Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/

Dynamic stability control

(DSC)

Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises

traction by using engine braking and by applying

the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the

vehicle's directional stability.

If there is a diﬀerence between the vehicle’s

trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the

dynamic stability control system automatically

uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired

path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

These systems are activated automatically every

time the vehicle is started.

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 in relation 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 braking eﬃciency.

Deactivation/Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle

that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on

loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the

ASR system, so that the wheels can move freely

and regain grip.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of

grip permits.

loads, refer to the Engine technical data

and towed loads section or your vehicle’s

registration certiﬁcate.

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the

system may not be able to prevent sudden

trailer snaking.

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 provided by PEUGEOT

dealers.

In order to ensure that these systems remain

eﬀective in wintry conditions, the use of snow

or all-season tyres is recommended. All four

wheels must be ﬁtted with tyres approved for

your vehicle.

Advanced Grip Control

This special patented traction control system

improves grip on snow, mud and sand.

To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,

refer to the corresponding section.

For optimum grip on snow, it is

recommended that you ﬁt the vehicle

Recommendations

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

The vehicle is designed principally

to drive on tarmac roads, but it may

occassionally drive on other less passable

terrain.

However, it does not permit oﬀ-road driving:

– Driving on terrain that can damage the

underbody or tear oﬀ elements (e.g. fuel

pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in

particular.

The trailer stability control system

provides an extra safety feature under

normal driving conditions, when following the

recommendations for use of trailers and

current legislation in force in your country. It

must not encourage the driver to take extra

risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable

conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,

exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inﬂated

tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at

excessive speed.

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.

The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99

mph (60 and 160 km/h).

– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and

poor grip.

– Crossing a waterway.

This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel

spin to oﬀer maximum traction according to the

snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick

snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also

adapted to the conditions encountered when

driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of

the vehicle.

For the system to activate, the gradient

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.

other driving mode.

The system is automatically deactivated when

the ignition is switched oﬀ.

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

traction torque as possible.

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

When the system is regulating, the Active

Safety Brake system is automatically

deactivated.

The system is no longer available if the

speed of the vehicle is:

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deﬂate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualiﬁed workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Installation

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the

seat belt may require the seat height to be

adjusted.

In order to be eﬀective, a seat belt must:

– be tightened as close to the body as

possible.

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.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

– be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

– must only be used to secure one person.

– not show signs of tearing or fraying.

– not be changed or modiﬁed, in order to

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁtted in the seat backrest

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone B.

The lateral airbag inﬂates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

Advice

For the airbags to be fully eﬀective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not ﬁx or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or

hit it violently.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Curtain airbags

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as these help to secure the curtain

airbags.

Lateral airbags

Never modify the original deﬁnition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. 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.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

At the rear, any objects placed on the outer

seats or the folded backrest of the 1/3 bench

seat could become projectiles when the

lateral airbags are deployed.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modiﬁcation or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

seats suited to their size or weight, on seats

ﬁtted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

– Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel

by its spokes or resting your hands on the

centre part of the wheel.

– Children ageing less than 15 months must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

Forward-facing or rearward-facing

Installing a booster seat

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in ﬁrm and steady contact

with the ﬂoor.

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child's shoulder without

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child's thighs.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety in

the event of an accident.

► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front

seat.

► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact

with it.

Additional protections

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

child seat harness keeping the slack relative

to the child's body to a minimum, even for

short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened

correctly on the child seat and that it secures

the child seat ﬁrmly on the vehicle seat. If

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays,

ﬁt side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

– A child alone and unsupervised inside a

vehicle.

– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.

– The keys within reach of children inside the

vehicle.

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

Remove the head restraint before

installing a child seat with a backrest on a

passenger seat.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being
