electronic stability control (eS C)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
these systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards better control in
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
th
e ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
th
e electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed.
t
h
is is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
this system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

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.
th
e seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size.
t
h
e seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
th
e lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
th
e upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
th
e inertia 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 the strap firmly and
then 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 shorter 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.
For more information, refer to the "Child
seats" section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-
b
e used to restrain only one person,
-
n
ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
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 cartridge
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 P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
Pe
ugeOt d
ealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.

the incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat as this could
destabilise it.
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 the installation of a child seat using a
seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on the child seat and that it is holding the
child seat firmly against the seat of your
vehicle. If your front passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest.
Recommendations on child seats
the chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
en
sure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
e

recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, never leave:
-
o
ne or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
to p
revent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child lock".
ta
ke care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
to p
rotect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
th
e legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were deployed. For optimum installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, ensure that the back of the child
seat is as close as possible to the backrest of
the vehicle's seat, or in contact if possible.
th
e head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
en
sure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.
