SAFETY When  this  warning  lamp  
comes  on,  it  indicates  that 
there is a malfunction of the 
ABS,  which  can  cause  a 
loss of control of the vehicle 
when braking. 
 Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. 
 When these warn-
ing  lamps  come 
on simultaneously, 
it  indicates  that 
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the 
parking brake has not been released 
fully,  which  can  cause  a  loss  of  con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.  
  
Stop immediately.   
 Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. 
 Normal  operation  of  the ABS  
may  make  itself  felt  by  slight 
vibrations of the brake pedal.  
  
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.     TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)  
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (ESP)  
 These  systems  are  linked  and  sup- 
plement the ABS.  
 The  ASR  system  optimises  drive  to  
prevent  the  wheels  skidding,  by  act-
ing on the brakes of the driving 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 
brake of one or more wheels and on 
the engine to put the vehicle back on 
course,  within  the  limits  of  the  laws 
of physics. 
  Operating check 
  Operation of the ASR and ESP 
systems   When  one  of  these  two 
systems  is  operating,  this 
warning lamp comes on.   When  a  malfunction  of  the 
systems occurs, this warning 
lamp comes on. 
 The  ASR/ESP  systems  offer 
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should not 
encourage  the  driver  to  take 
extra risks or drive at high speed.  
 Correct  operation  of  these  systems  
depends  on  observation  of  the  manu-
facturer's  recommendations  regard-
ing  the  wheels  (tyres  and  rims), 
the  braking  components  and  the 
electronic  components  as  well  as 
the  PEUGEOT  dealer  repair  proce-
dures.  
 After an impact, have these systems  
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.  
 Activation  of  the  ESP  system  is  also 
accompanied by an audible signal.    Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have 
the systems checked.
