Driving safely
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to steer the vehicle to avoid an
obstacle.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels, the
EBFD provides full control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on
braking.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake warning
lamp, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control
of the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached more
quickly, press the pedal firmly without releasing it.
Stop immediately.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot on
the brake pedal.
