SAFETY When this warning lamp
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 lamps come on
simultaneously, it
indicates that there
is a malfunction of
the braking system or that the parking
brake has not been released fully, which
can cause a loss of control 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 sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing 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 tra-
jectory 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 lamp comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warning
lamp 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 manu-
facturer's recommendations regard-
ing the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components and the elec-
tronic components as well as the
PEUGEOT dealer repair 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.
