Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Safety Electronic stability control (ESC)

73Safety5Horn►Press the central part of the steering wheel.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) and 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.EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.This warning lamp comes on fixed in the event of an ABS malfunction.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive carefully at a moderate speed.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.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 as soon as it is safe to do so.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.The normal operation of the ABS may result in slight vibrations in the brake pedal.When braking in an emergency, press very firmly and maintain this pressure.When changing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that these are approved for your vehicle.After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.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 in relation 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 braking efficiency.Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control (DSC)Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using engine braking and by applying the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It also enhances the vehicle's directional stability while accelerating.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.
74SafetyMalfunctionIf 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.The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving, provided that the recommendations on towing a trailer are observed. It should not encourage the driver to take risks, such as towing a trailer in adverse operating conditions (overloading, failure to observe the trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive at excessive speeds.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 ControlA special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.This system, optimised for operation in a range of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most slippery conditions (encountered during normal passenger car use).They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are operating.Deactivation / ReactivationIn exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.However, it is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.These systems are reactivated automatically every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 mph (50km/h).At speeds below 31 mph (50km/h), the systems can be reactivated manually.Press this button or turn the thumbwheel to this position.The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer have an effect on engine operation.To reactivate the system:Press this button. OrTurn the thumbwheel to this position.The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel goes off.MalfunctionIn the event of a system malfunction, this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an onscreen message and audible signal.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the systems checked.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 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 snaking.OperationThe 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 160km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer movements (snaking), it acts on 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 certificateTo ensure safe driving with a Towing device, refer to the corresponding section.

Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal.A five-position selector knob allows you to choose the setting best suited to the driving conditions encountered.An indicator lamp associated with each mode comes on, accompanied by the display of a message to confirm your choice.Operating modesStandard (ESC)This mode is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encountered on the road.Every time the ignition is switched off, the system automatically resets to this mode.SnowThis mode adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off.(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)This 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 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 (50 km/h))SandThis mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of getting stuck in the sand.(mode active up to 75 mph (120km/h))Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
