Ð to raise: slide the control upwards. To lock the seat beltsPull the strap, then insert the end into the buckle. Front seat belts with  pre-tensioner and force limiter Safety in the event of front impacts has been improved by the introduc-tion of seat belts with pre-tensionerand force limiter for the front seats.Depending on the seriousness ofthe impact, the pre-tensioning sys-tem instantly tightens the seat beltsand pulls them against the bodies ofthe occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force limiter eases the pressure of the seat belt on the body of theoccupant in the event of an acci-dent. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seat beltsand a lap belt (one-piece rear seat)or with three three-point inertia reelseat belts (two-part rear seat, 1/3 -2/3).
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightenedas close to the body aspossible.
Depending on the nature andseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system may betriggered before and independ-ently of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for tenyears. 
For greater safety, have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealerwithin ten years following the ini-tial purchase of the vehicle.

The normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slightvibrations of the brake pedal.  In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD)increases the stability and manoeu-vrability of your vehicle, particularlyon poor or slippery road surfaces. Note:when replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they are approved.  The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock. 
Lighting of this warninglamp, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Braking fault" on
the multifunction display, indicates amalfunction of the electronic brakeforce distribution which could resultin loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking. 
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Applying When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle. Releasing Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the  STOPwarn-
ing light, accompanied by anaudible signal (at 10 km/h)
and the message  "handbrake on"on
the multifunction display, indicates thatthe handbrake is still applied or has
not been released fully.
EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pres-
sure 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 theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) 
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com- 
plement the ABS. 
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine.  It alsoallows the directional stability of thevehicle to be improved on accelera-tion. If there is a variation betweenthe trajectory followed by the vehicle
and that required by the driver, the
ESP system automatically acts onthe engine and the brake of one ormore wheels, in order to put thevehicle back on course.Disarming the ASR/ESPsystems  In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the  "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect onthe engine operation.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is 
switched off,
 automatically above 50 km/h,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.Operating checkWhen a malfunction of the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on, accompaniedby an audible signal and the
message  "ESP/ASR system not ope-
rational" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive athigh speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and  theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly and ope-ration procedures.   After an impact, have the system 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
