headlamp beam height adjustment:

If planning to use your vehicle in a country 

that drives on the other side of the road, the 

dipped beam headlamps must be adjusted to 

avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Consult a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Daytime running lamps/

Sidelamps

These LED lamps at the front of the vehicle light 

up automatically when the engine starts.

They perform the following functions:

–  Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk 

at position 

"AUTO

" with adequate ambient light).

–  Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position 

"

AUTO

" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps 

only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").

In daytime running lamps mode, the 

light-emitting diodes are brighter.

Automatic lighting 

systems - General 

recommendations

The automatic lighting systems use a detection 

camera, located at the top of the windscreen.

Operating limits

The system may be disrupted or not work 

correctly:

–  When visibility conditions are poor 

(e.g. snowfall, heavy rain).

–  If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or 

masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera.

–  If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs 

or safety barrier reflectors.

The system is not able to detect:

–  Road users that do not have their own 

lighting, such as pedestrians.

–  Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling 

behind a safety barrier on the motorway).

–  Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep 

slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

Maintenance

Clean the windscreen regularly, 

particularly the area in front of the camera.

The internal surface of the windscreen can 

also become misted around the camera. 

In humid and cold weather, demist the 

windscreen regularly.

Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 

bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 

obstruct the camera.

This system is a driving aid.

The driver remains responsible for 

the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the 

prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions, 

and for compliance with driving and vehicle 

regulations.

The system becomes operational when 

the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).

When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h), 

the function is no longer operational.

Activation/Deactivation

It is configured in the 

Settings > Vehicle

 

touch screen application.

The state of the system is stored when the 

ignition is switched off.

When the system detects thick fog, it 

temporarily deactivates the function.

Operation

If the ambient light level is very low and traffic 

conditions permit:

–  The main beam headlamps 

come on automatically. These 

indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.

If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the 

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam 

headlamps to be lit:

–  The dipped beam headlamps 

remain lit. These indicator lamps 

light up on the instrument panel.

The function is deactivated if the foglamps 

are switched on or if the system detects poor 

visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain, 

snowfall).

When the foglamps are switched off or when the 

visibility conditions become favourable again, the 

function is automatically reactivated.

This indicator lamp goes out when the 

function is deactivated.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp 

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

►  Switch the headlamps manually between 

dipped and main beam to pause the function.

If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator 

lamps were on, the system changes to main 

beam.

If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps 

were on, the system changes to dipped beam.

►  To reactivate the function, once again switch 

the headlamps manually between dipped and 

main beam.

Malfunction

If a malfunction occurs with the system or 

the camera, this warning lamp lights up

Technology 2.0

For more information, refer to the 

General recommendations for 

automatic lighting systems

.

Available only on versions equipped with Full 

LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.

This system automatically adapts the main 

beam according to the driving conditions, so that 

optimum illumination is maintained for the driver, 

without causing a nuisance to other road users.

74

Lighting and visibility

The driver remains responsible for the 

vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the 

prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions, 

and for compliance with driving and vehicle 

regulations.

The system is active from 25 mph 

(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph 

(20 km/h).

Activation/Deactivation

►  Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in 

the “

AUTO

” position.

This indicator lamp comes on in the 

instrument panel.

It is configured in the 

Settings > Vehicle

 

touch screen application.

The state of the system is stored when the 

ignition is switched off.

When deactivated, the lighting system changes 

to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

It is recommended that you deactivate 

the function in foggy or snowy conditions 

or in case of heavy mist.

The function temporarily is deactivated when 

the system detects thick fog or when the 

foglamps are switched on manually. This is 

signalled by the indicator lamp going off on 

the instrument panel.

Operation

Using a camera, the system detects the driving 

conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or 

followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the 

beams of the main headlamps accordingly.

The modules that make up the main beams 

switch on and off gradually, segment by 

segment, depending on the driving conditions 

detected.

Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon 

as the vehicle is no longer detected by the 

system.

If the system is selected but the display 

on the instrument panel and the alerts are 

not available, the indicator lamp comes on in 

grey.

Followed vehicle

 

 

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only 

those lamp segments directed at the followed 

vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as 

not to dazzle its driver.

Oncoming vehicle

 

 

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only 

those lamp segments directed at this vehicle 

go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the 

duration of the approach. 

Entering an illuminated area

At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a 

town), the lamp segments are gradually switched 

off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to 

switch to the dipped beams.

Exiting an illuminated area

The lamp segments gradually light up from the 

inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the 

main beams.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp 

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

►  Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps 

manually to pause the function.

The lighting system changes to "Automatic 

illumination of lamps" mode.

This is a normal behavior, which does not 

request the support of a qualified workshop.

Stop the vehicle and verify if the front camera is 

covered by dirt, mud, sand, snow, ice or anything 

preventing the sensing.

The system is operational again after the 

detection field has been cleaned.

In the second case, this warning lamp is 

displayed on the instrument panel, 

accompanied by an audible signal and a 

message if a malfunction occurs with the 

adaptive headlamp lighting or the camera.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor 

located at the top centre of the 

windscreen behind the interior rear view 

mirror; the associated functions would no 

longer be controlled.

Wiper control stalk

Before operating the wipers in wintry 

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost 

from the windscreen and around the wiper 

arms and blades.

Do not operate the wipers on a dry 

windscreen. In extremely hot or cold 

weather, check that the wiper blades are not 

stuck to the windscreen before operating the 

wipers.

After using an automatic car wash, you 

may temporarily notice abnormal noises 

and poorer wiping performance.  You do not 

need to replace the wiper blades.

automatically reduced when the speed of 

the vehicle drops below 3 mph (5 km/h).

When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h) 

again, the wiping frequency returns to the 

original frequency (fast or normal).

Single wipe

If the wiper control stalk is:

►  In the 

INT

 or 

AUTO

 position, pull the stalk 

briefly towards you then release it.

►  In the 

0

 position, press briefly on the stalk 

then release it.

Pressing and holding triggers continuous wiping 

at the normal wiping speed.

Windscreen wash

►  Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and 

hold.

A final wiping cycle is performed when 

screenwashing ends.

The windscreen wash jets are 

incorporated into the tip of each wiper 

arm.

An additional jet is installed below the 

midpoint of the arm on the driver's side.

Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length 

of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and 

reduces screenwash fluid consumption.

With automatic air conditioning, any 

action on the screenwash control results 

in temporary closure of the air intake to 

protect the passenger compartment from any 

odour.

To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do 

not operate the screenwash if the 

screenwash reservoir is empty.

Only operate the screenwash if there is no 

risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen 

and hindering visibility. During the winter 

period, use "very cold climate" rated products.

Never top up with water.

Intermittent wiping 

Screenwash-wipe 

If the ignition has been switched off with 

the rear wiper active, operate the ring to 

reactivate wiping when the ignition is switched 

on again (unless the ignition was off for less 

than 1 minute).

The first rotation of the ring to the screenwash 

position triggers a single wipe. If the ring is 

then left in the intermittent wiping position, the 

rear wiper adopts a wiping speed dependent 

on that of the windscreen wipers and the 

speed of the vehicle.

Reverse

When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper 

will come into operation automatically if the front 

windscreen wipers are operating.

It is configured in the 

Settings > Vehicle

 

touch screen application.

clicking on this button in the right side menu of 

the touch screen.

Front intermittent wiping

In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the 

wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the 

5 available positions.

 

 

The first (upper) position corresponds to the 

longest time interval between 2 wipes for light 

rain.

The last (lower) position corresponds to the 

shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy 

rain.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a 

lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.

After the ignition has been switched off 

for more than 1 minute with the wiper 

control stalk in the 

INT

1

 or 

2

 position, when 

the ignition is switched on again:

–  the system works as soon as the vehicle 

exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside 

temperature is below +3°C.

–  the system works immediately, if the 

outside temperature is above +3°C.

Automatic windscreen 

wipers

In 

AUTO

 mode, the front wipers work 

automatically and adapt to the intensity of 

precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the 

sensor selected.

The rainfall detection function uses a rain/

sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the 

windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.

In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog, 

frost, snow, projections on salty roads), 

the driver may have to return to manual 

wiping.

Switching on/off

To switch on:

►  Put the wiper control stalk in the 

AUTO

 

position.

►  Turn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the 

sensor.

A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of 

a message, confirms that the request has been 

taken into account.

►  To switch off, put the wiper control stalk in 

another position or in the 

0

 position.

Adjusting the sensitivity

 

 

The first position (upper) corresponds to the 

lowest sensitivity of the sensor.

The last position (lower) corresponds to the 

highest sensitivity of the sensor.

The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system 

reacts and increases the wiping frequency.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a 

lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.

After the ignition has been switched off 

for more than 1 minute with the wiper 

control stalk in the 

AUTO

 position, when the 

ignition is switched on again:

–  the system works, depending on the 

volume of rain detected, as soon as the 

vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the 

outside temperature is below +3°C.

–  the system works immediately, depending 

on the volume of rain detected, if the outside 

temperature is above +3°C.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.

When using an automatic car wash, 

switch off the automatic wipers and the 

ignition.

78

Lighting and visibility

In winter, wait until the windscreen is 

completely clear of ice before activating the 

automatic wipers.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the 

wipers operate in intermittent mode.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Special position of the 

windscreen wipers

This maintenance position is used while cleaning 

or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be 

useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release 

the wiper blades from the windscreen.

To maintain the effectiveness of the flat 

wiper blades, it is advisable to:

–  handle them with care.

–  clean them regularly using soapy water.

–  avoid using them to hold cardboard on the 

windscreen.

–  replace them at the first signs of wear.

Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

 

 

Operating the wiper control stalk immediately 

after switching off the ignition will place the wiper 

blades in a vertical position.

►  Proceed with the desired operation or the 

replacement of the wiper blades.

After refitting a windscreen wiper blade

►  To return the wiper blades to their initial 

position after the operation, switch on the ignition 

and operate the wiper control stalk.

Changing a wiper blade

Removing/Refitting at the front

 

 

►  Carry out these wiper blade replacement 

operations from the driver's side.

►  Starting with the wiper blade farthest from 

you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise 

it as far as possible.

Take care not to hold the arms at the jet 

locations.

Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of

Event Data Recording 

system

(Depending on country of sale)

This vehicle is fitted with an accident data 

recording system, also called Event Data 

Recorder (EDR).

This system gathers and records certain vehicle 

data over a short period (a few seconds) before, 

during and after an event such as an accident or 

collision.

In order to gain a better understanding of the 

circumstances surrounding the event, this 

system records how the vehicle’s various 

systems are operating at the time of the event, 

including:

–  Any deployment of a restraint system 

(e.g. airbag, seat belt).

–  The status of the seat belts of all the 

occupants (fastened/unfastened).

–  The contact or intensity of pressure exerted on 

the pedal(s) engaged by the driver.

–  The speed of the vehicle.

–  The status of some driving and manoeuvring 

aids systems.

The following are not recorded by the system:

–  Data on normal driving conditions, in other 

words data not directly related to the event.

–  Personal data on the driver and any other 

occupants.

–  The geographical location of the vehicle at the 

time of the event.

The reading of data recorded by the system 

requires the following:

–  Access to the interior of the vehicle or to the 

system.

And

–  Special equipment that can be purchased from

Safety

Electronic stability control 

(ESC)

The electronic stability control programme 

includes the following systems:

–  Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic 

brake force distribution (EBFD).

–  Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

–  Post Collision Safety Brake (PCSB).

–  Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

–  Dynamic stability control (DSC).

–  Trailer stability assist (TSA).

Anti-lock braking system 

(ABS)/Electronic brake force 

distribution (EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability 

and handling during braking, and enable greater 

control while cornering, particularly on poor or 

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of 

emergency braking.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) 

manages overall braking pressure on each 

individual wheel.

► 

When braking in an emergency, depress 

the pedal very firmly and maintain this 

pressure.

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.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive 

carefully at a moderate speed.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

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.

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.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims), 

ensure that these are approved for your 

vehicle.

After an impact

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 

or a qualified workshop.

Emergency braking 

assistance (EBA)

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.

Post Collision Safety Brake 

(PCSB)

If an accident is detected, the vehicle initiates 

automatic post collision braking. The goal of this 

system is to reduce the risk of further collisions if 

the driver does not react.

The system is not operational if the capability of 

the vehicle to trigger and execute the automatic 

post collision 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 brake pedal or accelerator pedal.

Operating conditions

The system operates, if the following conditions 

are met:

–  Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners 

have been deployed by the collision.

–  Braking systems and electric functions remain 

continuously operational during and after 

collision.

–  Driver has not depressed the brake or 

accelerator pedal.

Malfunction

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.

85

Safety

5

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/

Dynamic stability control 

(DSC)

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.

These systems are activated automatically every 

time the vehicle is started.

These systems are activated in the event 

of a problem with grip or trajectory 

(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the 

instrument panel).

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.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of 

grip permits.

The ASR system is deactivated/

reactivated in the 

ADAS

 touch screen 

application.

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.

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

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.

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.

All tyre specifications are listed on the 

tyre/paint label. For more information 

on 

Identification markings

, refer to the 

corresponding section.

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.

The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99 

mph (60 and 160 km/h).

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).

86

Safety

For more information on weights and towed 

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

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights 

up on the instrument panel, accompanied 

by a message and an audible signal.

To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and 

drive carefully!

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 

qualified workshop.

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.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

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.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 

enabled when the ignition is on.

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.

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.

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 

pretensioning system and a progressive force 

limiting system.

Rear seat belts

 

 

Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt 

with inertia reel.

The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic 

pretensioning and force limiting system.

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers 

use the seat belts correctly and that they 

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must 

always fasten the seat belt, even for short 

journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they 

will not fulfil their role properly.

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt 

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign 

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt 

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 

and reeled in correctly.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be 

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the 

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the 

seat belt may require the seat height to be 

adjusted.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

88

Safety

–  be tightened as close to the body as 

possible.

–  be pulled in front of you with a smooth 

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

–  only be used to secure one person.

–  not show signs of tearing or fraying.

–  not be changed or modified, in order to 

avoid affecting its performance.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger 

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 

metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more 

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on 

Child seats

, refer to 

the corresponding section.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety 

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's 

seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with 

the skills and equipment needed, which a 

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the 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.

Airbags

General information

This system is designed to improve the safety 

of the occupants of the front seats and the rear 

outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The 

airbags supplement the action of the seat belts 

equipped with a force limiting system.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the 

front and side impacts sustained in the impact 

detection zones:

–  In the event of violent impact, the airbags 

deploy instantly and help better protect the 

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the 

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not 

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the 

occupants.

–  In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact 

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags 

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to 

protect you in these situations.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the 

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the 

vehicle at the moment of collision.

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.

Impact detection zones

A.

Front impact zone

B.

Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed, 

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge 

incorporated in the system makes a noise and 

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the 

deployment of one or more airbags may result 

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

89

Safety

Front airbags

 

 

This system protects the driver and front 

passenger in the event of a serious front impact, 

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is 

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front 

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the 

event of a violent front impact applied to all or 

part of front impact zone 

A

.

The front airbag inflates between the chest and 

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and 

the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the 

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion 

their forward movement.

* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

Lateral airbags

 

 

This system protects the driver and front 

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

.

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of 

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding 

door panel.

Curtain airbags

This system helps provide greater protection for 

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.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and 

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding 

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side 

impact applied to all or part of the side impact 

zone

the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT 

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the 

system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of 

a serious impact.

90

Safety

In the event of a minor impact or bump at 

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle 

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of 

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective, 

observe the safety recommendations 

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants 

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do 

not fix or attach anything near or in the path of 

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when 

they are deployed.

Never modify the original definition of the 

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around 

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are 

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to 

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out 

when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates 

almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) 

then deflates within the same time, 

discharging the hot gas via openings provided 

for this purpose.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been 

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

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.

Do not smoke as 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.

Do not fix or attach anything to the steering 

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause 

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers 

compatible with the deployment of these 

airbags. For information on the range of seat 

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a 

PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause 

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is 

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side 

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or 

incorrectly executed work (modification or 

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 

could compromise the operation of these 

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral 

airbags!

All work must be carried out only by a 

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof, 

as this could cause head injuries when the 

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on 

the roof.

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are 

specific to each country. Refer to the 

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the 

following recommendations:

–  In accordance with European regulations, 

all children under the age of 12 or less than 

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child 

seats suited to their size or 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.

– 

Children ageing less than 15 months must 

travel in the "rearward facing" position, 

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

91

Safety

5

It is recommended

 that children travel 

on the 

rear seats

 of the vehicle:

– "

rearward facing

" up to the age of 3.

– "

forward facing

" over the age of 3.

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 

the support leg is in firm and steady contact 

with the floor.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a 

vehicle compromises the child's safety in 

the event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 

buckle under the child seat, as this could 

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the 

child seat harness keeping the slack relative 

to the child's body to a minimum, even for 

short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat 

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened 

correctly on the child seat and that it secures 

the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If 

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it 

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint before 

installing a child seat with a backrest on a 

passenger seat.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or 

attached securely to prevent it from being 

thrown around the vehicle in the event of 

sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once 

the child seat has been removed.

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.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped 

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the 

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by 

more than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays, 

fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

–  A child alone and unsupervised inside 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.

Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing

 

 

 

 

►  Move the vehicle's front seat forward and 

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the 

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing 

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front 

seat.

►  Check that the backrest of the forward-facing 

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest 

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact 

with it.

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be 

installed on the 

centre rear passenger seat

.

92

Safety

Child seat at the front

 

 

►  Adjust the front passenger seat to the 

highest

 and 

fully back longitudinal position

with the backrest straightened

.

"Forward facing"

 

 

You must leave the front passenger 

airbag active.

"Rearward facing"

 

 

The front passenger airbag must be 

deactivated before installing a rearward 

facing child seat. Otherwise, 

the child risks 

being seriously injured or killed if the 

airbag is deployed

.

 

 

Warning label - Front passenger airbag

 

 

You must comply with the following instruction, 

as reminded by the warning label on both sides 

of the passenger sun visor:

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint 

on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in 

front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the 

CHILD can occur.

Deactivating the front 

passenger airbag

 

 

Passenger airbag OFF

To ensure the safety of the child, the front 

passenger airbag MUST be deactivated 

when a "rearward facing" child seat is 

installed on the front passenger seat. 

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously 

injured or killed in the event of deployment of 

the airbag.

Vehicles not equipped with a 

deactivation/reactivation control

Installing a "rearward facing" child seat on 

the front passenger seat is strictly prohibited 

- risk of death or serious injury in the event of 

airbag deployment!

Deactivating/Reactivating the front 

passenger airbag

For vehicles on which it is fitted, the switch is 

located on the side of the dashboard.

"ISOFIX" mountings

The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX 

compliant mountings:

 

 

The mountings comprise three rings for each 

seat, indicated by a marking:

–  Two rings 

A

, located between the vehicle seat 

backrest and cushion.

 

 

These rings are located behind zips.

The 2 latches on 

ISOFIX child seats

 are 

secured to them.

–  One ring 

B

, located behind the seat, called the 

TOP TETHER

, for attaching seats fitted with an 

upper strap.

 

 

This system prevents the child seat from tipping 

forwards in the event of a front impact.

This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, 

reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the 

vehicle.

To secure the child seat to the 

TOP TETHER

:

►  Remove and stow the head restraint before 

installing the child seat on this seat (refit it once 

the child seat has been removed).

►  Pass the strap of the child seat behind the 

seat backrest, centring it between the openings 

for the head restraint rods.

►  Secure the upper strap hook to ring 

B

.

►  Tighten the upper strap.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the 

left-hand rear seat of the bench seat, 

before fitting the seat, first move the centre 

rear seat belt towards the middle of the 

vehicle, so as to avoid the seat interfering 

with the operation of the seat belt.

94

Safety

An incorrectly installed child seat in a 

vehicle compromises the child's safety in 

the event of an accident.

Strictly observe the fitting instructions 

provided in the user guide supplied with the 

child seat.

For information about the options for 

fitting ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle, 

refer to the summary table.

i-Size child seats

i-Size child seats have two latches that are 

anchored to the two rings 

A

.

These i-Size child seats also have:

–  either an upper strap that is attached to ring 

B

.

–  or a support leg that rests on the vehicle 

floor, compatible with the approved i-Size seat 

position.

Their role is to prevent the child seat from tipping 

forward in the event of a collision.

For more information on the 

ISOFIX mountings

refer to the corresponding section.
