Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is star ted.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
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 system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again to
reactivate it manually.
)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button.
This warning lamp and the indicator
lamp in the button come on: the
DSC system no longer acts on the
operation of the engine.

Safety
Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent collisions.
It supplements the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of 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:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and protect 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,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
cer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide optimum 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. Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or par t 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
for ward movement. 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.

Safety
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or par t of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of a serious side impact in order to
limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each cur tain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compar tment area. In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if
the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may
not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
par t of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Safety
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between
the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
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 obser ved, 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 (see "Practical
information - § Accessories").
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 par t 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.
If possible, 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof.
This could cause injury to the head if the
cur tain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a par t in securing the
curtain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
