) and electronic brake

force distribution (EBFD)

When changing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that these are approved

for your vehicle.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

The fixed illumination of this warning

lamp indicates that there is a fault

with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional

braking. Drive carefully at moderate

speed.

In emergency braking, press very

firmly and maintain this pressure.

When this warning lamp comes on,

coupled with the STOP and ABS

warning lamps, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message,

it indicates that there is a fault

with the electronic brake force

distribution (eBFD).

The use of snow tyres is strongly

recommended on surfaces offering low

levels of grip.

You must stop as soon as it is

safe to do so.

In both cases, have the system

checked by a PeugeoT dealer or

a qualified workshop as soon as

possible.

Operating fault

Press this button.

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message in the screen, this

indicates a fault with the system.

Contact a PeugeoT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

Turn the knob to this position.

The indicator lamp in the button or the knob

comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on

the operation of the engine.

The DSC system offers exceptional

safety in normal driving, but this should

not encourage the driver to take extra

risks or drive at high speed.

The correct operation of the system

depends on observation of the

manufacturer's recommendations

regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),

the braking components, the electronic

components and the PeugeoT

assembly and repair procedures.

After an impact, have the system

checked by a PeugeoT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically

each 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.

Reactivation

The system is reactivated automatically each

time the ignition is switched back on or from

30 mph (50 km/h).

However, below 30 mph (50 km/h) you can

manually reactivate the system.

This is indicated by flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Press this button.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate

the DSC system, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

Turn the knob to this position.

The indicator lamp in the button or the knob

goes off.

But it is recommended that the system be

reactivated as soon as possible.
