Anti-lock braking system

(ABS) and 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.

EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by

wheel.

Emergency braking

assistance (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables you

to reach the optimum braking pressure more

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping

distance.

It is triggered in relation 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 braking eﬃciency.

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).

– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

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 as soon as it is safe to do so.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)

/ Dynamic stability control

(DSC)

Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using

engine braking and by applying the brakes on

the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It

also enhances the vehicle's directional stability

while accelerating.

– Dynamic stability control (DSC).

– Trailer stability assist (TSA).

The normal operation of the ABS may

result in slight vibrations in the brake

pedal.

If there is a diﬀerence between the vehicle’s

trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the

Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if

the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the

movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to

stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces

engine power to slow down the vehicle.

This warning lamp ﬂashes in the

instrument panel and the brake lamps

light up to draw attention to this corrective action.

For information on towed loads and masses,

refer to the Technical data section or your

vehicle’s registration certiﬁcate

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 used by PEUGEOT

dealers.

The use of snow tyres is recommended, to

ensure that these systems remain eﬀective

in winter conditions. All four wheels must be

ﬁtted with tyres approved for the vehicle.

Deactivation / Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle stuck

in mud, immobilised in snow, on soft ground,

etc.), it may be useful to deactivate the ASR

system to freely spin the wheels and regain

traction.

To ensure complete safety while driving with

a Towing device, refer to the corresponding

section.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of

grip permits.

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving

their protection.

Rear seat belts

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.

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.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel

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

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

with inertia reel.

The outer seats are ﬁtted, depending on the

version, with a pyrotechnic pretensioning and

force limiting system.

Fastening

► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the

buckle.

Impact detection zones

Front airbags

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.

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 system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

in order to limit the risk of head and chest

injuries.

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.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight 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.

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.

The front airbags are adaptive. In

particular, they inﬂate less ﬁrmly in the

presence of a smaller occupant, with the seat

set in a forward longitudinal position.

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.

Deployment

They deploy, except the front passenger airbag

if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front

impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.

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

Safety

ﬁx or attach anything close to or in the way of

the airbag release trajectory; this could cause

injuries during their deployment.

Never modify the original deﬁnition of your

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work on the airbag systems must only

be performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

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

airbag inﬂates almost instantly (within a few

milliseconds) then deﬂates within the same

time discharging the hot gas via openings

provided for this purpose.

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.

Deployment

5

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 B.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact

to mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between Malfunction

the hip and the shoulder.

If this warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel, you must 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.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁtted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

Deployment

They are deployed on one side in the event of a

serious side impact applied to all or part of the

side impact zone B.

The lateral airbag inﬂates between the hip and

shoulder of the vehicle's occupant and the

corresponding door trim panel.

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.

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.

Curtain airbags

System contributing towards 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.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully eﬀective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal upright sitting position.

Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly

positioned and adjusted.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Do not leave anything between the occupants

and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor

73

Safety

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as they play a part in securing the

curtain airbags.

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.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,

compatible with the deployment of the lateral

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 (clothes, etc.), as this could cause

injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral

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!

Child seats

Advice

The regulations on carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

An incorrectly installed child seat

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

harness of child seats, 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 seat of the vehicle.

If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations, all

children under the age of 12 or less than 4

ft 11” (150 cm) 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.

– Children weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in

the front or rear of the vehicle.

Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

It is recommended that children travel

on the rear seats of the vehicle:

– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,

– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.

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.

Curtain airbags

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Rear seats

This system prevents the child seat from tipping

reliable and safe ﬁtting of the child seat in the

vehicle.

The 2 latches of ISOFIX child seats are secured

to them.

– One ring B, located behind the seat, called

the TOP TETHER, for ﬁxing seats ﬁtted with an

upper strap.

“ISOFIX" mountings

The seats shown below are ﬁtted with ISOFIX

compliant mountings:

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 upper strap of the child seat behind

the seat backrest, between 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.

seat, indicated by a marking:

– Two rings A, located between the vehicle seat

backrest and cushion.
