Safety

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporating the following systems:

-

anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA),

wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction control,

dynamic stability control (DSC).

Definitions

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

and electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

This system improves the stability and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking

and contributes towards improved control in

corners, in particular on poor or slippery road

surfaces.

Emergency braking assistance

(EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables you to

reach the optimum braking pressure more

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping

distance.

It is triggered according to the speed at which

the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a

reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an

increase in the effectiveness of the braking.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

The ASR system (also known as Traction

Control) optimises traction in order to limit

wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving

wheels and on the engine. It also improves

the directional stability of the vehicle on

acceleration.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)

If there is a difference between the path

followed by the vehicle and that required by

the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and

automatically acts on the brake of one or more

wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle

to the required path, within the limits of the laws

of physics.

The electronic brake force distribution system

manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.

loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

In emergency braking, press

very firmly without releasing the

pressure.

Activation

These systems are activated automatically

each time the vehicle is started.

As soon as they detect a problem of grip or

trajectory, these systems act on the operation if

the engine and brakes.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

This is indicated by flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument

panel.

125

Safety

DSC/ASR

The DSC and ASR systems offer

increased safety in normal driving, but

they should not encourage the driver to

take extra risks or drive at high speed.

It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,

snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of

grip increases. It is therefore important

for your safety to keep the DSC and

ASR systems activated in all conditions,

and particularly in difficult conditions.

The correct operation of these

Deactivation

Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle

which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft

ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate

the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn

freely and regain grip.

The systems are reactivated automatically each

time the ignition is switched back on or from

30 mph (50 km/h).

Reactivate the systems as soon as the

level of grip permits.

systems depends on observation of

the manufacturer's recommendations

regarding as much the wheels (tyres

and rims), braking and electronic

components as the assembly and repair

procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.

To benefit in full from the effectiveness

of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry

conditions, the vehicle must be fitted

with four snow tyres, allowing the the

vehicle to retain neutral handling on the

road.

Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate

them manually:

The DSC and ASR systems no longer act

on the operation of the engine and on the

brakes in the event of a involuntary change of

trajectory.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

After an impact, have these systems

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

126

Safety

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 touring use).

Associated with all-season M+S (Mud

and Snow) tyres, this system offers a

compromise between safety, adhesion

and traction.

Standard mode (ESC)

Snow mode

Mode calibrated for a low level of wheel spin,

based on the different levels of grip normally

encountered on the road.

Mode which adapts its strategy to the

conditions of grip encountered for each of the

two front wheels on moving off.

127

Safety

You can deactivate certain

functions of the ESC (ASR

and DSC) by turning the dial

to the "OFF" position.

These functions are reactivated

automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or

every time the ignition is switched back on.

Driving advice

Your vehicle is designed principally to

drive on tarmac roads but it allows you

to drive on other less passable terrain

occasionally.

However, it does not permit off-road

driving such as:

Mud mode

Sand mode

Mode which, when moving off allows

considerable spin on the wheel with the least

grip to optimise 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 pass as

much torque as possible.

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

Mode which 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.

-

crossing and driving on terrain

which could damage the underbody

or strip away components (fuel

pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due to

obstacles or stones in particular,

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

be used to restrain only one person,

not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

-

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 are fitted with an automatic

locking device which comes into operation in

the event of a collision, 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 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.

In the event of an impact

7

Depending on the nature and seriousness

of the impact, the pretensioning 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.

Safety

Airbags

General information

Front airbags

System designed to contribute towards improving

the safety of the occupants (with the exception of

the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent

collisions. The airbags supplement the action of

the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except

the centre rear passenger belt).

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

System which contributes towards improving the

protection of the the driver and front passenger

in the event of a serious front impact in order to

limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax.

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.

Impact detection zones

-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute towards

better protection of the occupants of the

vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre

passenger); 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 roll-over conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt alone

contributes towards ensuring your protection

in these situations.

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

-

Deployment of one or more of the

airbags is accompanied by a slight

emission of smoke 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 noise of detonation related to the

deployment of one or more airbags may

result in a slight loss of hearing for a

short time.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the

passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the

event of a serious front impact to all or part of the

front 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 thorax and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the

steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,

passenger's side to cushion their forward

movement.

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.

132

Safety

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be

deactivated.

Operating fault

To assure the safety of your child,

the passenger's front airbag must be

deactivated when you install a rearward

facing child seat on the front passenger

seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were deployed.

If this warning lamp comes on,

checked. The airbags may no longer be

deployed in the event of a serious impact.

F

Reactivation

When you remove the rearward facing child

seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to

the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and

so assure the safety of your front passenger in

the event of an impact.

When switching the ignition on,

this warning lamp comes on in the

seat belt and passenger's front

airbag warning lamps display for

approximately one minute, to signal

that the passenger's front airbag is

activated.

On switching on the ignition, this

warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and/or in the seat

belt and passenger's front airbag

warning lamps display. It stays on

until the airbag is reactivated.

133

Safety

Lateral airbags

System which contributes towards improving

the protection of 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, in the

outer side of the seat back frame.

Impact detection zones

Deployment

The 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.

Curtain airbags

Deployment

System which contributes towards improving

the protection of the driver and passengers

(with the exception of the rear centre

passenger) in the event of a serious side

impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the

side of the head.

The lateral airbags are 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 panel.

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.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

134

Safety

Guidelines to follow:

Front airbags

Lateral airbags

Sit in a normal upright position.

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.

Use only approved covers on the seats,

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not allow anything to come between

the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,

object...), do not attach or fix anything near to

the airbags or their trajectories when inflating

as this could cause injuries when the airbags

are deployed.

Never modify the original definition of your

vehicle, particularly in the area directly

around the airbags.

compatible with the deployment the lateral

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, you can

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Refer to the "Accessories" section.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs

(clothing...). This could cause injury to the

chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

Do not fit or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems with deployment of the airbags.

checked.

All work on the airbag system must be carried

out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Even 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. 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.
