Safety
Rain and cold
•
During rain or
fog,
keep your
distance,
slow
down
-
with
increased braking
distance
-
drive
with dipped
headlights.
•
Road holding decreases
on a
wet
road,
especially if the
depth
of the tyre
treads
is
less
than
3
mm.
•
Aquaplaning
can
occur,
depending
on the
quantity
of
water
on
the road surface, even
with
tyres
in
good
condition.
•
Clean your
windscreen
and
wiper blades
regularly.
If
marks
persist,
change the wiper
blades.
It
is recommended
that
you
change
your
wiper
blades every
year.
• If
the outside temperature
is equal to or
below 3
°C
be
particularly
careful.
•
In
winter, the use
of laminated
thermal
rubber
tyres
("contact"
tyres)
is
recom-
mended;
drive smoothly
without
sudden
acceleration or
braking.
Lighting
•
Always ensure good
visibility.
•
Always
keep
a box of spare bulbs
and
a
pocket
torch.
•
The
lights have an essential part to play
in
your safety
and that
of
others. They
must
be
in
good
condition,
properly
adjusted
and
clean.
For
this,
your vehicle is
fitted with a head-
lamp
adjustment
system.
Brakes
•
If the waming
light
comes
on
while
driving,
stop immediately and
contact
a PEUGEOT
dealer.
On
wet
roads or
after
washing,
the brakes
may respond
with
a
slight delay.
•
ABS system -
this
system increases
safety
and prevents
locking
of
the
wheels
if you
should brake hard or in conditions
of
low
grip.
It
helps you to
maintain control of
the steer-
ing.
•
Should a
temporary fault
occur,
after
switch-
ing
the ignition off and then on
again,
normal
operation is restored if:
-
the
warning
light
switches
off
after
3 seconds,
-
the warning
light
switches
off when
driving
at more than 8
m.p.h.
or
12
km/h.
