physics.

occurs, the warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.

The ESP offers exceptional
safety during normal driving,
but this should not encour-
age the driver to take extra
risks (late braking) or drive at high
speed.
Correct operation of the system de-
pends on compliance with the manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and op-
eration procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS increases the stability and
manoevrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
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 pres-
sure.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
This indicates that the ABS
is faulty.
It comes on on the instru-
ment panel screen also.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Contact 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.

SEAT BELTS
Front seat belt height adjustment:
F To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.
F To raise the attachment point,
slide control 1 upwards. Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on
,
if a front passenger has not fastened
his seat belt and if the vehicle speed
is below 13 mph (20 km/h) , you are
warned by lighting of the seat belt
warning light .
The warning light switches off when
the seat belt(s) concerned is(are)
fastened.
- If the vehicle speed is above
13 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned
by lashing of the seat belt warning
light , an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen
locating the unfastened seat belt(s).
Note: a bag or an animal placed on
the front passenger seat may trigger
the lighting of the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action
on the seat belts, the lashing warning
light remains on permanently and the
audible signal ceases. All of the warn-
ings cease when a door is opened or
when the engine is switched off.
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
In the event of a serious impact, the
pre-tensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts irmly against the
bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt on the body
of the occupant in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all itted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
limiter and may be itted with a pre-
tensioning inertia reel.
Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt buckle
into the clasp. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.
To fasten the seat belts
F Pull the strap, then insert the end
into the clasp.
To unfasten the seat belts
F Press the button on the clasp.

Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
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.
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 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 nec-
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
