HANDBRAKE
Operating abnormality
Any operating abnormality is indi-
cated by an audible signal, accom-
panied by the message 'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function dis-
play, by a "-" a n d l a s h i n g o f t h e
Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substan-
tial knock when changing from P to
R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h),
respecting local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged. When the vehicle is be-
ing driven, illumination of
this warning light and of the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display, indicates that the handbrake
is still on or has not been properly
released.
When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels to im-
mobilise them against the
pavement, pull the hand-
brake and engage a gear.

Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.

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-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), make sure that these are ap-
proved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus reduc-
ing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The ef-
fect of this is a reduction in the resist-
ance of the pedal and an increase in
b r a k i n g e f i c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s i r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
pressure.
Depending on the force of the decel-
eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel-
eration.
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 vehicle when
braking. When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP
warning light, accom-
panied 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 i r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
p r e s s u r e .

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) D i s a r m i n g t h e A S R / E S P
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.
F Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the left. O p e r a t i n g c h e c k
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
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components
and the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
O p e r a t i o n o f t h e A S R a n d E S P
systems The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on, ac-
companied by a message
on the multifunction display :
the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.
T h e s e a r e t r i g g e r e d a g a i n :
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
l i g h t l a s h e s a n d t h e w a r n i n g
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
T h e w a r n i n g l i g h t l a s h e s i f
the ASR or ESP is activated.
A c t i v a t i o n o f t h e A S R a n d E S P
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
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
system automatically acts on the en-
gine 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.
