the speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
observe speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Speed limiter (Puretech 82 engine)
the speed limiter is switched on manually:
this can be done whatever the speed of the
vehicle. However, if you are driving at less than
20 mph (30 km/h), the programmed speed will
be fixed at 20 mph (30 km/h).
th

e speed limiter is paused by operation of the
control.
th

e programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
to r

eturn to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle
returns to the programmed speed limit. System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.Steering mounted controls

electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (
e

BFD)
these systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th

e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th

e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
traction control (tR C)
this system optimises traction in order to limit
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, this system monitors 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.

the driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
th
e seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size.
t
h
e seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
th

e lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
th

e upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
th

e inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
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 the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
use a suitable child seat if the passenger 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.
For more information on child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b

e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b

e used to restrain only one person,
-

n

ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

n

ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
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 P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
Pe
ugeOt d
ealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
P
e

uge
Ot

dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
P
e

uge
Ot d

ealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.

Airbags
Designed to contribute towards the safety of
the occupants in the event of violent collisions.
th
e airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
th

e airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
th

e deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a slight emission
of smoke and a noise, due to the
detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system.
th

is smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
th

e detonation noise associated with
the deployment of an airbag may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
th

is equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
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.
