Safety
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument
panel flashes to indicate that they are
operating.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.

must not have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes in the
instrument panel and the brake lamps
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on towed loads and masses,
refer to the Technical data section or your
vehicle’s registration certificate
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but 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.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Deactivation / Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck
in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground,
etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR
system to freely spin the wheels and regain
traction.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a Towing device, refer to the corresponding
section.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Malfunction
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the

instrument panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 31 mph (50 km/h).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
The trailer stability assist system offers
enhanced safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on towing
a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such as
towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
