TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL
(ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting 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 trajectory
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, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systems
The warning light flashes if the
ASR or ESP is activated.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in mud or
snow, or on loose ground...), it could prove
useful to disarm the ASR and ESP systems
to make the wheels spin and regain grip.
Press switch, situated under the steering
wheel on the left of the fascia.
The indicator light comes on
accompanied by the message
"ESP/ASR deactivated": the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
act on the engine operation, but continue to
act on the brakes.
They engage again:
automatically above 30 mph (50 kmh),
manually by pressing the switch again.
Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the message "ESP/ASR
not functioning" on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
Driving safety
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
