These systems are activated automatically
every 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.This is indicated by this warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation/reactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

Safety

89
ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
as the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of
the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control (ESC) must not
have any faults.
If the system detects oscillations (snaking) in
the movement of the trailer at speeds between
37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), it acts
on the brakes to stabilise the trailer and, if
necessary, reduces the engine power to slow
down the vehicle.
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
To ensure complete safety while driving with
a To w b a r d e v i c e , refer to the corresponding
section.
Malfunction
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system
offers increased safety in normal
driving conditions, provided that the
recommendations on towing a trailer are
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver
to take additional risks, such as towing
a trailer in adverse operating conditions
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive at
too high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden swaying of the trailer.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.

Front and rear seat belt warning
lamp(s)
On switching on the ignition, warning lamp
1 comes on in the instrument panel and the
corresponding warning lamp (2 to 6) comes on
in red in the seat belt and front passenger airbag
warning lamps display, if the corresponding seat
belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
If a rear seat belt is not fastened, the
corresponding warning lamp ( 4 to 6) lights
up for around 30
seconds.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before driving.
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 completely fulfil their role.
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.
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.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Installation
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.
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.

Maintenance
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.
Instructions 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 child.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section. In case of impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact
, the
pyrotechnic pretensioner 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 belt
system checked, and, if necessary,
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving
passenger safety (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action of
the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except
the rear centre passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
- in 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 rear centre
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 rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.

Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
Never install a "rear ward facing" child
restraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag.
This could cause the death of the child or
serious injury.
The warning label present on both sides of the
passenger sun visor repeats this advice.
In line with current legislation, this warning is
available in all of the languages required on the
previous pages. For more information on the Airbags
,
refer to the corresponding section.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
Only the front passenger airbag can be
deactivated. F

OFF" position.
F
R
emove the key, leaving the switch in this
position.
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on in the seat belt
warning lamps display screen. It stays
on while the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the front
passenger 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.
Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
When you remove the 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.
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt warning lamps display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
when the child seat is removed. Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-

a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
