ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking eficiency.In
the event of emergency braking,
depending on the force of the
deceleration, the hazard warning
lights are switched on automatically.
They are switched off automatically
on acceleration.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault" , it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. When this warning light
comes on, connected to the STOP and
ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message 'Braking
fault' , it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the electronic brake
force distribution, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, 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 irmly without releasing the
pressure.

Operating checkTRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive
to prevent the wheels skidding, by
acting on the brakes of the drive
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
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.The warning light lashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated. The switch lights up and
the warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message
on the multifunction display:
the ASR and ESP systems are
disarmed.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F
Press the «ESP OFF» switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the right.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The ASR/ESP 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 functioning of
these systems depends on
observation of the manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding
wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the
electronic components and
the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

YOUR 206 CC IN DETAILFRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger
air bag is disarmed.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions.
They work in conjunction with the
force-limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags delate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in
the case of collisions which are
not serious, for which the seat belt
is suficient to ensure maximum
protection. The seriousness of a
collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle
at the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the
message
"Air bag fault"
on the multifunction display, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
Front air bag fault Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
killed or seriously injured if the air
bag were to inlate.
F
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the slot
in this position.
The air bag warning light
on the instrument panel is
lit throughout the disarming
process.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.
Disarming check
This is conirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by a message on
the multifunction display.SIDE AIRBAGS *
These are incorporated into the
frame of the front seat back, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently
of each other depending on which
side the collision occurs, in collisions
which could cause injury to the chest,
the abdomen or the head.
This is conirmed by an indicator light
on the instrument panel.
It comes on for six seconds, each
time the ignition is switched on.
If the indicator light:
- does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
- does not go out after six seconds, or
- lashes for ive minutes then stays on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by a message on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position).
If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously,
do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Operating check
