the following systems:

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.

snow.

-

the dynamic stability control (DSC).

In these situations, Intelligent Traction

Control limits the amount of wheel slip to

provide the best traction and trajectory control.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,

mud…), it can be useful to temporarily

deactivate the dynamic stability control and

wheel anti-slip systems to allow a degree of

wheel spin and so recover grip.

It is recommended that the system be

reactivated as soon as possible.

Snow tyres are strongly recommended on

surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

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 provides improved control in corners, in

particular on poor or slippery road surfaces.

The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of

emergency braking.

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.

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.

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, 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).

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

them manually:

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 behaviour on

the road.

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

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

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.

146

Safety

Airbags

System designed to maximise 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 force-

limiting seat belts (with the exception of the

centre rear passenger).

Front airbags

System which protects 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

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the 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,

7

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

-

in the case of a minor or rear impact

or in certain roll-over conditions, the

airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

Deployment of the airbag(s) 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.

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.

The noise of the detonation may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short

time.

147

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

"rear facing" child seat on the front

passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were deployed.

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.

148

Safety

Lateral airbags

System which protects 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.

could hamper the operation of the airbags or

injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems hit it violently.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

Refer to the "Accessories" section.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs

milliseconds) then deflates within the same

time discharging the hot gas via openings

provided for this purpose.

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This

could cause injury to the head if the curtain

airbag is deployed.

If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the

grab handles installed on the roof, they play a

part in securing the curtain airbags.
