depending on the deceleration, the
hazard warning lights come on auto-
matically. They switch off automati-
cally the first time you accelerate.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND ELECTRONIC
BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and mano-
evrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to
the STOP and ABS warn-
ing lights, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The effect
of this is a reduction in the resistance
of the pedal and an increase in brak-
ing efficiency.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releas-
ing the pressure.

The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP sys-
tem automatically acts on the engine
and the brake of one or more wheels,
in order to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws of
physics.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systemsThe warning light flashes
when the ASR or ESP is acti-
vated. Disarming
Reactivation:

Automatic if the ignition is switched
off.
 Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h).
 Manual by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light flashes and the warn-
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer’s recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the elec-
tronic components, as well as the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the ignition is on, the
ASR and ESP systems are
always activated. Operating check
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

Press the 'ESP OFF' switch,
located under the steering wheel to
the right.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction (speed greater
than 15 mph [25 km/h]).Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display, indicates
that under-inflation detection
is absent from one (or sev-
eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
Pressure check
With the ignition on and after
the engine oil level, this warn-
ing light comes on to indicate
that the system is measuring
the pressure of the tyres.
Pressure OK This warning light comes on
if all of the tyre pressure val-
ues measured are correct.
If one of the warning lights
described below appears,
refer to the corresponding paragraph.
If none of the lights appear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked. Flat tyre
This warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multi-function display, locat-
ing the deflated tyre.
Have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display locating the
punctured tyre, is followed
by illumination of the 'STOP'
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very deflated) tyre, and have the tyre
presure checked as soon as possible. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fitted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.
This system does not remove the
necessity for having the tyre pressure
(including that of the spare wheel)
checked regularly, to ensure optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
and to prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in the case of ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be dis-
turbed by radio broadcasts on a fre-
quency close to it.
Note:
if the damaged tyre is
temporarily stored in the boot,
it will again emit this message
to remind you of the neces-
sity of having it repaired. This will pre-
vent another warning of the same type
being displayed. Note:
this message is also
displayed when one of the
tyres is away from the vehi-
cle (being repaired) or when a
wheel without a sensor is fitted.

an audible signal which increases in
volume. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, the warning light remains on
until the driver fastens his seat belt.
Front seat belts with pre-
tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of a frontal
impact has been improved by
the introduction of seat belts with pre-
tensioner and force limiter connected
to the front air bags. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pre-ten-
sioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts firmly against the bodies of
the occupants.
