ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYS-
TEM (ABS) AND THE ELEC-TRONIC BRAKE FORCE DIS-TRIBUTION (EBFD)
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.
When this warning lightcomes on, accompanied bya buzzer and the message"ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of
the ABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOP warning light, accom-panied by a buzzer and themessage 'Braking fault' , it
indicates that there is a malfunctionof the electronic brake force distribu-tion, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.

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. Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a Peugeot
dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS maymake itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake system. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
MANUAL GEARBOX Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the ring under the gear lever knob andpush the gear lever to the left then tothe front. Reverse gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary withthe engine idling.
* According to engine.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SUSPENSION The suspension adapts automatical- ly and instantly to different drivingstyles and road characteristics,improving the comfort of the occu-pants and the vehicle's road holdingcapabilities. The suspension favours smooth shock absorption, ensuring a com-fortable ride, but as soon as condi-tions demand a change (sporty dri-ving, tight bends, avoidance action,etc.) it automatically selects firmershock absorption, guaranteeing opti-mum road holding.Selecting the SPORT position
 Press switch 1, the SPORT indi-
cator light will come on,accompanied by an audiblesignal. In this position, the suspen- sion is maintained in the
SPORT position.
To return to automatic opera-tion
 Press switch 1again. The indicator
light will go out and the
AUTO indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an audi-ble signal.
Operating check This is confirmed by the switch light
and the indicator lights. The switchlight comes on for approximatelythree seconds every time the ignitionis switched on. If the switch light flashes or if the indicator light comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signal and themessage ' Hydraulic suspension

Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys- tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multi-function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR system,so that the wheels can move freelyand regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under thesteering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
'ASR/ESP system de-acti-vated' on the multiÐfunction
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on theengine operation. These are triggered again :
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) These systems are linked and com-
plementary to the ABS system. In the event of a significant variation between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automaticallyon the engine and on the brake ofone or more wheels, to put the vehi-cle back on course. The traction control (ASR) system optimises drive, in order to avoid thewheels slipping, by acting on thebrakes of the drive wheels and onthe engine. It also enables the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved during acceleration. Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys-tems is in operation, thisindicator light flashes.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but this shouldnot encourage the driver totake extra risks or drive at
high 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 andoperation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

automatically. Note : it is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the cruise control. Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorisedspeed :
 Pull stalk 1towards you or press
the brake or clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorisedspeed
After cancellation, flick stalk 1 upwards or downwards. Your vehicle
will return to the last memorised speed.
Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:
 keep stalk 1pressed upwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one :  keep stalk 1pressed downwards;
 release it when you have reachedthe required speed.
Disarming the cruise control  place the ring in the OFFposition
or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic.
