Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp signals that there is a fault with
the ABS.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system optimises traction in order to
avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle
on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
This system allows control of the vehicle to be
retained when towing a trailer, so as to avoid
the risk of snaking.The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Illumination of this warning lamp,
linked with the STOP and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal, signals that there is a
fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Call on a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory.
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, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system when grip conditions
allow.

Safety

165
Operating limits
The Lane Positioning Assist system may
emit an alert when the vehicle is travelling
in a long straight lane on a smooth road
sur face even if the driver is holding the
steering wheel properly.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
-

P
oor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
snowfall, rain, fog).
-

D
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming vehicle,
low sun, reflections on a wet road sur face,
leaving a tunnel, alternating light and
shade).
-

W
indscreen area in front of the camera
being dirty, misted up, frost-covered, snow-
covered, damaged or masked by a sticker.
-
L

ane markings damaged, partially hidden
(snow, mud) or multiple (roadworks,
pavement seams).
-

T
ravelling in a tight bend.
-
W

inding roads.
Active Safety Brake
with Distance Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance
This system allows:
- t he driver to be warned that their vehicle is
at risk of collision with the vehicle in front, a
pedestrian or, depending on the version, a
cyclist,
-

a c
ollision to be prevented, or its severity to
be limited, by reducing the vehicle’s speed.
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5
m and objects on the road are
not necessarily detected.
The system must not be activated in the
following situations:
-

W

hen driving on a small-diameter
spare wheel.
-

W

hen towing, especially with an
unconnected or unapproved trailer.
-
Un

favourable climatic conditions.
-

D

riving on slippery road sur faces (risk
of aquaplaning, snow, ice).
-

D

riving on racing circuits.
-

D

riving on a rolling road.
Recommendations on care
- Regularly check that the front bumper and
the area of the windscreen located in front
of the camera are clean.
-

R
egularly check that the windscreen wipers
are in good condition.
-

I
n bad weather, or during the winter, ensure
that the front bumper and windscreen are
not covered with mud, ice or snow.
