the tRC and DSC systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
th

e correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the assembly and
repair procedures used by P
e

uge
Ot

dealers.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
DSC and
t
R
C systems, so that the wheels can
spin freely and regain grip.
Operating fault
However, it is recommended that theses
systems be reactivated as soon as possible.
F

operation of the engine.
Reactivation

reactivated automatically every time the engine
is started.

reactivate it manually. Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,

deactivated, they do not reactivate themselves
even if the speed of the vehicle increases.

Unwanted triggering of the system
It is possible for the system to detect a risk of
imminent collision and start working, in the
following conditions in particular:
-
d
etection of an object located close to the
outer edge of a bend (safety barrier, lamp
post or road sign),
-

d
etection of an object located at the top or
bottom of a steep slope,
-

d
etection of reflective objects (central
reservation...) in the road,
-

d
etection of the upper bar of a bridge or a
traffic light gantry,
-

d
etection of a vehicle on a bend travelling
in the other direction,
-

d
etection of a vehicle traveling in the other
direction, at a crossroads, when your
vehicle is turning left or right,
-

i
f the vehicle ahead of you sends up water
or snow,
-

i
f your vehicle stops very close to a wall or
other vehicles,
-

w
hen your vehicle closes rapidly on the
vehicle ahead,
-

i
f the vehicle is raised or lowered,
-
i

f the vehicle passes through a plastic curtain,
-

i
f driving through mist or smoke,
-

i
f the sensor is misaligned (following
replacement after a collision).
Never leave accumulations of snow or
any object projecting above the bonnet
or in front of the roof: this might fall into
the field of vision of the sensor and
generate a detection.
Operating limits
the system only detects vehicles
(cars, lorries)
that are stationary or moving in the same
direction as your vehicle. In difficult weather conditions (very
heavy rain, snow, fog, hail...), braking
distances increase, which can reduce
the ability of the system to avoid a
collision.
the

driver must therefore remain
particularly vigilant.
th

e system is not triggered or is interrupted if
the driver:
-

a
ccelerates strongly (even if the speed
limiter is on),
-

o
r turns the steering wheel suddenly
(avoiding manoeuvre).
Detection capability is less effective if:
-

y
ou are driving on roads with pronounced
bends and/or on roads in poor condition,
-

y
our vehicle is excessively loaded, as
this changes the horizontal attitude of the
vehicle. It does not detect small vehicles
(bicycles, motorcycles), pedestrians or
animals, nor non-reflective stationary
objects.

to a
ssure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

front airbag
When you remove a rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the
"ON" position to reactivate the airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
Front airbags
Deployment
the airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or part of the
front impact zone A , in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
th

e front airbag inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their forward
movement. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
th
e driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on in the seat

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a P

en if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.

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
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
Lateral airbags

could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
