YOUR 206 IN DETAIL
112
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE
FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle, par-
ticularly on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note : when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and the message
"ABS fault", it indicates
that there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to the
STOP and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message "Braking
fault", it indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
HANDBRAKE
Locking
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.
Warning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the
pavement and pull the handbrake.
Unlocking
Pull on the handle and press the
button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP warning
light, accompanied by an audi-
ble signal (while the vehicle is
being driven) and the message "hand-
brake on" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the handbrake is still on or
has not been properly released.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres-
sure 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
increase in braking efficiency.
In the event of emergency braking,
depending on the force of the decel-
eration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on
acceleration.
