Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (
eB
FD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the P
e
uge
O
T
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a Pe ugeO T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating fault

accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this

Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h), except for 1.6 litre THP 155
and THP 200 petrol engines. But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
