Peugeot 2008: Safety / Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system improves grip on snow, mud and
sand.
For
optimum grip on snow, it is recommended that you fit the vehicle with winter
tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for advice on
the right tyre fitting.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads, but it
allows you to occasionally drive on other less passable terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving such as:
- driving on terrain which could damage the underbody or strip away
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones in
particular,
- driving on terrain with steep gradients and poor grip,
- crossing a waterway.
Operating modes
Snow
This 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))
Mud
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))
Sand
This 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 (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes
on sand as the vehicle may become stuck.
Activation/Deactivation

- Press the DRIVE MODE button to choose one of the three driving
modes; the different modes are displayed in the instrument panel.
- Depending on the circumstances, select "Snow", "Mud" or "Sand".
The chosen mode continues to be displayed in the instrument panel.
- To deactivate, select "Normal" mode or any other driving mode.
The system is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched off.
The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)...
System that provides assistance when descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of control of the vehicle when
descending, whether going forward or in reverse...
