If you purchased your vehicle outside the
Brand network, we invite you to have the
configuration of these ser vices checked
and, if desired, have a dealer change it to
suit your wishes. In a multilingual country,
configuration is possible in the official
national language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of PEUGEOT
CONNECT ser vices to customers, the
manufacturer reser ves the right to carry
out updates to the vehicle's on-board
telematic system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

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

ynamic stability control (DSC). 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)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) 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, the DSC 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.
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
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
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.

Advice
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 have an automatic locking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
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 show any signs 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.
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 the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic 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.

Airbags
Impact detection zones
A.Frontal impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.
General points
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre rear passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger belt).
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 (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger); 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 ensuring your
protection in these situations. The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Safety

86
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, you
must contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the
airbag is not deployed.
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a severe side impact applied to all or
part of side impact zone B
, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip
and shoulder of the front occupant and the
corresponding door trim panel.

"ISOFIX" mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulations.
The seats, shown below, are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
There are three rings for each seat: This arrangement reduces forward tipping of
the child seat in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches
which are secured on the two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap which is
attached to ring B . F
