Safety
surface (ice, oil, etc.), the ABS system is
liable to lengthen braking distances.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure,
even on a slippery road surface.
After an impact
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Switching on
The DSC system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by the flashing of this
warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
This system cannot be deactivated by the driver.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
58
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Deactivation / Reactivation
The ASR system is activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
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 as soon as the level of
grip permits.
ASR
► Press this button to deactivate / reactivate the
function.
The illumination of the button indicator lamp,
accompanied by a message on the instrument
panel display screen, indicates that the ASR
system is deactivated.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
