Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each
time the vehicle is star ted.
It comes into operation in the event of a grip or
trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip. The DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the system
depends on obser vation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).

button again to
reactivate it manually.

Safety
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an iner tia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The iner tia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shor ter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be conver ted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
go to a qualified workshop with the skills
and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT
dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
par ticularly 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 reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact
, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
