7 ! SAFETY
The ASR/DSC systems offer ex- ceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommen- dations on: - wheels (tyres and rims), - braking components, - electronic components, - repair and assembly proce- dures. After an impact, have these sys- tems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. Deactivation hicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad- visable to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip. Press this button, located in the mid- dle of the dashboard. Illumination of the indicator lamp in the button indicates that the ASR and DSC systems are deactivated. Reactivation ically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Press this button again to reactivate them manually. Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a mal- function of these systems. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS Activation cally each time the vehicle is started. Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and dynamic stability control (DSC) They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem. This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the instru- ment panel. The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by act- ing on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability control acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics. |
