PSM sho uld always be switched o n during
“normal” driving.
However, it may be advantage o u s to switch off
PSM tempora rily in exceptional situations, for
example:
– On a loose surface or in deep snow,
– When “rocking the vehicle free”, or
– When using snow chains.
Switching off PSM
Press the PSM OFF button. PSM is switched
off after a short delay. The light-emitting diode
in the button is illuminated. When the PSM is
switched off, the multifunctional PSM light on
the instrument panel is lit and a message is
shown by the on-board computer. An acoustic
signal also sounds.
The following functions stabilize the vehicle in
emergency situations, even with PSM switched off:
– When PSM is off, the vehicle is stabilized as
soon as one of the two front wheels enters the
ABS control range.
– When PSM is off and Sport mode is on, the
vehicle is stabilized as soon as both front
wheels enter the ABS control range.
One-s i ded spinning of the wheels is reduced,
even with PSM switched off, to enable optimum
traction on all drive wheels.
Switching PSM back on
Press PSM OFF button. PSM is switched on
after a short delay. The light-emitting diode
in the button and the multifunctional PSM
light go out. The on-board comp uter shows a
message.
Sport mode
A sportier car s et-up is obtained when Sport mode
is switched on. PSM interventions are later than in
Norma l mode; the vehicle can be maneuvered with
greater agility at its performance limits, without
the need to dispense with the assistance of PSM
in emergency situations. This helps to achieve
optimal lap times, particul arly on race circuits and
a dry road surface.
Multifunctional PSM light
– The multifunctional light on the instrumen t
panel lights up for a lamp check when the
ignition is switched on.
– The light indicates a control operation by
flashing, including when PSM is switched off
