BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS 
 
Group of supplementary systems 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).  
 
 
Anti-lock braking system and 
electronic brake force distribution 
  Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor 
or slippery surfaces. 
   
When braking in an emergency, 
press very fi rmly without releasing 
the pressure.     
When replacing wheels (tyres and 
rims), ensure that they conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations.  
 
   
Operating fault 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
multifunction screen, it indicates a malfunction of the anti-lock braking 
system which could result in loss of 
control of the vehicle when braking.   If this warning lamp comes on, 
together with the  STOP 
 and 
  ABS 
 warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a 
message in the multifunction screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the electronic 
brake force distribution which could re-
sult in loss of control of the vehicle when 
braking. 
   
You must stop as soon as it is safe 
to do so. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Emergency braking assistance 
 
System which, in an emergency, enables 
you to obtain the optimum braking 
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the 
stopping distance. 
   
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.  
   
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 
in braking effi ciency.    In either case, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
  When braking in an emergency, 
press fi rmly without releasing the 
pressure.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE 
CALL 
  This system allows you to make an 
emergency or assistance call to the 
emergency services or to the dedicated 
PEUGEOT service. 
  For more information on the use of this 
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.

SAFETY
  The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving, 
but this should not encourage the 
driver to take extra risks or drive at 
high speed. 
  The correct functioning of these 
systems depends on observation 
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on: 
   
 
-   wheels (tyres and rims), 
   
-  braking components, 
   
-  electronic components, 
   
-   repair and assembly procedures.  
  After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
     
 
Deactivation 
  In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in 
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP 
systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip. 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button, located 
in the middle of the dashboard.  
   
If this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the indicator 
lamp in the button come on, this indi-
cates that the ASR and ESP systems 
are deactivated. 
  On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp 
engine, this action also deactivates the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.  
 
 
Reactivation 
  These systems are reactivated automati-
cally each time the ignition is switched 
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (except 
in the case of the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp petrol 
engine). 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button again 
to reactivate them manually.     
Operating fault 
   
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, this indicates a mal-
function of these systems. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TRAJECTORY CONTROL 
SYSTEMS 
   
Activation 
  These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
  They come into operation in the event 
of a grip or trajectory problem. 
   
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and 
electronic stability programme 
(ESP) 
  This is indicated by fl ashing  of 
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.  
     
The anti-slip regulation (also known as 
Traction Control) optimises traction to 
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels 
and on the engine. 
  The electronic stability programme acts 
on the brake of one or more wheels and 
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 
trajectory required by the driver, within 
the limits of the laws of physics.    On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 
200 hp engine, this action also reacti-
vates the automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps.
