SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. The two warning lamps comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately in the instrument panel
screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.



Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. If these two warning lamps come on,
linked with the warnings on the instrument
panel screen, they indicate a malfunction
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.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces. The warning lamp 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
When the vehicle is stationary

When the vehicle is moving
If this warning lamp 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.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle 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.

SAFETY
The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking components,

- electronic components,

- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.


)
Press the "ASC OFF"
button, locat-
ed to the left of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel screen.
The display of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel
screen indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).


)
Press the "ASC OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.
Switching off of the symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel
screen indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.

Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument panel
screen indicates a malfunc-
tion of these systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have
the ASC/TCL systems checked.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).

Traction control and automatic
stability control
Traction control optimises traction to
prevent wheel spin, by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine.
Automatic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the tra-
jectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing
of this symbol on the instrument panel
screen.



Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:


- traction control (TCL),

- automatic stability control (ASC).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

After changing a wheel
When using the "space-saver"
spare wheel, do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the pressure of the spare
wheel checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel re-
paired and replace it on the ve-
hicle as soon as possible.


Fitting a wheel

List of operations

)
Lower the vehicle fully.

)
Fold the jack 2
and detach it.
)
Tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1
fi tted with the security
socket 5
(if your vehicle is equipped
with security wheel bolts).

)
Tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

)
Store the tools (refer to the para-
graph "Access to the tools").


Fitting snow tyres
If you equip your vehicle with
snow tyres fi tted on steel wheel
rims, special bolts available
from your PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop must
be
used.


)
Put the wheel in place on the hub.

)
Screw in the bolts fully by hand.

)
Pre-tighten the security bolt us-
ing the wheelbrace 1
fi tted with the
security socket 5 (if your vehicle is
equipped with security wheel bolts).

)
Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
