BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
Activation
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 vibration of the brake
pedal. Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase

Group of supplementary sys-
tems which help you to obtain
optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on, togeth-
er with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
You
must
stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Fitting the wheel
- Once the wheel is in place, pre-tight-en it lightly using the wheelbrace.
- Fold the jack and remove it.
- Tighten the bolts using the wheel- brace.
- R e fi t t h e w h e e l t r i m s t a r t i n g a t t h e valve passage hole and press with
the palm of the hand. Putting the wheel back in place
- Put the jack storage case back in
the wheel.
- Put the wheel back in the carrier.
- Raise the wheel, then the carrier and reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to retighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt fully.
- Stow the wheelbrace. For your safety, always change a
wheel:
- on level, stable and non slip-
pery ground,
- with the parking brake applied, ignition off,
- w i t h fi r s t o r r e v e r s e g e a r e n - gaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- you must ensure that the oc- cupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location,
- never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an
axle stand).
The jack and all of the tools are
s p e c i fi c t o y o u r v e h i c l e . D o n o t
use them for other purposes.
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the
spare tyre checked as soon
as possible by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre re- paired and replace it on the
vehicle as soon as possible.
