Emergency Braking Assistance; Abs, Ebfd, Csc Systems - PEUGEOT 107 Handbook

Emergency braking
assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in
the resistance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking systems (EBFD and CSC * )
The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and
CSC * braking systems, increases the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on braking
and provides improved control, in particular on
poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems provide full
control of the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
A distribution between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the
EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the
CSC * (Cornering Stability Control).
When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
* The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on
vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP
systems.
When this warning lamp comes on,
it indicates that there is a fault with
the ABS, which could cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When these warning lamps
come on simultaneously, it
indicates that there is a fault
with the braking system or that the parking
brake has not been released fully, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
