When the system is regulating, the Active  
Safety Brake system is automatically  
deactivated.  
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the  
most grip is controlled in such a way as to  
transmit as much torque as possible.  
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin  
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully  
as possible.  
However, it does not permit off-road driving  
such as:  
– driving on terrain which could damage the  
underbody or strip away components (fuel  
pipe, fuel cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or  
stones in particular,

The system is not available:  
– if the speed of the vehicle is above 43  
(mode active up to 31 mph (50 km/h))  
– driving on terrain with steep gradients and  
poor grip,  
– crossing a waterway.  
mph (70 km/h),  
– if the speed of the vehicle is being  
controlled by the Adaptive Cruise Control,  
depending on the type of gearbox.  
Sand  
This mode 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.  
Hill Assist Descent  
Control  
System that provides assistance when  
descending on loose or soft surfaces (gravel,  
mud, etc.) or a steep gradient.  
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of  
control of the vehicle when descending, whether  
going forward or in reverse.  
During a descent, it assists the driver in  
maintaining a constant speed, depending on the  
gear engaged, while progressively releasing the  
brakes.  
Switching on  
By default, the system is not selected.  
The state of the function is not saved when the  
ignition is switched off.  
The driver can select the system when the  
engine is running, when the vehicle is stationary  
or when moving at speeds up to approximately  
31 mph (50 km/h).  
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))  
Do not use the other modes on sand as  
the vehicle may become stuck.  
You can deactivate the ASR and  
DSC systems by turning the knob  
to the "OFF" position.  
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer  
act on the operation of the engine or of the  
brakes in the event of a change of trajectory.  
These systems are reactivated automatically  
from 31 mph (50 km/h) and whenever the  
ignition is switched on.  
For the system to activate, the slope  
must be greater than 5 %.  
The system can be used with the gearbox in  
neutral.  
Recommendations  
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.  
To select the system, at speeds below  
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until  
its green indicator lamp comes on; this lamp  
appears in grey in the instrument panel.  
The vehicle is designed principally to  
drive on tarmac roads, but it allows you to  
occasionally drive on other less passable  
terrain.

Safety  
► The system becomes active at speeds  
below 19 mph (30 km/h); this lamp comes  
on in green in the instrument panel.  
► When the vehicle begins its descent, you can  
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the  
system regulates the speed:  
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear,  
the speed decreases and the  
indicator lamp flashes rapidly,  
– if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal  
is depressed, the speed decreases and the  
indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the  
maintained descent speed is lower.  
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you  
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the  
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle  
gradually in motion.  
Depending on the severity of the impact, the  
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly  
tightens the seat belts against the body of the  
occupants.  
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are  
enabled when the ignition is on.  
Force limiter  
This system reduces the pressure of the seat  
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving  
their protection.  
Off  
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes  
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel  
also goes off.  
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system  
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in  
the button goes off.  
Malfunction  
If a fault occurs with the system, this  
warning lamp comes on in green,  
accompanied by the display of a message in the  
instrument panel.  
In the event of an impact  
Depending on the nature and  
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic  
pretensioner 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.  
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
The brake lamps light up automatically when the Seat belts  
system is regulating.  
Inertia reel  
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),  
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel  
regulation is paused automatically, the  
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the  
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in  
the button remains on.  
Regulation resumes automatically when the  
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the  
slope and pedal release conditions are met.  
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal  
again at any time.  
which allows the strap length to automatically  
adjust to your shape. 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  
Front seat belts  
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic  
pretensioning system and force limiter.  
This system improves safety in the event of a  
frontal or side impact.
