If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal,
it indicates an electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD) system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and traction control (TRC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started. Activation of these systems
is signalled by flashing of this
indicator in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
for the DSC system.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
i s bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, …), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC and TRC systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is recommended that the systems are
reactivated as soon as possible however.

These warning lamps come on: the
TRC and DSC systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine.
Reactivation
The TRC and DSC systems reactivate
automatically each time the engine is started.

P
ress the button again to
reactivate them manually.
When only the TRC system has been
deactivated, it reactivates as soon as the speed
of the vehicle increases.
If the TRC and DSC systems have both
been deactivated, they do not reactivate by
themselves, even if the speed of the vehicle
increases.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal,
this indicates a fault with the system.
As soon as they detect a

problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.

Safety

54
Drive carefully at a moderate speed and
c ontact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for verification of the system.
The TRC and DSC systems offer
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 systems
depends on observing the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), braking system components,
electronic components as well as
assembly and repair procedures used by
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with
a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fitted with a three-point
sea t belt.

Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a
leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
e ffectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
ETG gearbox
The ETG gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10
kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
