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.
t
he ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the
e BFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. 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.
If this warning lamp comes

which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
firmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
t
his alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
to prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.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 P
euge O t
.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fifty
,
-
never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by P
euge O t
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your P
euge O t
dealer
can guarantee all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop: they must not show any
signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be converted or
modified.t

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-
a "rearward facing" child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a
"forward facing" child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward
and, if necessary
, straighten its
backrest as well.
t
he incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly against the vehicle's seat. If the
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forward if necessary. For the optimum installation of a
"forward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close as
possible to the backrest of the vehicle's
seat, or in contact if possible.
t
he head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on the passenger seat.
e
nsure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the
child seat is removed.Children at the front
the legislation on carrying a child on
the front passenger seat is specific to
each country
. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Installing a booster seat
the chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
e
nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
euge O t
recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, never leave:
-
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
-
the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
to prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
to protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds to the rear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests of the outer and centre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove these seats in row 2, so that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch the seats in row 2.

CHECKSCarbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must
be carried out by a Peuge O t dealer .
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
t
his water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a P euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
u
nless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
An access flap allows replacement of
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
