Front and rear brake
hydraulically controlled
PEUGEOT recommends that you :
- Check the level of brake fluid
- Checking the wear of the brake pads.
- Monitor operation of your FRONT and REAR
brakes.
- Have adjustment and maintenance operations
performed by a PEUGEOT dealer whenever action
proves to be necessary
- Use PEUGEOT original parts only.
The hydraulic circuit is filled with fluid in compliance with
the standard PEUGEOT.
Braking efficiency depends on :
- The fluid level in the hydraulic control,
- The circuit seal,
- The condition of the brake pads.
If the brake lever appears “loose” when activated, take
the vehicle in for a service of the system by a
PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.
- Braking and parking
Good coordination between the throttle and the FRONT and
REAR brakes is very important.
- Reduce your speed by allowing the throttle to return.
- Pull on the rear and front brakes levers
Warning
Use of a single brake reduces braking efficiency.
Excessive force applied to a single brake may cause
the corresponding wheel to lock, causing you to
lose control of the vehicle and come off.
When driving down a steep slope, drop back the
throttle and use both brakes in order to reduce your
speed, enabling you to maintain control of the
vehicle. Avoid constantly applying the brakes as
excessive heating will reduce braking efficiency and
may cause an accident.
