"GRIP CONTROL"
ESP mode
 Place the dial in this position. Snow mode
Special patented traction control sys-
tem which improves traction on snow,
mud and sand.
This system is combined with all-sea-
son M+S (Mud and Snow: 215/60 R16)
tyres which offer an excellent compro-
mise between safety, grip and traction.
This equipment, the operation of which
has been optimised in each situation,
allows you to manoeuvre in most condi-
tions of poor grip (encountered during
touring use).
Pressing the accelerator pedal should
be suffi cient to allow the system to use
the power of the engine. The electron-
ics will ensure optimum management
of the various parameters. Phases of
operation with a high engine speed are
completely normal.
Each time the ignition is switched off,
the system returns to standard mode
(ESP).
Standard mode which is calibrated for a
low level of skidding, based on different
conditions of grip encountered on the
road.
Mode which adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered for each
of the two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
the skidding to guarantee the best ac-
celeration possible in relation to the grip
available.

Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-
pant, so increasing their protection.

125
AIRBAGS
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
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
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 triggered 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 triggered; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations. Triggering of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Front air bags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's air bag is incorporat-
ed in the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part of
the front impact zone A , in the longitu-
dinal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal plane and directed from the front
to the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.

126
If at least one of the two air
bag warning lights come on
continuously, do not install
a child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked. The
air bags may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
1 to the "ON" position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing light comes on on the seat
belt and passenger's front air
bag warning lights display for
approximately one minute, if
the passenger's front air bag
is activated.
To guarantee the safety of
your child, it is imperative that
the passenger's front air bag
is disarmed when you install a "rear
facing" child seat on the front pas-
senger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the air
bag were triggered.
According to version, this
warning light comes on either
on the instrument panel or on
the seat belt and passenger's
front air bag warning lights
display when the ignition is on and until
the air bag is re-armed. If this warning light fl ashes,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The passenger's front air bag
may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front air bag can
be disarmed:

 with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag disarming
switch 1 ,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 then, remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.

Particular situations
In certain situations (e.g. star-
ting the engine), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the braking by
means of the brake pedal or in an ex-
ceptional situation (e.g. driver taken ill,
under instruction, etc) a continuous pull
on control A will stop the vehicle.
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
To advance your vehicle a few cen-
timetres without starting the engine,
but with the ignition on, press on the

panel and the displaying of the mes-
sage "Parking brake released".
If the parking brake malfunctions

while applied or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release ia always
possible. If a failure of the ESP system
is signalled by the lighting of
this warning lamp, then brak-
ing stability is not guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be
assured by the driver by repeating alter-
nate "pull release" actions on control A .
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
