TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL(ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS system.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If thereis a variation between the trajectoryfollowed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP sys-tem automatically acts on the engineand the brake of one or morewheels,in order to put the vehicle back oncourse.

ESP systems

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 withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags operate only when the ignition is switched on. Note:the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGSThese 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 incases where the air bag is disarmed. Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes on, accompanied by abuzzer and the message"Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display , con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have thesystem checked.
