Safety
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on in the instrument panel, accompanied 
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce 
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers  enhanced safety in normal driving, 
provided that the recommendations on towing 
a trailer are observed. It should not 
encourage the driver to take risks, such as 
towing a trailer in adverse operating 
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the 
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated 
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive 
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect 
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the 
system may not be able to prevent sudden 
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which  improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use).
They come into operation in the event of a grip 
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are 
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation 
 
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be 
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31 
mph (50
  km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
  km/h), the systems 
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel 
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer 
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.  
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position. 
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel 
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by 
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during 
normal driving, but should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at high 
speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow, 
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It 
is therefore important for your safety to keep 
these systems activated in all conditions, and 
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems depends 
on compliance with the manufacturer's 
recommendations relating to the wheels 
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic 
components, as well as the assembly and 
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT 
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to 
ensure that these systems remain effective 
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be 
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the 
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the 
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC) 
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 
160
  km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer 
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to 
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces 
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the  instrument panel and the brake lamps 
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads, 
refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed 
Loads section or your vehicle’s registration 
certificate
To ensure safe driving with a  Towing device, 
refer to the corresponding section.

Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which  improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range 
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most 
slippery conditions (encountered during normal 
passenger car use). When combined with all-season M+S (Mud and 
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise 
between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to harness the 
power of the engine. Operation at high engine 
speeds is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on, accompanied by the display of a 
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes 
 
 
 
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low level of  wheel spin, based on the different levels 
of grip normally encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the 
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to the  conditions of grip encountered for each of 
the two front wheels on moving off.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass, etc.)
This mode, when moving off, allows  considerable spin on the wheel with the 
least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to 
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the 
most grip is controlled in such a way as to 
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin 
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully 
as possible.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two  driving wheels at the same time to allow 
the vehicle to move forward and limit the risks of 
getting stuck in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120
  km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as 
the vehicle may become stuck.

Safety
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you 
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the 
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle 
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the 
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h), 
regulation is paused automatically, the 
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the 
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in 
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the 
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the 
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal 
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes 
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel 
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system 
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in 
the button goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp comes on on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC  systems by turning the knob to the "OFF" 
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no  longer act on the operation of the engine 
or of the brakes in the event of a change of 
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically 
from 31 mph (50
  km/h) and whenever the 
ignition is switched on.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to 
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to 
occasionally drive on other less passable 
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving 
such as:
–
 
crossing and driving on terrain which 
could damage the underbody or strip away 
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler
, etc.) due 
to obstacles or stones in particular,
–
 
driving on terrain with steep gradients and 
poor grip,
–
 
crossing a stream.
Hill Assist  Descent 
Control
System that provides assistance when 
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel, 
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of 
control of the vehicle when descending, whether 
going forward or in reverse.
During a descent, it assists the driver in 
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the 
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the 
brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope 
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in 
neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding to 
the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system can 
be used with the selector at  N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active 
Safety Brake system is automatically 
deactivated.
The system is not available: –  if the speed of the vehicle is above 43 
mph (70
  km/h),
–
 
if the speed of the vehicle is being 
controlled by the 
Adaptive Cruise Control, 
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function is not saved when the 
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when the 
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary 
or when moving at speeds up to approximately 
31 mph (50
  km/h).
 
 
 
 
► To select the system, at speeds below 
31 mph (50   km/h), press this button until 
its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green 
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19 
mph (30
  km/h).
►
 
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the 
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear , 
the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes rapidly,
–
 
if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal 
is depressed, the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the 
maintained descent speed is lower.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system and force limiter.
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 pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat 
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus 
improving their protection.
Fastening 
 
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the 
buckle.
►
 
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
►  Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Two-seat front bench seat 
 
If the vehicle is fitted with a front bench seat, 
ensure that each seat belt is used with its correct 
buckle.
Do not interchange the driver's seat belt or 
buckle with the centre seat belt or buckle.
Rear seat belts 
 
    
Page 82 of 260

80
Safety
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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic 
pretensioner 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.
Following an impact, have the seat belt 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards 
improving the safety of the occupants (with the 
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the 
event of violent collisions.
 
Each rear seat is equipped with a seat belt but 
no pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force 
limiter.
Take care to insert each seatbelt into its 
matching buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the 
outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre 
seat.
Seat belt(s) warning lamp 
 
 
 
With individual front seats
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp 
comes on if a seat belt is not fastened or is 
unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph 
(20   km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2 
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the 
warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or 
passenger fasten their seat belt.
With two-seat front bench seat (and 
driver’s seat)
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp 
comes on if the driver’s seat belt is not fastened 
or is unfastened.
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp 
comes on if a passenger seat belt is unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph 
(20
  km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2 
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the warning 
lamp remains on until the driver fastens their 
seat belt.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers  use the seat belts correctly and that they 
are all fastened 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 fulfil their role fully.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt 
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
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.
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 does not twist,
–
 
be used to restrain only one person,
–
 
not show any signs of cuts or fraying,
–
 
not be converted or modified in order not to 
affect its performance.
Recommendations 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 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 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.

Safety
5Have 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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic 
pretensioner 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

Following an impact, have the seat belt 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards 
improving the safety of the occupants (with the 
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the 
event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors 
record and analyse the front and side impacts 
sustained in the impact detection zones:
–
 
in the event of a serious impact, the airbags 
are deployed instantly and contribute towards 
better protection of the occupants (with 
the exception of the centre seat in row 2); 
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 
certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not 
be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes 
towards ensuring your 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed, 
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 
incorporated in the system makes a noise and 
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the 
deployment of one or more airbags may result 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
