ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD) 
 
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force 
distribution) systems improve the stability 
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on 
braking, in particular on poor or slippery 
surfaces. 
  The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, 
the EBFD provides control of the braking 
pressure wheel by wheel. 
Good practice 
  The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking 
distance. 
  On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...) 
the ABS may increase the braking distance. 
When braking in an emergency, do not 
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly, 
without releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able to 
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid 
an obstacle. 
  Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by 
slight vibration of the brake pedal. 
  When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 
ensure that these are recommended by 
PEUGEOT.   If this warning lamp comes on, 
together with the brake and STOP 
warning lamps, accompanied by 
an audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution which 
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle 
on braking. 
   
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.  
 
EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
  In an emergency, this system enables the 
optimum braking pressure to be reached more 
quickly, press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it. 
  It is triggered by the speed at which the brake 
pedal is activated. 
  This alters the resistance of the brake pedal under 
your foot.    If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the screen, it 
indicates a malfunction of the ABS 
which could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking.   In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.  
  To prolong the operation of the emergency 
braking assistance system: keep your foot 
on the brake pedal.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND DYNAMIC STABILITY 
CONTROL (DSC)
  These systems are linked and complement 
the ABS. 
  The ASR system is very useful for 
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding 
losses of control of the vehicle on 
acceleration. 
  The system optimises drive to prevent the 
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of 
the drive 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 trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required by 
the driver, the DSC system automatically 
acts on the engine and the brake of one 
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle 
back on course. Deactivating the ASR/DSC systems 
  In certain exceptional conditions (starting 
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or 
on loose ground...), it could prove useful 
to deactivate the ASR and DSC systems to 
make the wheels spin and regain grip. 
   
 
-   Press the button, located on the centre 
console. 
   
-   The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR 
and DSC systems no longer operate.     
Operating check 
 
 
Good practice
 
The ASR/DSC systems offer increased 
safety during normal driving, but should not 
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive 
at high speed. 
  The operation of these systems is assured 
only if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and fitting and repair 
procedures are observed. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
Operation of the ASR and DSC systems
 
The LED flashes when 
the ASR or DSC is 
triggered.  
   
They engage again: 
   
 
-   automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h), 
   
-   manually by pressing the button again.  
   When a malfunction of the 
systems occurs, the warning lamp 
comes on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in 
the screen. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked. 
  The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure 
of each tyre.  
 
  Use the DSC to hold your course without 
attempting to countersteer.

Installation of radiocommunication 
transmitters  
  Before installing accessory 
radiocommunication transmitters with an 
external aerial on your vehicle, you are 
advised to contact a representative of the 
PEUGEOT marque. 
  The PEUGEOT Network will inform 
you of the specifications (frequency 
band, maximum output power, aerial 
position, specific installation conditions) 
of the transmitters which can be fitted, 
in accordance with the Motor Vehicle 
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 
(2004/104/CE).     
This range is also available, structured 
around comfort, leisure and maintenance:   Trims (except for 163 hp engine), front mud 
flaps, rear mud flaps, spoilers, sill, ... 
  Audio equipment, hands-free kit, speakers, CD 
changer, navigation, ... 
  Regardless of the audio and telematic equipment 
offered on the market, the technical constraints 
linked with the fi tting of equipment of these families 
of products mean that the special features of the 
equipment and its compatibility with the capacities 
of your vehicle's standard equipment must be 
taken into account. Please contact a dealer for 
information before fi tting such equipment. 
 
Front seat covers compatible with air bags, 
benches, rubber mats, carpet mats, boot 
tray, roof bars, side blinds, snow chains. 
  To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedals: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat and its fixings are 
positioned correctly, 
   
-   never fit one mat on top of another.    Screenwash, replacement fuses, wiper
