SAFETY
Driving safely
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel. 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.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). Activation
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 accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the
ABS
warning lamp, accompanied by
a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Good practice
The ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
For maximum braking efficiency,
a bedding-in period of around
300 miles (500 kilometres) is needed. During
this period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.

Emergency braking assistance *
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to reach the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance. The emergency braking assistance
is an integral part of the ESP system.
Activation
It is brought into play by the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly
without releasing the pressure.
Good practice
This system cannot be deactivated by the
driver.
* Depending on country of sale.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The electronic stability programme acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory
required by the driver, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Activation
The ESP system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started and cannot
be deactivated.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the warning lamp in the

"ASR OFF" button, accompanied
by a message in the instrument
panel screen, indicates a fault with the ESP
system, which is deactivated automatically.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine
control (MSR)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
Engine control is an integral part of the ASR
system and intervenes when a sudden gear
change is made or of one of the driving
wheels looses grip, by reducing engine
torque to avoid loss of stability of the vehicle.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem od adhesion or
trajectory, these systems come into play.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ASR OFF" button, located in
the middle of the dashboard.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompained by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.

dealer. Good practice
The ASR system offers exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of this system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components and
the assembly and repair procedures used by
PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...).
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control. Activation
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
