Roadholding
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) comprising the following systems:
- a nti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance,
-
w

heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The 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 in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This system (also known as Traction Control)
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, 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.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that these are approved
for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.

there is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
The operation of the dynamic grip or
trajectory control system is signalled
by flashing of the warning lamp in the
instrument panel, every time they are
brought into play.

Advice
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 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
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT 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
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. The seat belt
is stowed 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 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.

Deactivation
When the ignition is on, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel while the airbag is deactivated.
To assure your child's safety, you
must deactivate the passenger's front
airbag when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition on , 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.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the
system checked. The airbags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.
