CHILD SAFETY
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident. For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the summary table for the loca-
tion of the ISOFIX child seats.
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
These are three rings for each seat:
- two rings
A , located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion,
indicated by a label,
- a ring B , used to fi x the upper strap,
referred to as the TOP TETHER ,
indicated by a label. This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-
tees you fast, reliable and safe fi tting of
the child seat in your vehicle.
The
ISOFIX child seats are fi tted with
two locks which are secured easily on
the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the ring B .

To attach this strap, remove the vehicle
seat’s head restraint. Then fi x the hook on
the ring B and tighten the upper strap
.

Your vehicle has been approved in accord-
ance with the
new ISOFIX regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

CHILD SAFETY
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat
belts or the child seat harnesses
keeping the slack in relation to
the child’s body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the
"forward facing" child seat, en-
sure that the back of the child
seat is in contact with the back
of the vehicle’s seat and that the
head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be
removed, ensure that it is stored
or attached securely to prevent
it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Children under the age of
10 must not travel in the "for-
ward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear
seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used
or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag
when a "rear facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed
if the air bag were to infl ate. 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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.

SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately on the instrument panel
display.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel display, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lights come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel display, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The warning light comes on for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on (ON position). If it does
not switch off or does not come on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is ac-
tive if the vehicle speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h). It is deactivated when
the vehicle speed falls below 3 mph
(5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

SAFETY
101
The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.

The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures
.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.

 Press the "ASC OFF" button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the "ASC OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates
a malfunction of these
systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the ASC/TCL systems checked.
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing
of this symbol on the instrument panel
display.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).

 Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
in the buckle A .

 Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
 to lower the attachment point, press
the control B and slide the fi xing C
down,

 to raise the attachment point, press
the control B and slide the fi xing C
up.
Unfastening

 Press the red button on the buckle A .
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body
of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, so increasing his protection.
