ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
v r a b i l i t y o f y o u r v e h i c l e o n b r a k i n g ,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which can cause
a l o s s o f c o n t r o l o f t h e v e h i c l e w h e n
braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message, it indicates
that there is a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of
t h e v e h i c l e w h e n b r a k i n g . Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus redu-
cing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
t h e b r a k e p e d a l i s a c t i v a t e d .
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e
pressure.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
v i b r a t i o n s o f t h e b r a k e p e d a l .
In emergency braking,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t
releasing the pressure.
