Dynamic stability control
(DSC)/Anti-slip regulation
(ASR)
Activation
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.
This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.
Deactivation can be configured in
the Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.

Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually:
Reactivation can be configured in
the Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a message.
Operating fault
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.
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.
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.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.
