Safety
5Pedestrian horn (Electric)
This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is approaching.
The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle
is moving and at speeds of up to 25 mph
(40
km/h), in forward or reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC: Electronic
Stability Control) integrating the following
systems:
–

anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD),
–


emergency braking assistance (EBA),
–


wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
–


dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and handling
of your vehicle when braking and contributes
towards improved control on bends, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces. ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables 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 depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
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 monitors 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by a message on the
instrument panel display screen, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When these warning lamps come
on, accompanied by a message on
the instrument panel display screen, they
indicate 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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a period of adjustment of
approximately 310 miles (500 km) is
necessary. During this period, it is advisable
to avoid abrupt, repeated and prolonged
braking.
The anti-lock device does not allow for shorter braking. On a very slippery road

62
Safety
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
–


not show signs of tearing or fraying.
–


not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT


dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
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.
Airbags

The airbags have been designed to optimise the
safety of the occupants in the event of a serious
collision; they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
–

if there is a violent impact, the airbags deploy
instantly and help better protect occupants of the
vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility
or the possible exit of the occupants.
–


in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are not
deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
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 airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
smoke and a noise, resulting from activation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful, sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of head and
chest injury.
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.

– one rear ring, to fix the upper strap referred to
as the TOP TETHER. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two front rings.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring.
To fasten this strap, remove and stow the head
restraint before installing the child seat on
this seat (refit it once the child seat has been
removed). Then, attach the hook to the rear ring
and tighten the upper strap.
