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 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.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
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.
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. Operating check
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 i 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.
They engage again:
F
automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
F manually by pressing the switch
again.
Operation of the ASR
and ESP systems
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.
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.
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.
