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 tra-jectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the en-gine 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.
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, 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 systemsThe switch lights up and the warning light comes on: the ASR and ESP systems are disarmed.
Reactivation

To adjust the height in the front:
 To lower the attachment point, squeeze control 1 and slide it downwards.
 To raise the attachment point, slide control 1 upwards.
Fastening the seat belts
 Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk.
 Check that the seat belt is faste-ned by pulling the strap.
Unfastening the seat belts
When the ignition is switched on, the warning light comes on if the driver has not fastened his seat belt.
With the engine running and the doors closed, the light switches off automatically after 30 seconds.
 for children or people of a short stature, pass the seat belt under the strap guide 2,
 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.
SEAT BELTS
Front and 2nd row rear side seat belts
The front seats are fitted with pre-ten-sioners and force limiters while the rear seats have force limiters only.
Seat belt unfastened/not fastened warning light
Press the red button on the stalk then remove the buckle.
If the seat belt is unfastened:
- below 12 mph (20 km/h), the light comes on constantly,- above 12 mph (20 km/h) and for two minutes, the warning light flashes 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.
Routing the 2nd row rear side seat belt:

90
- On the left-hand side: in the 3-seat configuration 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 configuration, 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 introduc-tion of pre-tensioning and force-lim-iting 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.
The 2nd row rear centre seat has a three-point inertia reel seat belt in-corporated in the centre of the roof.
Pass buckle A, then buckle B, into the strap guide working from the in-side 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 buck-le B to the magnet of the roof fixing point.
The 3rd row rear seats are fitted 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 fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
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 be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,- must not be transformed or modified to avoid altering its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, all repairs and checks must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer who guarantees that the work is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-ticularly 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 rolled up correctly.
* According to model.
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.
The seat belts are fitted with an in-ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-ment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stored automat-ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is rolled up 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 fitted with an au-tomatic locking device which comes into operation in the event of a colli-sion or emergency braking. You can release the device by pulling rapidly on the strap and releasing it.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the pas-senger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one metre fifty,- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.- never use the same seat belt to se-cure 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.
In all cases, the air bag warning light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if neces-sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

92
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 ana-lyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle: if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bags inflate instantly and protect the occupants of the ve-hicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate 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 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 ig-nition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air bags can be a minor irritant.
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.
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 inflate.
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 buzz-er and a message on the multifunction display,con-tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
