The ESPsystem offers
increased safety during
normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to take
risks or to drive at high speed.
The operation of the system is
assured to the extent to which the
recommendations of the manufac
turer regarding the wheels (tyres
and wheel rims), the braking com
ponents, the electronic compo
nents and the assembly and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are respected.
After an accident or impact, have
the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com
plement 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
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys
tems is operating, this light
flashes. Handbrake
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.
W
arning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave
ment and apply the handbrake.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Disarming the ESP / ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR system to make the wheels
spin and regain grip. 
Press the switch "ESP OFF", sit
uated to the left of the steering
wheel.
The switch lights up and the indicator
lights come on, accompanied by the
message '' ASR/ESP deactivated''
on the multifunction display: the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
affect the operation of the engine or
the brakes.

occurs, the switch light

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions; 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 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
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.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message
"Air bag fault" on the multi
function display , contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys
tem checked.

For a vehicle not fitted with a pas
senger air bag disarming switch: do not install a rearfacing child seat on
the front passenger

Never place your feet or any object
on the fascia.
