The warning lamp comes on for a few
seconds when switching on (ON position).
If it does not go out or come on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Moving vehicle If this warning lamp remains on
constantly, it indicates an anti-lock
braking system malfunction that
could cause control of the vehicle to
be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If both these warning lamps come
on, they indicate a malfunction in the
electronic brake force distribution
that could cause control of the
vehicle to be lost during braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they comply with manufacturer
recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency. In emergency braking, press very firmly
and maintain this pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of
the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory. 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, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can regain grip.

ress this button until the corresponding
symbol appears in the instrument panel.
The display of this symbol indicates
that the ASR and DSC systems are
deactivated.

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.

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.

Airbags
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.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions 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 detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an air bag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
The airbags are designed to help enhance the
safety of occupants in the event of a serious
collision. They complement the action of the
safety belts equipped with force limiters.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i

f 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.
-

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.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger from the risk of injury to the head
and chest in the event of a severe frontal
impact.
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.
Activation
The airbags are deployed (except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated) in
the event of a severe frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal 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 front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard, to
cushion their forward movement.
Safety

55
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.
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.

Safety

56
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
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, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems 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.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
in case of airbag deployment.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT


dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm
when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary. Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
