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 manoeu-
v r a b i l i t y o f y o u r v e h i c l e o n b r a k i n g ,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

a p p r o v e d .
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 l o s s o f c o n t r o l o f t h e v e h i c l e w h e n
braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
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
t h e v e h i c l e w h e n b r a k i n g . Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus redu-
cing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
t h e b r a k e p e d a l i s a c t i v a t e d .
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s 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.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
v i b r a t i o n s o f t h e b r a k e p e d a l .
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure.

Disarming the passenger air

To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-

a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-

It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.
SIDE AIR BAGS AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door

The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
