Anti-lock braking system
(ABS/EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
The ABS prevents the wheels from locking,
and the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
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 sur faces (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 sur face; you
will then be able to continue to manoeuvre the
vehicle to avoid an obstacle.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 when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on
together with the brake and STOP
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 when braking.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.To maintain operation of the emergency
braking assistance system, press very
firmly on the brake pedal, maintaining this
pressure.
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 approved by
P E U G E O T.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
c ont rol (ESC)
These systems are associated with and
complementary to the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for maintaining
optimum traction and avoiding loss of control of
the vehicle during acceleration.
This system optimises traction to prevent the
wheels from skidding by acting on the brakes
of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also
improves the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
With the ESC system, maintain the direction
without attempting to steer in the opposite
direction.

Operation
The warning lamp flashes when the
ASR or ESC is triggered.
Deactivation
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
ASR and ESC systems, so that the wheels can
spin and regain grip.F

P
ress the button or turn the
knob to the ESC OFF position
(depending on version).
The LED lights up: the ASR and ESC systems
are deactivated.
They reactivate again:
-

a
utomatically above 31 mph (50 km/h),
If there is a difference between the path followed
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the
ESC system automatically acts on the brake of
one or more wheels and on the engine to return
the vehicle to the required path.
- manually when you press the button again or turn the knob
to this position (depending on
ve r s i o n).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
systems, the warning lamp and the
LED come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of
each tyre.
Although the ASR /ESC systems help to
improve safety in normal driving, they
should not encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during passenger car use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use 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 to confirm your choice.

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.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
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 have a device for automatic
locking in the event of a collision, sudden
braking or if the vehicle turns 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 must:
-
b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified 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 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 rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. 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 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 impact , the pyrotechnic device may
be deployed before and independently of the
airbags. 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 belts
system checked and, if necessary, replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

facing" child seat, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the thorax.
These are incorporated in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger(s).
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat's
backrest frame, door side.
Activation
The lateral airbag is deployed on one side in
the event of a severe side impact covering all
or part of side impact zone B, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle in a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant and the corresponding door panel.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
