BRAKING ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS*

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-

ables you to obtain the optimum braking

pressure more quickly, thus reducing

the stopping distance.

If this warning lamp comes on,

nal and a message in the mul-

Group of supplementary systems which

help you to obtain optimum braking in

complete safety in emergency situations:

malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-

tem which could result in loss of control

of the vehicle when braking.

-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

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.

(EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA).

-

If this warning lamp comes on,

together with the STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accompa-

nied by an audible signal and a

message in the multifunction screen, it

indicates a malfunction of the electron-

ic brake force distribution which could

result in loss of control of the vehicle

when braking.

Anti-lock braking system

and electronic brake force

distribution

When braking in an emergency,

!

press ﬁrmly without releasing the

pressure.

You must stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.

Linked systems which improve the sta-

bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-

cle when braking, in particular on poor

or slippery surfaces.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when there

is a risk of wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

pedal.

When replacing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that they conform to

the manufacturer's recommenda-

tions.

SAFETY

TRAJECTORY CONTROL

SYSTEMS

Steering/ESP coupling system

(SSP)

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and

electronic stability programme

(ESP)

This system optimises the stability of

the vehicle and its braking capacity by

combining the actions of the ESP and

electric power steering when braking on

surfaces on which the grip of the right-

hand and left-hand wheel differs.

It permits increased braking of the

wheels which are in contact with the

section of road offering the higher level

of grip and, anticipating the instability of

the vehicle, the application of a slight

correction to the turning angle of the

wheels to assist the driver in maintain-

ing his trajectory.

The anti-slip regulation (also known as

Traction Control) optimises traction to

prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-

ing on the brakes of the driving wheels

and on the engine.

The electronic stability programme 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.

) Press the "ESP OFF" button, locat-

ed in the centre of the dashboard.

Activation

These systems are activated automati-

cally each time the vehicle is started.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instru-

ment panel and the indicator lamp in the

button comes on, this indicates that the

ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-

!

ceptional safety in normal driving,

but this should not encourage the

driver to take extra risks or drive at

high speed.

The correct functioning of these

systems depends on observation

of the manufacturer's recommen-

dations on:

They come into operation in

the event of a grip or trajectory

problem.

This is indicated by ﬂashing of

this warning lamp in the instru-

ment panel.

Reactivation

These systems are reactivated automat-

ically each time the ignition is switched

back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

Deactivation

Operating fault

In exceptional conditions (starting a

vehicle which is bogged down, stuck

in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be

advisable to disarm the ASR and ESP

systems, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and a message in the multi-

function screen, this indicates a

malfunction of these systems.

After an impact, have these sys-

tems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are ﬁtted with a pre-

tensioning and force limiting system.

This system improves safety in the front

seats in the event of front impacts. De-

pending on the severity of the impact,

the pretensioning system instantly tight-

ens 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 chest of the oc-

cupant, increasing his protection.

On the 5-door versions, a slider, ﬁtted

on the seat belt, makes it possible to

support the buckle as close as possible

to the upper mounting.

When the ignition is switched on,

this warning lamp comes on on

the instrument panel if the driver

has not fastened their seat belt.

Above approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)

and for two minutes, this warning lamp

ﬂashes accompanied by an audible signal

have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on

until the driver fastens their seat belt.

This warning lamp comes on on the in-

Recommendations for children:

i

-

must be tightened as close to the

body as possible,

must restrain one adult only,

-

use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁfty,

rectly and that they are all properly

restrained before setting off.

-

Wherever you are seated in the ve-

hicle, always fasten your seat belt,

even for short journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulﬁl their role fully.

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.

The seat belts are ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic ad-

justment of the length of the strap

to your size. The seat belt is stored

automatically when not in use.

-

do not use the strap-guide* when

a child seat is installed,

never use the same seat belt to

never allow a child to travel on

your lap.

must not bear any trace of cuts or

fraying,

must be pulled in front of you with a

smooth movement, checking that it

does not twist,

-

must not be transformed or modiﬁed

to avoid altering its performance.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air-

bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners

is accompanied by a slight emission of

harmless smoke and a noise, due to

the activation of the pyrotechnic car-

tridge incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualiﬁed workshop.

In accordance with current safety regu-

lations, all repairs and checks must be

carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer who

can guarantee that the work is carried

out correctly, or qualiﬁed workshop.

Have your seat belts checked regularly

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop and 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 rolled up correctly.

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 an

automatic locking device which

comes into operation in the event of

a collision, on emergency braking

or if the vehicle rolls over. You can

release the device by pulling rapidly

on the strap and releasing it.
