ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
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 pres-
sure.
Note:
when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
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 re-
sistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking eficiency.
This indicates that the ABS
is faulty.
It comes on on the instru-
ment panel screen also.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

ing speed which is displayed:
CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control function allows you
to choose and maintain a constant
vehicle speed, called the "cruising
speed", irrespective of the proile of
the road and without any action on
the part of the driver on the accelera-
tor pedal or the brake pedal.
The "cruising speed" is chosen by
the driver and must comply with the
highway regulations in use at local
and national level.
The cruise control function must not
be used on slippery roads or in heavy
trafic.

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-
tor to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless the pedal is
pressed irmly (passing the
point of
resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the programmed speed
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
If a mat is used which is not
recommended by PEUGEOT,
there is a risk that it may slide
under the accelerator pedal
and prevent pressing of the pedal
past the point of resistance.
In this case, it will only be possible to
exit from the speed limiter function by
operating the steering wheel stalk.
Operating check
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the memorised speed is erased, the
dashes lash for a few seconds:
Note: the speed also lashes when
the speed limiter cannot prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed (on a steep descent
or in the event of sharp accelera-
tion).
To re-activate the limiter, release the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed. A warning light comes on, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears on the multifunction display.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
This system is linked and comple-
mentary to the ABS system.
In the event of a signiicant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel
and acts automatically on the engine
and on the brake of one or more
wheels, to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limit of the laws of
physics.
ESP operation
The indicator light
lashes.
The indicator light
comes on. Disarming the ESP
In exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when it is stuck in the
mud, immobilised in snow, on unsta-
ble ground...), it may be advisable to
disarm the ESP.
F
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch lights up and the warning
light comes on: the ESP no longer
acts on the operation of the engine.

F manually by pressing the switch
again. Operating fault
When a malfunction of the system
occurs, the warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.

The ESP offers exceptional
safety during normal driving,
but this should not encour-
age the driver to take extra
risks (late braking) or drive at high
speed.
Correct operation of the system de-
pends on compliance with the manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the brak-
ing components, the electronic com-
ponents and the PEUGEOT assembly
and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and
the vehicle's road holding capabili-
ties. The suspension favours smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfort-
able ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving,
tight bends, avoidance action, etc.)
it automatically selects irmer shock
absorption, guaranteeing optimum
road holding.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
cyclist, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) be-
hind the vehicle. Nevertheless, it
cannot detect obstacles located just
below the bumper.
Warning:
an object, such as a stake,
a roadworks cone or any other simi-
lar object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
To make manoeuvres in reverse gear
easier, adjust your mirrors in accord-
ance with the "Automatic tilting of the
mirrors in reverse gear" function.
Maintenance: ensure that the sen-
sors are not covered with mud, frost
or snow.
Deactivation
If there is an operating fault,
on changing to reverse gear
a warning light on the instru-
ment panel, an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display indicate that there is a sys-
tem malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle's rear speakers emit an
audible signal:
- on the right if an obstacle is
detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ive centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.Switching the system off
F Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive. F
Press the switch on the
centre console.
The indicator light on the switch
comes on and the system becomes
completely inactive.
