TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes
of the drive wheels and on the engine. It
also allows the directional stability of the
vehicle to be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically
acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Activation of the ASR and ESP systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and ESP
systems are always active.Disarming the ASR/ESP systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in mud or
snow, or on loose ground...), it could prove
useful to disarm the ASR and ESP systems
to make the wheels spin and regain grip.
Press the switch, situated under the
steering wheel on the right of the fascia.
The indicator light comes on
accompanied by a message: the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
act on the engine operation, but
continue to act on the brakes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the indicator light
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on
the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
After an impact, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
They engage again:  automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
 manually by pressing the switch again.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
The warning light flashes if the ASR
or ESP is activated.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure during
driving, and trigger a warning in the event of
a malfunction (speed greater than approx.
15 mph [25 km/h]) or puncture.
An outline representing one or more wheels
flashing indicates the location of the wheel
or wheels concerned.Flat tyre
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied by the
message "Tyre(s) deflated" , an
outline on the display, and an audible signal.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
If the damaged tyre is temporarily
stored in the boot, it will again emit this
message to remind you of the necessity of
having it repaired. This will prevent another
warning of the same type being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
The SERVICE warning light
comes on, accompanied by
the message 'X tyre pressure
sensor(s) missing' , an outline on the
display and an audible signal.
Under-inflation detection is absent from one
(or several) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when
one of the tyres is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or when a wheel
without a sensor is fitted.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
This system does not remove the need to
have the tyre pressure checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
arduous driving (heavy load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
radio broadcasts on a frequency close to it. Puncture
The STOP warning light
comes on, accompanied by
the message 'Punctured
tyre(s)' , an outline on the display and an
audible signal.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or very
deflated) tyre, and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 8.

FRONT AND REAR SIDE SEAT
BELTS
The front and row 2 rear side seats are fitted
with pretensioners and force
limiters.
To adjust the height  To lower the attachment point, squeeze
control and slide it downwards.
 To raise the attachment point, slide
control upwards.
To lock Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into
the stalk.
 Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap. The lap strap must be positioned as low as
possible on the pelvis. The chest strap must
pass over the hollow of the shoulder.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Inertia reel seat belts
These are fitted with a device which locks
the seat belt automatically in the event of an
impact or emergency braking.
Safety in the event of a frontal impact has
been improved by the introduction of pre-
tensioning and force-limiting seat belts.
Depending on the seriousness of the impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts firmly against the body of the
occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed
when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the chest
of the occupant, so increasing his protection.
A bag placed on the front passenger
seat or a pet sitting on this seat may
trigger the lighting of this warning light.
SEAT BELTS Front seat belt warning
light
If the driver and/or front passenger
has/have not fastened his/their
seat belt, this warning light comes on.
Then, at a speed in excess of approximately
15 mph (25 km/h), it flashes accompanied
by an audible signal of increasing volume
(for approximately 90 seconds) and a
message on the display.
Row 2 rear side seat belts
For your comfort, if you are not using the
seat belt, slide the seat belt loop to the
upper stop to prevent the tongue from
vibrating.
Row 3 rear side seat belts
The row 3 rear side seats are fitted with two
seat belts which are both three-point inertia
reel belts with force limiter.
To install the seat belt, move the tongue into

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the
seat belt by pulling the strap sharply and
releasing it.
The air bag warning light comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must: restrain one adult person only,
 must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,
 be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely.
If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest. Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children: 
use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one metre fifty,
 never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child seats,
refer to the "Children on board" section of
chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
Good practice
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even
for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a rear seat or bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly in its compartment and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of

Air bags
SAFETY137
5
The air bags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants (with the exception
of the centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags
inflate instantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.Immediately after the impact, the
air bags deflate rapidly, so that they do not
hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle. - in the event of a minor or rear impact and
in certain roll-over conditions, the air bags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide maximum protection in
these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the air bag will not
operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
AIR BAGS
It is imperative that the passenger air
bag is disarmed if a child seat is installed
facing rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 5.

Air bags
138Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with a front passenger
air bag, side air bags or curtain air bags,
observe this good practice.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an air bag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of
the air bags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the side air
bags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side air bag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain air bags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain air bag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain air bags.

occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his foward movement. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.
Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger air bag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the air bag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
If the two air bag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
