and lighting of the corresponding di-
rection indicator on the instrument
panel for a few seconds. If the parking lights are activated
when your vehicle switches to
economy mode, they will remain
on. However, you cannot acti-
vate the parking lights if your vehicle is
already in economy mode.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) incorporates the following sys-
tems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the braking system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance system,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Traction control (ASR)
The ASR system optimises traction in
order to avoid wheel slip by acting on
the brakes of the driving wheels and
on the engine. It also improves the
directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
If there is a difference between the
path followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the DSC moni-
tors each wheel and automatically acts
on the brake of one or more wheels
and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of
the laws of physics.
Operating modes
Definitions
Emergency braking assistance
system
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed
at which the brake pedal is pressed.
This is felt by a reduction in the resis-
tance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking. When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
When this warning light
comes on, connected to
the STOP and ABS warn-
ing lights, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) and braking
system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The braking system provides integral
management of the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and braking system (EBFD)

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs, the
warning light comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The DSC offers improved
safety during normal driving
but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks (late
braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaranteed
on condition that the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Warning light on the instru-
ment panel.
The indicator light comes on.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in mud, immo-
bilised in snow, on unstable ground…),
it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC.

 Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch light and the indicator light
come on: the DSC no longer acts on
the operation of the engine.
Indicator light on the instrument
panel.
Reactivation

 Automatic when the ignition is
switched off,

 Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h),

 Manual by pressing the switch
again.

Front side air bags
The side air bags protect the driver
and passengers in the event of a se-
rious side impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated into
the front seat back.
Activation
The side air bags are deployed inde-
pendently of each other in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-
treline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.
The side air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.
In the event of a malfunction
If this warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact. Instrument panel warning
light.
* According to country.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The curtain air bags protect the driver
and passengers in the event of a se-
rious side impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper part
of the passenger compartment. Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding side air bags in the
event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone
B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-
treline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.
The curtain air bag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant of the ve-
hicle and the windows.
In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the
vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the air bag may not be
deployed.
In the event of a front or rear collision,
the air bag is not deployed.
