CRUISE CONTROL
This cruise control, of the new gene-
ration, has a display on the instru-
ment panel to indicate the memorised
reference speed.
It enables the vehicle to maintain a
steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-
tivated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)
with at least fourth gear engaged for

gearbox, the lever must be in po-
sition D at a speed greater than
24 mph approx. (40 km/h), or in
at least second gear in sequential
mode. The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.

When the cruise control function is
activated, pressing this button ena-
bles you to display the distance re-
corders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the cruise control function.
Selecting the function
F
Place switch 1 in the CRUISE
position. The cruise control is
not yet active and no speed has
been memorised. The display
indicates in succession: First activation / memorising a
reference speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button
2 or 3. This
memorises the speed and the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

SAFETY

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
