The reading of data recorded by the system  
requires the following:  
Access to the interior of the vehicle or to the  
system.  
Emergency braking  
assistance (EBA)  
When braking in an emergency, depress  
the pedal very firmly and maintain this  
pressure.  
And – Special equipment that can be  
purchased from the manufacturer BOSCH  
Tool.  
This system reduces the emergency stopping  
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.  
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which  
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this  
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and  
an increase in braking efficiency.  
com).  
Aside from the vehicle Manufacturer, other  
parties such as law enforcement agencies may  
access this data in order to analyse the event.  
Normal operation of the ABS may make  
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake  
pedal.  
The fixed illumination of this warning  
lamp signals that there is a fault with  
the ABS.  
Post Collision Safety Brake  
(PCSB)  
Electronic stability control  
(ESC)  
If an accident is detected, the vehicle  
automatically initiates a post collision safety  
braking. The goal of this system is to reduce  
the risk of further collisions if the driver does not  
react.  
The electronic stability control programme  
includes the following systems:  
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive  
carefully at a moderate speed.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and  
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD).  
The system acts on frontal, lateral and rear  
collision.  
This warning lamp, when lit together  
with the STOP and ABS warning  
lamps, accompanied by a message  
and an audible signal, indicates an  
EBFD malfunction.  
Emergency braking assistance (EBA).  
Post Collision Safety Brake (PCSB).  
Anti-slip regulation (ASR).  
The system is not operational if the capability  
of the vehicle to trigger and execute the post  
collision safety braking is not available, as it can  
occur in destructive accidents or in other specific  
accident scenarios.  
It is possible to override the automatic braking by  
pressing the accelerator pedal.  
Operating conditions  
Dynamic stability control (DSC).  
Trailer stability assist (TSA).  
You must stop the vehicle.  
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off  
the ignition.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Anti-lock braking system  
(ABS)/Electronic brake force  
distribution (EBFD)  
The system operates, if the following conditions  
are met:  
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),  
ensure that these are approved for your  
vehicle.  
Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt  
pretensioners have been deployed by the  
collision.  
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability  
and handling during braking, and enable greater  
77  
Safety  
These systems are activated automatically every  
time the vehicle is started.  
Braking systems and electric functions  
remain continuously operational during and  
after collision.  
ASR/DSC  
These systems enhance safety during  
normal driving, but should not encourage the  
driver to take extra risks or drive at high  
speed.  
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,  
ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It  
is therefore important for your safety to keep  
these systems activated in all conditions, and  
particularly in difficult conditions.  
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.  
These systems are activated in the  
event of a problem with grip or  
trajectory (confirmed by this warning  
lamp flashing on the instrument  
panel).  
Driver has not depressed the accelerator  
pedal.  
Malfunction  
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  
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move  
freely and regain grip.  
In the event of a malfunction, one of these  
warning lamps will come on fixed on the  
instrument panel, accompanied by the Service  
warning lamp, the display of a message and an  
audible signal.  
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of  
grip permits.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
The ASR system is deactivated/  
reactivated in the ADAS touch screen  
application.  
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/  
Dynamic stability control  
(DSC)  
Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR  
system is indicated by this indicator  
lamp on the instrument panel coming  
on/going out and the display of a  
message.  
All tyre specifications are listed on the  
tyre/paint label. For more information  
on Identification markings, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
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.  
The ASR system is automatically reactivated  
every time the ignition is switched off or at  
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h) Reactivation is  
manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).  
Malfunction  
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.  
In the event of a malfunction, this  
warning lamp lights up on the  
instrument panel, accompanied by the  
display of a message and an audible  
signal.  
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99  
mph (60 and 160 km/h).

Safety  
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are  
enabled when the ignition is on.  
Force limiting system  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat  
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving  
their protection.  
Progressive force limiting system  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat  
belt on the chest of the occupant, taking  
their stature into account, thus improving their  
protection.  
If the system detects that the trailer  
is snaking, it applies the brakes  
to stabilise the trailer and reduces  
engine power, if necessary, to slow  
the vehicle (indicated by the flashing  
of this warning lamp on the instrument  
panel and the brake lamps coming  
on).  
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.  
In certain cases, the system may not detect  
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.  
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces,  
the system may not be able to prevent  
sudden trailer snaking.

loads, refer to the Engine technical data  
and towed loads section or your vehicle’s  
registration certificate.  
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,  
refer to the corresponding section.  
Malfunction  
In the event of an impact  
Depending on the nature and seriousness  
of the impacts, the pyrotechnic device may  
trigger before and independently of airbag  
deployment. 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 belt  
system checked, and if necessary replaced,  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp  
lights up on the instrument panel,  
accompanied by a message and an  
audible signal.  
Seat belts  
Inertia reel  
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and  
drive carefully! Have it checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia  
reel which allows the strap length to adjust  
automatically to the shape of the user. The seat  
belt returns to its storage automatically when it is  
not used.  
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which  
automatically locks the strap in the event of a  
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle  
rolls over. It can be released by pulling the strap  
firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in  
slightly.  
Pyrotechnic pretensioning  
This system improves safety in the event of a  
frontal or side impact.  
Depending on the severity of the impact,  
the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly  
tightens the seat belts against the body of the  
occupants.  
Front seat belts  
Each of the front seats has a three-point seat  
belt with inertia reel.  
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic  
pretensioning system and a progressive force  
limiting system.
