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 fl 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. Illumination of this warning light
and of the STOP warning light,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (while the vehicle is being
driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.
I f t h e b a t t e r y i s fl a t a n d t h e
lever is in position P , it will
be impossible to change
to another position.
In particular, do not force
the lever or there is a risk the gear-
box may be damaged. When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards
the pavement and pull the
handbrake.
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.

71SAFETY-
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
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.
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 re-
sistance of the pedal and an increase
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.
Depending on the force of the de-
celeration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on
acceleration.
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.
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. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very
