Peugeot 5008 2009-2016 Owner's Manual Safety Electronic stability control (ESC)

Safety1365008_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2015Electronic stability control (ESC)DefinitionsAnti-slip regulation (ASR)The ASR system (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction in order to limit wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration.Dynamic stability control (DSC)If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics.Emergency braking assistance (EBA)In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pressure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance.It is triggered according to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and contributes towards improved control in corners, in particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking.The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.Snow driving assistance (Intelligent Traction Control)Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control.This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult surface adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control limits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful to temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control and wheel anti-slip systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:-anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),-emergency braking assistance (EBA),-wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,-dynamic stability control (DSC).
7Safety1375008_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2015OperationWhen this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.Dynamic stability control (DSC) and anti-slip regulation (ASR)This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.ActivationThese systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.As soon as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory, these systems act on the operation if the engine and brakes.Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Safety1385008_en_Chap07_securite_ed01-2015DeactivationIn exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn freely and regain grip.Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of grip permits.FPress this button.The indicator lamp in the button comes on.The DSC and ASR systems no longer act on the operation of the engine and on the brakes in the event of a involuntary change of trajectory.ReactivationThe systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30mph (50 km/h).Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate them manually:Operating faultIllumination of this warning lamp and the lamp in the deactivation button, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, indicate a fault with the system.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.FPress this button again.The indicator lamp in the button goes off.DSC/ASRThe DSC and ASR systems offer increased safety in normal driving, but they should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It is therefore important for your safety to keep the DSC and ASR systems activated in all conditions, and particularly in difficult conditions.The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding as much the wheels (tyres and rims), braking and electronic components as the assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.To benefit in full from the effectiveness of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry conditions, the vehicle must be fitted with four snow tyres, allowing the the vehicle to retain neutral handling on the road.After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
