Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of these
systems, this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It
is therefore important for your safety to keep
these systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and
160 km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer
movements (snaking), it applies the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the
instrument panel and the brake lamps
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the
Engine Technical Data and Towed
Loads
section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate
To ensure safe driving with a
Towing device
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
