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 (star ting 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.

Seat belts
Front seat belts Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fitted with a seat belt, three-point anchorages with iner tia reel and force limiter (except for the centre rear seat).
Fastening
 Pull the strap, then inser t the tongue in the buckle.  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
 Press the red button on the buckle.  Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants. The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so improving their protection.

Safety
Front seat belt height adjustment
 To adjust the anchorage point, squeeze the control A and slide it until you find a notch.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp(s) flash for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal. Once these two minutes have elapsed, the warning lamp(s) remain on until the driver or one or more passengers fasten their seat belt.
Seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamps
1. Front and/or rear seat belts not fastened/unfastened warning lamp in the instrument panel. 2. Front left seat belt warning lamp. 3. Front right seat belt warning lamp. 4. Rear right seat belt warning lamp. 5. Rear centre seat belt warning lamp. 6. Rear left seat belt warning lamp.
Front seat belt warning lamps
On switching on the ignition, warning lamp 1 comes on in the instrument panel and the corresponding warning lamp 2 and/or 3 come(s) on in red in the passenger's seat belt and front airbag warning lamp display if the corresponding seat
belt is not fastened or is unfastened.

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 shor t 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.

Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:  with the ignition off , inser t the key in the n offpassenger airbag deactivation switch,  turn it to the "OFF" position,  then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
According to version, this warning lamp comes on either in the instrument panel or in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display when the ignition is on and until the airbag is reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
If at least one of the two airbag warning lamps come on continuously, do not install a child seat on the front passenger seat. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display for approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning 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.
If this warning lamp flashes, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The passenger's front airbag may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
