linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
Activation
the anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
In either case, contact a PeugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
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.
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
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.
