Peugeot Rifter 2020-2023 Owner's Manual Safety Electronic stability control (ESC)

95Safety5Horn►Press the central part of the steering wheel.Pedestrian horn (Electric)This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is approaching.The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle is moving and at speeds of up to 19 mph (30km/h), in forward or reverse gear.This function cannot be deactivated.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel.Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.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.
96SafetyAnti-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 (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 malfunction, this warning lamp lights up 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.
