Safety
05
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 dealer or a qualified workshop.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact
Have it checked by a 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.
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).
E-TENSE 4X4 360
The dynamic stability control is optimised
to be able to react later on this vehicle.
Deactivation/Reactivation
In exceptional conditions (e.g.moving a vehicle
that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on
loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of grip
permits.
The ASR system is deactivated/
reactivated in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR
system is indicated by this indicator lamp
on the instrument panel coming on/going out and
the display of a message.
The ASR system is automatically reactivated
every time the ignition is switched off or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In 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 dealer or a qualified
workshop.
ASR/DSC
These 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 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.
