TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Disarming the ASR/ESP
systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
☞ Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the right.
The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems are
disarmed.
These are triggered again:
☞ automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
☞ manually by pressing the switch
again.
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systems
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated.
Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light flashes and the warn-
ing light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ESP system offers
exceptional safety in nor-
mal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of this sys-
tem depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components, as well as
the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
