Safety

      Emergency braking 

assistance  

  In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
 It is triggered by 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.

*    The CSC system is linked with the EBFD on 

vehicles which are not fitted with ASR/ESP 
systems.  

               Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and 

braking systems (EBFD and CSC * ) 

The ABS, in conjunction with the EBFD and 
CSC *  braking systems, increases the stability 
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on braking
and provides improved control, in particular on 
poor or slippery road surfaces. 
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of 
emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC *  systems provide full
control of the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
A distribution between:
-  the front and the rear in the case of the 

EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution), 

-  

the left and the right in the case of the
CSC *  (Cornering Stability Control).

  When changing wheels (tyres), make
sure that these are approved. 

 The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock. 

When this warning lamp comes on, 
it indicates that there is a fault with 
the ABS, which could cause a loss of 

control of the vehicle when braking.
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

  When these warning lamps
come on simultaneously, it
indicates that there is a fault 

with the braking system or that the parking 
brake has not been released fully, which can
cause a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking. 
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Normal operation of the ABS may make 
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake 
pedal. 

In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.

Safety

               Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and electronic 

stability programme (ESP)  

  Operating check

  Operation of the ASR and 

ESP systems 

 When one of these two systems 
is operating, this warning lamp
comes on.  

 If a fault occurs with the systems, this
warning lamp comes on. 
 Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop to have the
systems checked.

These systems are linked and supplement 
the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of 
the driving wheels and on the engine. It also 
allows the directional stability of the vehicle to 
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory 
followed by the vehicle and that required by 
the driver, the ESP system automatically acts 
on the brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to put the vehicle back on course, within 
the limits of the laws of physics.  

The ASR/ESP systems offer 
exceptional safety during normal 
driving, but this should not encourage 
the driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed. 
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
ma-nufacturer's recommendations 
regar-ding the wheels (tyres and
rims), the braking components and the 
electronic components as well as the
repair procedures use by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or qualified workshop.
 After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

            Seat belts  

   3-door   

   5-door   

The rear seats are equipped with two three-
point inertia reel seat belts. 
You can store the seat belt buckles in the 
housing A.

 Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the
stalk.
 Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by
pulling the strap.
 To unfasten the seat belts, press the button on 
the stalk.

  Pretensioning front seat 

belts with force limiter 

 Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by means of the
introduction of pretensioning seat
belts with force limiter for the

r

front seats. Depending on the force of 
the impact, the pretensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and 
pulls them against the body of the 
occupants. 
 The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
 The force limiter reduces the 
pressure of the seat belt on the 
chest of the occupant, increasing
their protection.

Safety

  *   According to model.  

The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the seat belts correctly 
and that they are all properly restrained
before setting off. 
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for 
short journeys. 
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfil their role fully. 
If the seats have armrests * , the lap part
of the seat belt must always pass under 
the armrest.
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 stored 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, on emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling rapidly on the strap and 
releasing it. 

  In order to be effective, a seat belt: 
-  

must be tightened as close to the body as
possible, 

-  

must restrain one adult only, 

-  

must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

-  

must be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that it does
not twist, 

-  

must not be transformed or modified to 
avoid altering its performance.

In accordance with current safety regulations, 
all repairs and checks must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer who can guarantee that
the work is carried out correctly, or qualified
workshop. 
Have your seat belts checked regularly by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
and 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 rolled up correctly.

  Recommendations for children: 

   -  

use a suitable child seat if the passenger 
is less than 12 years old or shorter than
one metre fifty,

  -  

do not use the strap-guide *  when a child 
seat is installed, 

  -  

never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person, 

  -  

never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of the impacts
 , the pre-tensioning device 
may be triggered before and independently 
of the air bags. Triggering of the pre-
tensioners is accompanied by a slight 
emission 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 dea-ler or a qualified 
workshop.

Safety

            Airbags  

 Front airbags  

  Front airbag fault

 Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder 
the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if 
necessary from the vehicle. The airbags are 
not deployed in the case of minor impacts, 
rear impacts or in certain roll-over conditions. 
The seat belt is sufficient to ensure maximum
protection in these situations. The seriousness 
of a collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision. 
Airbags only operate when the ignition is 
switched on. When they are deployed, a noise
is heard during inflation.

The airbags have been designed to maximise 
the safety of the occupants in the event of 
serious collisions. They work in conjunction 
with the force-limiting seat belts. The 
electronic detectors register and analyse 
any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in the
impact detection zones (see diagram): if the
deployment threshold is reached, the airbags 
inflate instantly and protect the occupants of 
the vehicle.  

  These are fitted in the centre of the steering wheel 
for the driver and in the dashboard for the front
passenger. They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passenger's airbag is 
deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact
applied in the impact zone A  in the longitudinal

A

centreline of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and
from the front of the vehicle towards the rear. The 
airbag inflates between the front occupant of the
vehicle and the dashboard to cushion his forward 
movement. The airbags therefore limit the risk of 
injury to the head and chest.  

A.   Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Note:  the gas escaping from the 
airbags can be a minor irritant.

Flashing indicates an airbag fault,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have the system 
checked. The airbags may no longer be 

deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Safety

To ensure the safety of your child, it is 
essential to deactivate the passenger's
airbag 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 air bag were
to inflate.
)

With the ignition switched off, insert the

f

key into the passenger airbag deactivation 
switch  1, turn it to the "OFF" position, then 
remove the key keeping the switch in this 
position.

 In the "OFF" position, the passenger airbag will
not be deployed in the event of an impact. 
 As soon as the  "rear-facing"  child seat is 
removed, turn the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and thus 
ensure the safety of your passenger in the 
event of an impact.

 If the passenger airbag is
deactivated, the warning lamp in the
instrument panel remains on until the
passenger airbag is reactivated.

Flashing indicates a fault with at least
one of these airbags.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop to have the

system checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Deactivation (check) 

  Airbag fault

  *   According to version.

            Lateral airbags *  and 

curtain airbags *   

The lateral airbags are built into the front seat
backs on the door side.
The deployment of these airbags requires a
serious side impact applied in the side impact 
zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane 
and from the outside of the vehicle towards the 
inside. The lateral airbag inflates between the 
front occupant of the vehicle and the door trim
panel. It therefore limits the risk of injury to the 
chest.
The curtain airbags are built into the headlining.  

  The curtain airbag inflates between the front 
or rear occupant and the windows. It therefore 
limits the risk of head injuries. 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. The airbag is not deployed in the 
event of a front or rear collision.  

Deactivating the 

passenger's airbag

56

Safety

  Front airbags 

 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.
 Smoke as little as possible; 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.  

  Curtain airbags

 Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or the 
roof. This could cause injury to the head when 
the curtain airbag inflates.
 The deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied by a slight emission of harmless
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 some irritation. 
 The detonation noise may result in a slight loss 
of hearing for a short time. 
 Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, injury or slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when the air bag is deployed 
cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inflates 
almost instantly (approximately 30 milliseconds) 
then deflates within the same time discharging
hot gas via the openings provided for this
purpose. 
 This equipment will only operate once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not inflate.   

  Lateral airbags

 Only put approved covers on the seats, these
will not hamper the inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
 Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest or 
arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
 Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.

For the front, lateral and curtain 
airbags to be fully effective, observe 
the following safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. 
Sit in a normal upright position. 
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (child, 
animal, object...). This could hamper the 
operation of the airbags or injure the 
occupants.
 All work on the airbag systems is strictly 
prohibited unless it is carried out by 
qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT
dealer network or a qualified workshop.
 After an accident or if the vehicle has 
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.

Child safety

Child seat in the front  

*    The rules for carrying children are specific to

each country. Refer to the current legislation 
in your country.  

            General points 

relating to child seats 

 Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria 
when designing your vehicle, the safety of your 
children also depends on you.

"Rearwards-facing" 

PEUGEOT recommends  that children should 
travel in the rear seats  of your vehicle:
   -  

 "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,

  -  

 "forwards-facing"  over the age of 2.

"Forwards-facing"

  Intermediate longitudinal

position

For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations: 
-  

in accordance with European 
regulations,  all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and 
a half metres tall must travel in 
approved child seats suited to
their 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,

-  

 a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

 When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat , 
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise,  the child 
would risk being seriously injured or 
killed if the airbag were to inflate
.

 When a "forwards-facing" child seat is installed 
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal 
position with the seat back upright and leave 
the passenger airbag activated.  

58

Child safety

Passenger airbag OFF

  Refer to the advice given on the label present 
on both sides of the passenger's sun visor.  

  To assure the safety of your child, you
must deactivate the passenger's front
airbag when you install a child seat in
the rearwards facing position on the
front passenger's seat. 
 Otherwise, there is a risk that the child
could be seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.

Child safety

Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front 
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are 
already occupied by other children, cannot be 
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *  when a 
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the front 
seat. 
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were 
to inflate.  

 As a safety precaution, do not leave: 
   -  

one or more children alone and 
unsupervised in 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.

 To protect young children from the rays of the 
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Installing a booster seat 

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.

Advice on child seats

The incorrect installation of a child seat 
in a vehicle compromises the child's 
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or 
the child seat harness keeping the
slack 
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum
, even for short journeys.
To install a child seat using the vehicle's 
seat belt, ensure that the belt is well
tightened on the child seat and that it
holds the child seat firmly against the 
vehicle's seat. 
For optimum installation of the "forward 
facing" child seat, ensure that the back 
of the child seat is in contact with the 
back of the vehicle's seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any 
discomfort. 
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
