Safety
Limits of operation
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 spin freely
and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
F Pressing switches off the DSC system, the
indicator lamp in the button comes on. You
can the spin the wheels to regain grip.
F Pressing again switches the system
back on.

Advice
The DSC system is switched on automatically
every time the engine is started or after
reaching a speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
Except for the 1.6 litre THP 155, THP 200 and
THP 208 engines, where the button has to
be pressed; the indicator lamp in the button
stays off.
Fixed illumination
The DSC/ASR system has a fault.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
