The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability and manoe-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon 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 whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.

being driven) and the message "hand-

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure 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 theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. In the event of emergency braking, depending on the force of the decel-eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel-eration.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message 'Braking
fault' , it indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake forcedistribution, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
