BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, ena-
bles you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
function display, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
-
-
the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
theelectronicbrakeforcedistribution
(EBFD),
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking efficiency.
-
the emergency braking assistance
(EBA).
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and
ABS warning lights, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Antiꢀlock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
When braking in an emergency,
press firmly without releasing the
pressure.
!
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
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.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
i
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
