They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic lighting of hazard warning lights *
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the
hazard warning lights come on auto-
matically. They switch off automatically
t h e fi r s t t i m e y o u a c c e l e r a t e .
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The electronic stability programme
(ESP) incorporates the following sys-
tems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the braking system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance system,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Traction control (ASR)
The ASR system optimises traction in
order to avoid 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 moni-
tors 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.
Operating modes
Definitions
Emergency braking assistance
system
In an emergency, this system ena-
bles you to reach the optimum braking
pressure more quickly and therefore
reduce the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed
at which the brake pedal is pressed.
This is felt by a reduction in the resis-
tance of the pedal and an increase in
the effectiveness of the braking. When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the ABS, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP
and ABS warning lights,
accompanied by a buzzer
and a message, it indicates
that there is a malfunction of the elec-
tronic brake force distribution, which
can cause a loss of control of the vehi-
cle when braking.
Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and braking system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The braking system provides integral
management of the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g
the pressure. Operating fault
When a system malfunction occurs,
the warning light comes on accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a mes-
sage 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 guaran-
teed on condition that the manufactu-
rer'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.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in mud, immo-
bilised in snow, on unstable ground…),
it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.

SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on ,
if a front passenger has not fastened
his seat belt and if the vehicle speed
is below 13 mph (20 km/h) , you are
warned by lighting of the seat belt
warning light .
The warning light switches off when
the seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fas-
tened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph
(20 km/h) , y o u a r e w a r n e d b y fl a s h -

multifunction display locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).

The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.

of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection. Rear seat belts

These seat belts have a force limiter.
To fasten the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap. To unfasten the seat belts
Press the red button on the buckle.
Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may trigger the lighting of
the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.

The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up 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.

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling rapidly on the strap
and releasing it. In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one person of adult size only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
- m u s t n o t b e t r a n s f o r m e d o r m o d i fi e d to avoid altering its performance.
In accordance with current safety regu-
lations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and 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 rolled up correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passen-
ger is less than 12 years old or shorter
t h a n o n e m e t r e fi f t y .
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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 pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear- facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to
i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off, in-
sert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position. 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
serious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.

Front side air bags
The side air bags protect the driver
and passengers in the event of a se-
rious side impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated into
the front seat back.
Activation
The side air bags are deployed inde-
pendently of each other in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B ,
