When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency, press
fi rmly without releasing the pressure.
Group of supplementary sys-
tems which help you to obtain
optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on, togeth-
er with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, located
on the left below the steering wheel.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator lamp in the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, this in-
dicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional 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 recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

SEAT BELTS
Driver's seat belt not
fastened/unfastened warning
lamp *
Front seat belt height adjustment
To lower the attachment point, pull the
control towards you and slide it down-
wards.
To raise the attachment point, slide the
control upwards. Fastening the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening the seat belts
Press the red button on the buckle.
Front seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter *
Safety in the event of front impacts has
been improved by the introduction of
seat belts with pre-tensioner and force
limiter for the front seats. Depending on
the seriousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts and pulls them against the
bodies of the occupants. Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fi tted with three-point
inertia reel seat belts.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure of
the seat belt against the chest of the
occupant so increasing protection.
* According to model.
The warning lamp comes on each time
the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp remains on until the
driver fastens their seat belt.
From 12 mph (20 km/h) and for two minu tes,
the warning lamp fl ashes accompanied by
an audible signal which increases in volume
and a message on the multifunction screen.
Once these two minutes have elapsed,
the warning lamp remains on until the
driver fastens their seat belt.

The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling rapidly on the strap and re-
leasing it. * According to model.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one person of adult size only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its performance.
In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and particularly
if the straps show signs of damage.
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 is reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fi fty.
Never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device * may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIRBAGS
Front airbags
Impact detection zones
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility
or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.
The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate.
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone. System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact to limit the risk of injury
to the head and chest.
The airbags are fi tted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in
the dashboard for the front passenger.
Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously in
the event of a serious front impact ap-
plied to all or part of the front impact
zone
A in the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane direct-
ed from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

Operating fault Lateral airbags Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed uni-
laterally in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the lat-
eral impact zone
B , perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from
the outside towards the inside of the ve-
hicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
occupant of the vehicle and the corre-
sponding door trim panel.

Deactivating the front
passenger's front airbag
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passenger's
airbag when you install a rear-facing
child seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger's airbag de-
activation switch, turn it to the "OFF"
position, then remove the key keeping
the switch in the new position. Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the
"ON" po-
sition to reactivate the airbag and thus
ensure its safety function.
System which protects the driver in the
event of a serious side impact in order
to limit the risk of injury to the chest.
The lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat
back frame, on the door side. When the ignition is on, this
warning lamp remains lit on the
instrument panel if the passen-
ger's airbag is deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the airbag
system checked. In the
"OFF" position, the passenger's
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.

SAFETY
64
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not place anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag system checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag
infl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the deployment of
the lateral airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nea rer to the door than necessary.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European reg- ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that
children should travel in the rear
seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated.
Intermediate longitudinal position
