ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and mano-
evrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the re-
sistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking eficiency.
When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message,
it indicates that there is a
malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP
and ABS warning lights, ac-
companied by a buzzer and
a message, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very irmly without releasing the
pressure.

TRACTION 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 act-
ing 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.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.
F
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the central section of the
fascia. Operating check
The ESP/ASR 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 recommenda-
tions regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The switch lights up and
the warning light comes on:
the ASR and ESP systems
are disarmed.
These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
F automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
F manually by pressing the switch
again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
light lashes and the warning
light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.
The warning light lashes
if the ASR or ESP is acti-
vated.

SEAT BELTS
Front and 2nd row rear side
seat belts
The front seats are itted with pre-
tensioners and force limiters while
the rear seats have force limiters
only.
Seat belt not fastened warning light
To adjust the height in the front:
F To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.
F To raise the attachment point,
slide control 1 upwards. To lock:
F
pull the strap, then insert the
buckle into the stalk.
Routing the 2nd row rear side
seat belt:
F for children or people of a short
stature, pass the seat belt under
the strap guide 2,
F for other passengers, pass the
seat belt over the strap guide.
This strap guide prevents the seat
belt from passing over the neck of
these passengers.
This comes on each time
the ignition is switched on.
The warning light remains
on if the driver has not fas-
tened his seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
and for two minutes, the warning light
lashes accompanied by an audible
signal of increasing volume. Once
these two minutes have elapsed,
the warning light remains on until the
driver fastens his seat belt.

- On the left-hand side: in the 3-seat coniguration in the 2nd row, use
the strap guide for people of a short
stature only.
- On the right-hand side: in the re- aligned side seats coniguration,
do not use the strap guide.
Pre-tensioning and force-limiting
seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduction
of pre-tensioning and force-limiting
seat belts. Depending on the serious-
ness of the impact, the pre-tensioning
system instantly tightens the seat belts
irmly against the body of the occu-
pant.
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.
2nd row rear centre seat belt
The 2nd row rear centre seat has
a three-point inertia reel seat belt
incorporated in the centre of the
roof.
Pass buckle A, then buckle B, into
the strap guide working from the
inside to the outside of the seat.
Insert buckle A into its stalk (right),
then buckle B into its stalk (left).
To remove the seat belt, proceed in
the reverse order, then move buckle
B to the magnet of the roof ixing
point.
3rd row rear seat belts
The 3rd row rear seats are itted
with two three-point inertia reel seat
belts.
To put on the seat belt, insert buckle
C then buckle D into their respective
stalks.
To remove the seat belt, proceed in
the reverse order, then move buckle
D to the location E provided.

Wherever you are seated
in the vehicle, always fas-
ten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.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 pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre ifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts , the
pre-tensioning device may be trig-
gered 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 nec-
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
* According to model.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulil 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 modiied.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

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 thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags delate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants 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 suficient 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.
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.
Disarming the passenger air
bag*
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag 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 air bag were
to inlate.
F With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
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.

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 switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.SIDE AIR BAGS* AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS*
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
If the passenger air bag dis-
arming warning light lashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
In the event of permanent lighting of
the two air bag warning lights, do not
install a rear facing child seat. Con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer. With the ignition on, this is
conirmed by illumination of
this warning light which in-
dicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (switch
in the
"OFF" position).
The warning light is lit throughout the
duration of disarming. If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multi-function dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
