Recirculation of the
interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and the side windows.
The recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
This function also allows the desired
temperature in the passenger compartment to
be reached in the shortest time.F

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
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 system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing a
trailer , 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.
The trailer stability assist system offers
increased safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on
towing a trailer are obser ved. It should
not encourage the driver to take 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 drive at
too high a speed.
In certain cases, oscillation 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 snaking of the trailer.
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps. 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.

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 centre rear passenger).
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 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.
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.
The 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.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
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.
The 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.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated) in the
event of a serious frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal 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.
The 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.

tyres, and after changing one or more wheels. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres
are correct for the conditions of use
of the vehicle and conform to the
recommendations on the tyre pressure
label.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
