TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive 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 tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.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 can
move freely and regain grip.

Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the central section of the
fascia. Operating check
The ESP/ASR systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

- On the left-hand side: in the 3-seat configuration in the 2nd row, use
the strap guide for people of a short
stature only.
- On the right-hand side: in the re- aligned side seats configuration, do
not use the strap guide.
Pre-tensioning and force-limiting
seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning and force-lim-
iting seat belts. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts firmly against the body
of the occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
occupant’s body in the event of an
accident. The 2nd row rear centre seat has a
three-point inertia reel seat belt in-
corporated in the centre of the roof.
Pass buckle
A, then buckle B, into
the strap guide working from the in-
side to the outside of the seat.
Insert buckle A into its stalk (right),
then buckle B into its stalk (left).
To remove the seat belt, proceed in
the reverse order, then move buck-
le B to the magnet of the roof fixing
point. The 3rd row rear seats are fitted
with two three-point inertia reel seat
belts.
To put on the seat belt, insert buckle
C
then buckle D into their respective
stalks.
To remove the seat belt, proceed in
the reverse order, then move buckle
D to the location E provided.

Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for short
journeys.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 guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly, or if the straps show signs of
damage, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
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.
* According to model.
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 in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up 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 au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion or emergency braking. 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 fifty,
- 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.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIR BAGS
The air bags 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.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and ana-
lyse any abrupt deceleration of the
vehicle: if the triggering threshold is
reached, the air bags inflate instantly
and protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed.
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger 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 inflate.
