on-board telematic system.Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Electronic stability control (ESC) comprising
the following systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-

w
heel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction
control,
-
d

ynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
05
Safety

97
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) 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
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC 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.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBD)It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
When lit up continuously, this
warning lamp indicates a
fault with
the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed.
If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, this indicates a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD).
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS system may
be indicated by slight vibration felt at the
brake pedal. In case of emergency braking, press
ver y hard without releasing the
pressure at all.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a
problem with grip or trajectory.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud, etc.), if you are unable to move off, it
may be useful to temporarily deactivate these
systems so that the wheels can spin and allow
the vehicle to regain grip.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked in the
dealer network or by a

qualified workshop as
soon as possible.

Advice
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they are
all fastened before driving.
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 completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to your shape. 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 part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic blocking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly. 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 show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance. 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 on Child seats , refer to
the corresponding section.
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 the dealer network
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly in
the dealer network 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 in the dealer
network.
After folding or moving a
seat or a 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 pyrotechnic device may
be deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pre-tensioners
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 belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
in the dealer network or by a
qualified
workshop.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the child's protection
in the event of an accident.
Ensure 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
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a


child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children 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 passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
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. We recommend using a
booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a


vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, 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 on the rear windows.

before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor or the engine.
Contact the dealer network or a
qualified
workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. Never run the engine in an enclosed
space without sufficient ventilation:
internal combustion engines give out toxic
exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide.
There is a danger of poisoning and
death. In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C) and to ensure
proper operation and longevity of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox, you must let the engine run
