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 and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.

The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of
trajectory.
Reactivation
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30
mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:
Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the lamp in the deactivation
button, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message, indicate a
fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. F
P
ress this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
DSC/ASR
The DSC and ASR systems offer
increased safety in normal driving, but
they should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of
grip increases. It is therefore important
for your safety to keep the DSC and
ASR systems activated in all conditions,
and particularly in difficult conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding as much the wheels (tyres
and rims), braking and electronic
components as the assembly and repair
procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of the DSC and ASR systems in wintry
conditions, the vehicle must be fitted
with four snow tyres, allowing the the
vehicle to retain neutral handling on the
road.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a

This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending 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 occupant, so
improving their protection.

Airbags
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a
serious front impact to all or part of the front impact
zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the
rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
General information
System designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action of
the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except
the centre rear passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants of the
vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not
hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.System which contributes towards improving the
protection of the the driver and front passenger
in the event of a serious front impact in order to
limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
When switching the ignition on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, to signal that the
passenger's front airbag is activated.
On switching on the ignition, this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and/or in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display. It stays on
until the airbag is reactivated.

Anti-theft protection
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and/or the display of a
message, depending on version.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle,
the label attached to the keys given to
you on acquisition of the vehicle. It has 3 positions:
-
position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the
key,
-
position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-
position 3 (Starting) .
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised for engine
starting to be authorised.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
