flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument
panel and the brake lamps coming on).
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the Engine technical data and towed
loads section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Operating modes
Snow
5
This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel
spin to offer maximum traction according to the
snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick
snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also
adapted to the conditions encountered when
driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of
the vehicle.
Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system
improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended that you fit the vehicle
with winter tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable
tyres.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Mud
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable
spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise
clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the
same time, the wheel with the most grip is
controlled in such a way as to transmit as much
traction torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally
to drive on tarmac roads, but it may
occassionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving:
– Driving on terrain that can damage the
underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in
particular.
The trailer stability control system
provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
– Crossing a waterway.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.
