these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.
th
is is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
th
e DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
th
e correct operation of the system
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

dealers.
to f

ully benefit from the effectiveness of
these systems in wintry conditions, it is
essential to fit a set of four winter tyres
to the vehicle.

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the

Lateral airbags
Deployment
the lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
th
e lateral airbag inflates between the
abdomen and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel. If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which
protects the driver and front passenger in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest, between the
abdomen and head.
ea
ch lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side. 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.
ea

ch 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.
th

e curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows. In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not
be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags is deployed.If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
