When a malfunction of the system oc-
curs, the warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ABS increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure 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 the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
crease in braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.

recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
This indicates that the ABS is
faulty.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

ment panel screen.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
