may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.

ing the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs, the
warning light comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The DSC offers improved
safety during normal driving
but should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks (late
braking) or drive at very high speeds.
Operation of the system is guaranteed
on condition that the manufacturer's
instructions regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT network assembly and
maintenance/repair procedures are
complied with.
Following an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Warning light on the instru-
ment panel.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detec-
tion zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the
i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y
so that they do not hinder the vis-
ibility of the occupants or their pos-
sible exit from the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e m a x i m u m p r o -
tection in these situations.
Front air bags
The front air bags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
They are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact oc-
curs (during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more air bags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front air bag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.

In the event of a malfunction
If this warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact. Instrument panel warning light.
Disarming the front passenger’s front air bag *
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-fac-
ing child seat on the front passen-
ger seat. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed
i f t h e a i r b a g w e r e t o i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
the key keeping the slot in this po-
sition. Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.
* According to country. When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on
the instrument panel for the
duration of disarming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact. The steering column air bag protects
the driver’s knees in the event of a se-
rious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.

Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.
