Driving safely
SAFETY
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on.
- Press this button again to reactivate it
manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
The DSC and ASR systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems
depend on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and assembly
and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations,
Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control.
Load inertia control
The true total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a result, the centre of gravity of
the vehicle can move, both longitudinally
and in height.
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
Load inertia control estimates the true
total weight of the vehicle by analysing its
behaviour under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of
the DSC and ASR systems according to the
weight distribution in the vehicle. In critical
situations, your vehicle than remains more
securely on its intended trajectory.
