ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporates the following systems:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the braking system (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance system,
- anti-slip regulation (ASR), also known as traction control
- dynamic stability control (DSC).
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) -
Traction control
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 lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage, it indicates that there
is an ABS fault, which could
cause a loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
When this warning lamp
comes on, connected to the

STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a mes-
sage, it indicates that there is an elec-
tronic brake force distribution fault,
which could cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.

Stop
as soon as it is safe to do so
.
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 EBFD provides complete man-
agement of the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) braking system

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

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without relea sing
the pressure.
Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs,
the warning lamp comes on accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a mes-
sage in the multifunction screen.
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 in-
structions regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the as-
sembly and repair procedures used by
PEUGEOT dealers are observed.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

SEAT BELTS
Front seat belt fastening detection
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter
In the event of a serious front impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts fi rmly against
the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of the
occupant, so increasing his pronstection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fi tted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
These seat belts have a force limiter.
To fasten the seat belts

 Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.


Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts


Press the red button on the buckle.

Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may trigger the illumina-
tion of the warning lamp.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning lamp goes off when the seat
belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action
on the seat belts, the fl ashing warning
lamp remains on fi xed and the audible
signal ceases.
All of the warnings cease when a
door is opened or when the engine is
switched off.
Front seat belt height adjustment:

 To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point, slide
control 1 upwards.
When the ignition is
switched on , if a front pas-
senger has not fastened
their seat belt and if the vehi-
cle speed is below
12
mph
(20 km/h) , you are warned by illumi-
nation of the seat belt warning lamp .
The warning lamp goes off when the
seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above
12
mph
(20 km/h) , you are warned by fl ash-
ing of the seat belt warning lamp , an
audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before set-
ting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehi-
cle, always fasten your seat belt, even
for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling fi rmly on the strap and re-
leasing it so that it re-winds slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and particularly
if the straps show signs of damage.
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 reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passen-
ger is less than 12 years old or shorter
than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detec-
tion zones:
-
in the event of a serious impact,
the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after
the impact, the airbags defl ate rap-
idly so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants or their
possible exit from the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
suffi cient to provide maximum pro-
tection in these situations.
Front airbags
The front airbags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
They are fi tted in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact oc-
curs (during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not operate. Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more airbags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less 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 some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front airbag is deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
