SAFETY
















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.
