Excessive wheel slippage may damage
the differential of your vehicle.
Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated
automatically.
F
P
ress the button again to reactivate them
manually.
The symbol going off in the instrument panel
indicates reactivation of the ASR and DSC
systems.
Operating fault
Illumination of these warning lamps
in the instrument panel indicates
malfunction of these systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the ASR /DSC systems
checked. Although the ASR /DSC systems help
improve safety in normal driving, they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The risk of loss of traction increases in
conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,
ice). For your safety, you should therefore
keep these systems activated at all times,
particularly in poor conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observing the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), braking system components
and electronic components, as well as
assembly and repair procedures used by
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Engine brake reduction
indicator lamp
Your vehicle is equipped with a system for the
recovery of energy during deceleration which
uses the engine brake.
It recovers into the traction battery some of the
energy generated when the vehicle slows down
(e.g. on a long descent) to improve the range
of the battery and so the distance that can be
travelled between charges.
When the traction battery has been charged
fully and for the first few miles (or kilometres) of
use of the vehicle, the engine brake is reduced
temporarily.
This indicator lamp flashes on the
instrument panel, inviting you to
adapt your driving accordingly.
We therefore recommend that you anticipate
your braking as much as possible: use the
brake pedal to slow down or stop the vehicle.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
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 passenger’s chest, thus
improving their protection.

Front seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning lamp
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on for a
few seconds, accompanied by an
audible signal, if the driver and/or
the passenger have not fastened
their seat belt. Within one minute after switching on the
ignition, if the driver does not fasten their seat
belt, this warning lamp flashes, accompanied
by an intermittent audible signal.
After about 90
seconds, the warning lamp and
the audible signal will go off, then come on
again and stay on until the driver fastens their
seat belt.
While the vehicle is in motion , if the seat belt
is unfastened, you will be notified by the same
alerts.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are equipped with two 3 -point
seat belts each fitted with an inertia reel.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length
to automatically adjust to your shape. The
seat belt returns to its storage position
automatically when it is not used.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in 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.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event
of a collision or emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it
so that it reels in slightly.In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-
M ust be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-

M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-

M
ust not show signs of tearing or fraying,
-

M
ust not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by 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.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. Instructions for children
Use a suitable child seat, if the passenger is
less than 12
years old or shorter than one and
a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts , the pyrotechnic device may
trigger before and independently of airbag
deployment. Deployment of the pretensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
After an impact, have the seat belt system
checked and, if necessary, replaced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child
seat nor allow a passenger to sit in
the front passenger seat.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a severe side impact applied to all or
part of 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 and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbagsThis system protects the driver and passengers
in the event of a severe lateral impact in order
to limit the risk of injury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
Each curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part 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 curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, 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.

This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure every month as well
as before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3
bar to the values
indicated on the label.Under-inflation alert

n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit. The alert persists until the reference
pressure values are reinitialised once the
tyre or tyres concerned are reinflated,
repaired or replaced. In case of tyre repair
or replacement, the sensor identifiers
must be logged by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Resetting the reference
pressures
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

The warning lamp will then go off after driving
for about a hundred metres.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, the pressure in the tyres is no

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refitted
with a tyre. Any tyre repair or replacement on a wheel
fitted with this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you fit the second set of tyres stored
in the system, the malfunction alert will
appear until this second set is selected in
the configuration menu.
Managing sets of tyres
If you have registered a second set of tyres with
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
every time the set of tyres is changed (e.g.
"winter" tyre), select the set you have just
installed in the configuration menu.
Once the new set has been fitted, check
and adjust the pressure to the value stated
on the tyre pressure label.
