ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS - EBFD)
the ABS and eBFD (electronic brake
force distribution) systems improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle on braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
t

he ABS prevents locking of the
wheels, the
e BFD provides control of
the braking pressure wheel by wheel. If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the ABS which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking.
If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the brake
and S
t
OP
warning lamps,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, press the pedal
firmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
t

his alters the resistance of the brake
pedal under your foot.
to prolong the operation of the
emergency braking assistance system:
keep your foot on the brake pedal.Good practice
the anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not
reduce the braking distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice,
oil,
etc...) the ABS may increase the
braking distance. When braking in
an emergency, do not hesitate to
press the brake pedal firmly, without
releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle
to avoid an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be
felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that these are
recommended by P
euge O t
.Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a P

euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
these systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
t

he ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
t

he system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
u

se the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
the ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
t

he operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the ASR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-

automatically above 30 mph

(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the L
e D come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-

Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-

t
he L
e D comes on: the ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-

manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model). Contact a P

euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
t

he warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:
-

crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-

driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-


crossing a stream.
On snow

, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
t

he accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way.

this DSC mode is calibrated
for a low level of skidding,
based on dif
ferent conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
t

his DSC OFF mode is
only suitable for specific
conditions encountered when
moving off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h) the system
returns to DSC mode automatically.t his snow mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
t

his off-road mode (mud,
wet grass...) allows, when
moving off, considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and 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
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.t his sand mode allows a
little wheelspin on the two
driving wheels at the same
time to allow the vehicle to
move forward and reduces
the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.

SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat side.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Seat belt not fastened warning lamp
Unfastening
Press the red button.When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if a user at the front has not
fastened their seat belt.
Good practice
the driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving of
f.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
e

nsure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.
the front passenger's seat may be
fitted with a presence detector, in which
case you should not place anything
heavy on this seat as this could trigger
the alert.

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fifty

,
-

never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 5.

dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your P

euge O t
dealer
can guarantee all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified
workshop: they must not show any
signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be converted or
modified.t

movement,
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible.
t

he upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
t

he lap part should be placed as low
as possible on the pelvis.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
completely. If the seats are fitted with
armrests, the lap part of the seat belt
should always pass under the armrest.

AIRBAGS
General information
the airbags have been designed to
maximise 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, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suf
fered in
the impact detection zones:
-

in the event of a serious impact,
the airbags inflate instantly and
contribute towards better protecting
the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly

, so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their possible exit
from the vehicle. -

in the event of a minor or rear
impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to contribute towards your
protection in these situations.
t

he seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

Partner_2_VP_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2014
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...).
t
his could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified personnel at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
e

ven if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
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. Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats.
t

hese will not hinder
inflation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs.
t

his could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible 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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
t

his equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
t

he deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
t

his smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
t

he noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
t

he passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed facing rearward.

Curtain airbags
this is a system which protects the
driver and passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat of row 2)
in the event of a serious side impact in
order to limit the risk of head injuries.
e

ach curtain airbag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.
Activation
It is triggered 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.
Lateral airbags
this is a system which protects the
driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front
seat backrest frame, on the door side.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally 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 lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel. Impact detection zones
