Operating checkTRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive
to prevent the wheels skidding, by
acting on the brakes of the drive
wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of
the vehicle to be improved on
acceleration.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated. The switch lights up and
the warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message
on the multifunction display :
the ASR and ESP systems are
disarmed.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.

Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel
to the left.
These are triggered again:
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light flashes and the warning
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The ASR/ESP systems
offer exceptional safety
in normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of
these systems depends on
observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding
wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components and the
electronic components and
the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After an impact, have these
systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions; they
work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision,
the electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags deflate rapidly, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message on
the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
Front air bag malfunction Disarming the passenger
air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child would risk
being killed or seriously injured if the
air bag were to inflate.

With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the slot
in this position.
The air bag warning light
on the instrument panel is
lit throughout the period of
disarming.
* According to country.

84 -Safety
01-01-2006
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.SIDE AIRBAGS *
These are incorporated into the
frame of the front seat back, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently
of each other depending on which
side the collision occurs, in collisions
which could cause injury to the chest,
the abdomen or the head.
This is confirmed by an indicator light
on the instrument panel.
It comes on for six seconds, each
time the ignition is switched on.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by a message on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position).
If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously,
do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
* According to destination.
If the indicator light:
- does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or
- does not go out after six seconds, or
- flashes for five minutes then stays on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by a message on

For the front and side*
air bags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags
(child, animal, object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
• All work on the air bag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is
carried out by qualified personnel
of the PEUGEOT network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag systems
checked. Front air bags
• Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting
your hands on the centre part of
the wheel.
• Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
• Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can
cause burns or the risk of injury
from a cigarette or pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently. Side air bags*
• Only put approved covers on
the front seats. Contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.
• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could
cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door
than necessary.

SEAT BELTS
To lock the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the buckle
into the stalk.Pre-tensioning and force-limiting
front seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal
impact has been improved by
the introduction of pre-tensioning
and force-limiting front seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts firmly
against the body of the occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
occupant's body in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fitted with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.

-Safety
01-01-2006
Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their
role fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must not be twisted,
- must not be transformed or modified. Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
Recommendations for child seats:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.
* According to model.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts
,
the pre-tensioning device may be
triggered before and independently
of the air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the
seat belts system checked, and if
necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
