SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure. The two warning lamps comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately on the instrument panel
screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Operating fault

nied by the indication on the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the anti-lock braking system which could
result in a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lamps come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel screen, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution

is switched on (ON position). If it
does not switch off or does not
come on, contact a PEUGEOT

function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

DRIVING
Operating anomaly Reverse gear
Flashing of the indicator
R in the instru-
ment panel screen, accompanied by an
audible signal, indicates a malfunction
on engaging the gear:
Press the brake pedal, position the gear
lever in position N and engage reverse
gear again.
With the ignition on, if this warning light
comes on, accompanied by vibration
in the pedals and the message "Main-
tenance required" on the instrument
panel display, this indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
If the message is displayed, carry out
the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position P or N ,
apply the handbrake and let the
engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or
appears frequently, contact a dealer of
the Marque without delay.
Overheating of the engine may
result in unwanted declutching of
the gearbox.
