Good practice
the
ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.
operation
It is triggered by the speed at which the


brake pedal is pressed.
the ef

fect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
Switching off
this system cannot be deactivated by the


driver.
operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,


accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking. When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to
do so.
In either case, contact a P
eugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop.

the rear seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
the centre seat has a seat belt guide and


inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
A carrier is provided at each outer seat to
allow the seat belt buckle to be secured
when not in use.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
the seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel


which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle.

belt after unfastening.
ensure that the seat belt has reeled in


correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear

reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
the airbag warning lamp also


comes on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact
Only for the front seats, and depending on
the nature and seriousness of the impact,


the pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation of the
airbags. It instantly tightens the seat belts
against the body of the occupants.
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.
the force limiter reduces the pressure of the


seat belt against the body of the occupants.
the pyrotechnic pretensioners are active


when the ignition is switched on and the
seat belt fastened.
the inertia reels are fitted with a device


which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.

Improved safety and security
Impact resistance
Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.
Anti-theft protection
Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.Details of these functions are given in
the "Ready to set off - Front and rear
doors" section.

Good practice
children at the front
the 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 airbag when a
rearward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed. As a safety precaution, never 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, fit side blinds to the rear windows. 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.
P
eugeOt recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a

seat belt guide at shoulder level.
For the optimum installation of a 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.
the head restraint must be removed before

installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
ensure 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.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-
a rearward facing child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a forward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if


necessary, straighten its backrest as well.
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 the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
