 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 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on 
braking, in particular on poor or 
slippery road surfaces. 
 HORN 
 Press one of the spokes of the steering  
wheel.  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 
malfunction of the ABS, which 
can cause a loss of control of the 
vehicle when braking. 
 When this warning light  
comes on, connected to 
the  STOP   warning light, 
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.  
  
In emergency braking, press  
 v e r y   fi   r m l y   w i t h o u t   r e l e a s i n g   t h e  
pressure.    
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA) 
 In an emergency, this system enables  
the optimum braking pressure to be 
reached more quickly, press the pedal 
 fi   r m l y   w i t h o u t   r e l e a s i n g   i t .   
 It is triggered by the speed at which the  
brake pedal is activated.  
This alters the resistance of the brake  
pedal under your foot.  
 To prolong the operation of the  
emergency braking assistance system: 
keep your foot on the brake pedal.

 TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) 
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (ESP) 
  Activation of the ASR and ESP  
systems  
 When the ignition is on, the ASR and  
ESP systems are always active.     Disarming the ASR/ESP systems  
 In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in  
mud or snow, or on loose ground...), 
it could prove useful to disarm the ASR 
and ESP systems to make the wheels 
spin and regain grip.  
  -  Press the switch, situated under the 
steering wheel on the right of the  
fascia.  
 The indicator light comes on 
accompanied by a message: 
the ESP and ASR systems 
no longer act on the engine 
operation, but continue to act 
on the brakes. 
  Operation of the ASR and 
ESP systems  
   T h e   w a r n i n g   l i g h t   fl   a s h e s   i f   
the ASR or ESP is activated.   
  These systems are linked and 
complement the ABS.  
 The ASR system optimises drive to  
prevent the wheels skidding, by acting 
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  
trajectory followed by the vehicle and 
that required by the driver, the ESP 
system 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. 
  
They engage again:   
   -   automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), 
  -   manually by pressing the switch  again.   
  Operating check   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the indicator 
light comes on, accompanied 
by an audible signal and a 
message on the display. 
 Contact a  PEUGEOT dealer  to have 
the system checked. 
  The ASR/ESP systems offer 
increased safety during normal 
driving, but should not incite the 
driver to take risks or to drive at 
high speed. 
 The operation of these systems is 
ensured if the recommendations 
of the manufacturer regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the 
braking components, the electronic 
 c o m p o n e n t s   a n d   t h e   fi   t t i n g   a n d   r e p a i r  
procedures within the  PEUGEOT 
network  are observed.  
 After an impact, have the system  
checked by a  PEUGEOT dealer .
