Operation
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, it indicates
that there is a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Activation
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 if
the engine and brakes.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
F
P
ress this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the lamp in the deactivation
button, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, indicate a
fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. F

P

ress this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR 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, black ice) that the risk of loss of
grip increases. It is therefore important
for your safety to keep the DSC and
ASR systems activated in all conditions,
and particularly in difficult conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation 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.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry
conditions, the vehicle must be fitted
with four snow tyres, allowing the the
vehicle to retain neutral handling on the
road.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Airbags
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a
serious front impact to all or part of the front 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants (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 belt).
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 roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.System which contributes towards improving the
protection of the 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.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
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.

Guidelines to follow:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...), do not attach or fix anything near to
the airbags or their trajectories when inflating
as this could cause injuries when the airbags
are deployed.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs
(clothing...). This could cause injury to the
chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
with deployment of the airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
- d rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
