SAFETY When this warning light
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
When these warn-
ing lights come on
s i m u l t a n e o u s l y,
it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
handbrake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Normal operation of the
ABS may make itself felt by
slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.

In emergency braking,
press very fi rmly without
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
supplement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by acting
on the brakes of the driving 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 ESP
system automatically acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning light comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warn-
ing light comes on.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety during nor-
mal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer’s recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
