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 guaran-
teed on condition that the manufactu-
rer'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

SEAT BELTS
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) fas-
tened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph
(20 km/h) , you are warned by fl ash-
ing of the seat belt warning light , an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).
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 pro-
tection. 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 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 fl ashing warning
light remains on permanently 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.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement 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 air bags are deployed instantane-
ously and protect the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the air bags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visi-
bility of the occupants or their pos-
sible exit from the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
suffi cient to provide maximum pro-
tection in these situations.
Front air bags
The front air bags 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 folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger.

The air bags 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 air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more air bags 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. Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front air bag is disarmed, 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 air bag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.

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.
Disarming the front passenger's front air bag *

To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear- facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to
infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off, in-
sert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch, turn it to the

"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position. Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.
* According to country. When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on
the instrument panel for the
duration of disarming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact. The steering column air bag protects
the driver's knees in the event of a
serious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.
Steering column air bag
Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.
