HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Automatic lighting of hazard warning lights*
When braking in an emergency, de-pending on the deceleration, the haz-ard warning lights come on automati-cally. They switch off automatically the first time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by pressing the button.
* According to country.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
This system is linked and complemen-tary to the ABS system.
In the event of a significant 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 light 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 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 de-pends on compliance with the manu-facturer’s recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the brak-ing components, the electronic com-ponents 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 manoevrability 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 comes on on the instrument panel screen also.
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.
Contact 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 re-sistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing 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 his seat belt and if the vehicle speed is below 13 mph (20 km/h), you are warned by lighting of the seat belt warning light.
The warning light switches off when the seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph (20 km/h), you are warned by flashing of the seat belt warning light, an audible signal and a message on the multifunction display locating 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 firmly 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 protection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all fitted with a three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force limiter and may be fitted 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 trigger the lighting of the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the warning light switches off when the seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action on the seat belts, the flashing warning light remains on permanently and the audible signal ceases.
All of the warnings 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.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
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 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 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, 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 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. 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 air bag warning light 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 modified to avoid altering its performance.
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.
