Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
this system improves the stability and
m anoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
the A

BS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
the e

lectronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
thi

s is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
the ASR system (also known as tra ction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the ABS, which could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates

the use of snow tyres is strongly recommended
o n sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (
eBF

D), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P
eu

ge
Ot d
ealer or a
qualified workshop.
Depending on version, your vehicle has a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control
.
thi
s system detects situations of difficult
sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to
move off or make progress on deep fresh snow
or compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
