Peugeot 208: Dynamic stability control (DSC)

Peugeot 208 Owners Manual

Activation

This system is activated automatically each time the vehicle is started.

It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.

This is indicated by flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument panel.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.

But it is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.

Press the switch.

The indicator lamp in the switch comes on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.

Reactivation

The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

Press the switch again to reactivate it manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.

The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct operation of the system depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
