Peugeot 3008 2016-2023 Safety Electronic stability control (ESC)

87Safety5By default, depending on equipment, deactivate/reactivate geolocation by simultaneously pressing the 2 buttons, then press the "Peugeot Connect Assistance" button to confirm.If you purchased your vehicle outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, we invite you to have a dealer check the configuration of these services and, if desired, modify them to suit your wishes. In a multilingual country, configuration is possible in the official national language of your choice.For technical reasons, in particular to improve the quality of telematic services for customers, the Manufacturer reserves the right to carry out updates to the vehicle's on-board telematic system at any time.If you benefit from the Peugeot Connect Packs offer with the SOS and Assistance Pack included, there are additional services available to you in your personal space, via the website for your country.For information about the SOS and Assistance Pack, please refer to the general conditions for these services.Electronic stability control (ESC)The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems:Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).Emergency braking assistance (EBA).Anti-slip regulation (ASR).Dynamic stability control (DSC).Trailer stability assist (TSA).Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability and handling during braking, and enable greater control while cornering, particularly on poor or slippery road surfaces.ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of emergency braking.Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) manages overall braking pressure on each individual wheel.When braking in an emergency, depress the pedal very firmly and maintain this pressure.Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.The fixed illumination of this warning lamp signals that there is a fault with the ABS.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at a moderate speed.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps, accompanied by a message and an audible signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.You must stop the vehicle.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off the ignition.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your vehicle.After an impactHave it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Emergency braking assistance (EBA)This system reduces the emergency stopping distance, by optimising the braking pressure.It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
88SafetyIntelligent traction control(Depending on version)The intelligent traction control system helps improve grip when driving on snow.This system detects situations of poor surface grip that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, the system limits the amount of wheel spin to provide the best traction and trajectory control for the vehicle.The use of winter tyres is strongly recommended on slippery surfaces.Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises traction by using engine braking and by applying the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the vehicle's directional stability.If there is a difference between the vehicle’s trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the dynamic stability control system automatically uses engine braking and the brakes on one or more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired path, within the limits of the laws of physics.These systems are activated automatically every time the vehicle is started.These systems are activated in the event of a problem with grip or trajectory (confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the instrument panel).Deactivation/ReactivationIn exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip permits.This function is set via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting of this indicator lamp on the instrument panel and the display of a message.The ASR system is reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched off, or at speeds over 31 mph (50km/h).Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel, accompanied by the display of a message and an audible signal.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.ASR/DSCThese 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 provided by PEUGEOT dealers.In order to ensure that these systems remain effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow or all-season tyres is recommended. All four wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for your vehicle.All tyre specifications are listed on the tyre/paint label. For more information on Identification markings, refer to the corresponding section.Trailer stability assist (TSA)When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer snaking.
89Safety5OperationThe system is activated automatically when the ignition is switched on.The electronic stability control system (ESC) must not have any faults.The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160km/h).If the system detects that the trailer is snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise the trailer and reduces engine power, if necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel and the brake lamps coming on).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.MalfunctionIf a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message and an audible signal.To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and drive carefully!Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The trailer stability control system provides an extra safety feature under normal driving conditions, when following the recommendations for use of trailers and current legislation in force in your country. It must not encourage the driver to take extra risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable conditions of operation (e.g.excessive load, exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at excessive speed.In certain cases, the system may not detect trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the system may not be able to prevent sudden trailer snaking.Advanced Grip ControlThis special patented traction control system improves grip on snow, mud and sand.For optimum grip on snow, it is recommended that you fit the vehicle with winter tyres.For optimum system performance, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable tyres.RecommendationsThe vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads, but it may occassionally drive on other less passable terrain.However, it does not permit off-road driving:Driving on terrain that can damage the underbody or tear off elements (e.g.fuel pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in particular.Driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip.Crossing a waterway.Operating modesSnowThis mode constantly adapts the level of wheel spin to offer maximum traction according to the snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also adapted to the conditions encountered when driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of the vehicle.(mode active up to 50 mph (80km/h))MudThis mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to transmit as much traction torque as possible.When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's requirements as fully as possible.(mode active up to 31 mph (50km/h))SandThis mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
