HAZARD WARNING LAMPS

Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps

When  braking  in  an  emergency,  de-
pending  on  the  deceleration,  the
hazard  warning  lamps  come  on  au-
tomatically.  They  switch  off  automati-

cally the ﬁ rst time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP)

This system is linked and complemen-
tary to the ABS system.

In the event of a signiﬁ cant variation

between  the  trajectory  of  the  vehicle
and  the  path  required  by  the  driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel and
acts  automatically  on  the  engine  and
on the brake of one or more wheels, to
put the vehicle back on course, within
the limit of the laws of physics.

ESP operation

The indicator lamp comes on.

Disarming the ESP

In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  the
vehicle  when  it  is  stuck  in  the  mud,
immobilised  in  snow,  on  unstable
ground...), it may be advisable to dis-
arm the ESP.
      Press  the   "ESP  OFF"   switch,  lo-

cated on the centre console.

the system checked.

Instrument panel indicator light.

The  ESP  offers  exceptional
safety  during  normal  driving,
but this should not encourage
the  driver  to  take  extra  risks

(late braking) or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of the system depends
on  compliance  with  the  manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres  and  rims),  the  braking  compo-
nents,  the  electronic  components  and
the PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After  an  impact,  have  the  system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS)

The  ABS  increases  the  stability  and
manoeuvrability  of  your  vehicle  on
braking,  in  particular  on  poor  or  slip-
pery road surfaces.
This  system  comes  into  operation
automatically  when  there  is  a  risk  of
wheel lock.
Normal  operation  of  the  ABS  may
make  itself  felt  by  slight  vibrations  of
the brake pedal.

This indicates that the ABS is
faulty.

It also comes on on the instru-
ment panel screen.

If  it  comes  on  permanently  above
6  mph  (10  km/h),  it  indicates  an ABS
malfunction.
However,  the  vehicle  retains  conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system enables
the  optimum  braking  pressure  to  be
reached  more  quickly,  thus  reducing
the stopping distance.
It  is  triggered  by  the  speed  at  which
the brake pedal is activated.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance  of  the  pedal  and  an  in-

crease in braking efﬁ ciency.
When braking in an emergency, press

ﬁ rmly without releasing the pressure.

In emergency braking, press

very ﬁ rmly without releas-

ing the pressure.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.

SEAT BELTS

Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts

  When the ignition is switched on , if a
front  passenger  has  not  fastened  their
seat belt and if the vehicle speed is  below
12  mph  (20  km/h) ,  you  are  warned  by
lighting of the  seat belt warning lamp .
The  warning  lamp  switches  off  when
the seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fas-
tened.
If the vehicle speed is  above 12 mph
(20  km/h)

, you are warned by ﬂ ash-

ing of the seat belt warning lamp ,
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen identifying the
unfastened seat belt(s).

Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter

In the event of a serious front impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly

tightens the seat belts ﬁ rmly against

the bodies of the occupants.
The  pre-tensioning  seat  belts  are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of  the  seat  belt  against  the  chest  of
the  occupant,  so  increasing  his  pro-
tection.

Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all ﬁ tted with a

three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force

limiter and may be ﬁ tted with a pre-

tensioning inertia reel.

To fasten the seat belts
 Pull the strap, then insert the

tongue into the buckle.

 Check that the seat belt is secured

correctly by pulling the strap.

To unfasten the seat belts
 Press the red button on the buckle.

Before  folding  the  seat  back,  pull  the
strap  and  insert  the  seat  belt  tongue
into  the  buckle.  This  precaution  will
ensure  that  each  seat  belt  is  in  place
when the rear seats are lifted again.

Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may cause illumination of
the warning lamp.

The  audible  signal  ceases  and  the
warning  lamp  switches  off  when  the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After  two  minutes  without  any  action

on the seat belts, the ﬂ ashing warning

lamp remains on permanently and the
audible signal ceases. All of the warn-
ings cease when a door is opened or
when the engine is switched off.

Front seat belt height adjustment :

 To lower the attachment point,

squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point, slide

control 1 upwards.

SAFETY

      The  driver  must  ensure  that
the  passengers  use  the  seat
belts  correctly  and  that  they
are all properly restrained be-
fore setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehi-
cle, always fasten your seat belt, even
for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulﬁ l 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 ﬁ tted 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 ﬁ tted with an au-

tomatic  locking  device  which  comes
into  operation  in  the  event  of  a  colli-
sion,  on  emergency  braking  or  if  the
vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device  by  pulling  rapidly  on  the  strap
and releasing it.

Recommendations for children:

use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁ fty,

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

never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person,

never allow a child to travel on your
lap.

  Depending  on  the  nature  and  se-
riousness  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  car-
tridge 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.

* According to model.

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 modi-

ﬁ ed to avoid altering its perfor-

mance.

In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations,  all  repairs  and  checks  must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who  guarantees  that  the  work  is  car-
ried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer 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.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS

The  airbags  have  been  designed  to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with  the  exception  of  the  rear  centre
passenger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. They supplement the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
In  this  case,  the  electronic  detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts  suffered  in  the  impact  detec-
tion zones:
   -

in  the  event  of  a  serious  impact,
the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of  the  vehicle  (with  the  exception
of  the  rear  centre  passenger);  im-
mediately after the impact, the air-

bags deﬂ ate rapidly so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,

in  the  event  of  a  minor  impact  or
rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions,  the  airbags  will  not  be
deployed;  the  seat  belt  alone  is

sufﬁ cient to provide maximum pro-

tection in these situations.

Front airbags

The front airbags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.

They are ﬁ tted in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Impact detection zones

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

The deployment of one or
more airbags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due

to  the  activation  of  the  pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This  smoke  is  not  harmful,  but  sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in  a  slight  loss  of  hearing  for  a  short
time.

Activation

They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front airbag is deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.

The front airbag inﬂ ates between the

front  occupant  of  the  vehicle  and  the
dashboard  to  cushion  their  forward
movement.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is off.

This equipment only operates

once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate.

SAFETY

Disarming the front
passenger's front air bag *

Reactivation

As  soon  as  the  child  seat  is  removed,
turn the air bag slot to the  "ON"  position
to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure
its safety function.

To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag 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 inﬂ ate.
 With the ignition switched off ,

insert the key into the passenger air
bag  disarming  switch,  turn  it  to  the
"OFF"  position, then remove the key
keeping the slot in this position.

The knee airbag protects the driver's
knees in the event of a serious front
impact.

It is ﬁ tted in the dashboard below the

steering column.

If  this  warning  lamp  comes  on,  ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen,
contact  a  PEUGEOT  dealer  to  have
the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.

Knee airbag

When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on the
instrument panel for the duration
of disarming.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.

SAFETY

Front/rear * lateral airbags

The  lateral  airbags  protect  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 risks of injury to the chest.

The lateral airbags are ﬁ tted in the

front seat back and in the rear door
armrest * .

Activation

The lateral airbags are deployed inde-
pendently  of  each  other  in  the  event
of  a  serious  side  impact  applied  to
all  or  part  of  the  side  impact  zone   B ,
perpendicular  to  the  longitudinal  cen-
treline  of  the  vehicle  on  a  horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.

The lateral airbag inﬂ ates between

the front or rear occupant of the ve-
hicle and the corresponding door trim
panel.

* According to country.

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

Activation

It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding  side  air  bags  in  the
event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone  B ,
perpendicular  to  the  longitudinal  cen-
treline  of  the  vehicle  on  a  horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.

The curtain airbag inﬂ ates between

the front or rear occupant of the ve-
hicle and the windows.

Impact detection zones

Curtain airbags

The  curtain  airbags  protect  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 risks of injury to the head.

The curtain airbags are ﬁ tted in the

door pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.

lamp.

In the event of a minor impact
or  bump  to  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.

SAFETY

Curtain air bags
Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the

pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain

air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not remove the grab handles

installed  on  the  roof,  they  play
a  part  in  securing  the  curtain  air
bags.

Front air bags

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 fascia.

Smoke as little as possible; deploy-

ment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering

wheel or hit it violently.

For the air bags 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  air  bags
(a  child,  pet,  object...).  This  could
hamper  the  operation  of  the  air
bags or injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked.

All work on the air bag system is

strictly forbidden unless it is carried

out by qualiﬁ ed personnel of the

PEUGEOT network.

Even if all of the precautions men-

tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms, when an air bag is
deployed, cannot be ruled out. The

bag inﬂ ates almost instantly (within

a few milliseconds) then deﬂ ates

within the same time discharging
the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.

* According to country.

Side air bags *

Only put approved covers on the

seats.  These  will  not  hamper  the
deployment  of  the  side  air  bags.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the

seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side

air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
