SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately on the instrument panel
display.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel display, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lights come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel display, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The warning light comes on for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on (ON position). If it does
not switch off or does not come on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is ac-
tive if the vehicle speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h). It is deactivated when
the vehicle speed falls below 3 mph
(5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
