The normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD)increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery road surfaces. Note:when replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Lighting of this warninglamp, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Braking fault" on
the multifunction display, indicates amalfunction of the electronic brakeforce distribution which could resultin loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Applying When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle. Releasing Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarn-
ing light, accompanied by anaudible signal (at 10 km/h)
and the message "handbrake on"on
the multifunction display, indicates thatthe handbrake is still applied or has
not been released fully.
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.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion. If there is a variation betweenthe trajectory followed by the vehicle
and that required by the driver, the
ESP system automatically acts onthe engine and the brake of one ormore wheels, in order to put thevehicle back on course.Disarming the ASR/ESPsystems 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 canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect onthe engine operation.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 automatically above 50 km/h,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.Operating checkWhen a malfunction of the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on, accompaniedby an audible signal and the
message "ESP/ASR system not ope-
rational" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly and ope-ration procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

FRONT 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 air bag isdisarmed.Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer and the message "Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throu-ghout the disarming process.
* According to destination.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as the child seat is remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bagand thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu- mination of this warning light accom-panied by an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air bag
disarmed" on the multifunction dis-
play, indicates that the passenger airbag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisionswhich could cause injury to thechest, the abdomen or the head.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on theinstrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds, or
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION121
Refitting the wheel
Ð After positioning the wheel, lightly pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Compress the jack and release it.
Ð Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Replace the trim except in the case of a space-saver spare wheel, starting at the valve passage hole, and press it on using the palm of the hand.
Note: If the vehicle is fitted in production with a wheel anti-theft lock, the trim cap on the anti-theft bolt is in two parts.
Replacing the wheel in the carrier
Ð Replace the jack storage box in the wheel.
Ð Replace the support spacer 3by clipping it to the space-saving spare wheel.
Ð Replace the wheel in the carrier directing the spacer 3along the centre line of
the vehicle, with the opening towards the front as shown in the diagram above (for a space-saving spare wheel only).
Ð Lift the wheel then the carrier and reposition the hook.
Ð Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.
Ð Stow the wheelbrace.
For your safety, always change a wheel:
Ð on level, stable and non slippery ground,
Ð with the handbrake applied,
Ð wiith first or reverse gear engaged,
Ð with the vehicle chocked using the jack storage box,
Ð never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an axle stand).
After changing the wheel
Ð Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare tyre checked as soon as possi-
ble by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Ð Have the punctured tyre repaired and replace it on thevehicle as soon as possible.
Ð The space-saver spare wheel fitted with a 115/70R15 tyremust only be used temporarily:
Ð inflation pressure: 4.2 bars(60 p.s.i.),
Ð maximum speed: 80 km/h.
