If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal,
it indicates an electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD) system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Yo u must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
When operating under normal conditions,
the ABS may cause the brake pedal to
vibrate slightly.
In emergency braking, press the brake
pedal hard and maintain this pressure.

Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started. Activation of these systems
is signalled by flashing of this
indicator in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
for the DSC system.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
i s bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, …), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC and TRC systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is recommended that the systems are
reactivated as soon as possible however.

The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened 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 inertia
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 part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking 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.

Advice
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.
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
PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a
PEUGEOT 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
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Instructions 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 case of impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pyrotechnic system may be deployed
before and independent 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 is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.Airbags
Designed to contribute to the safety of the
occupants in case of violent collisions. The
airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a
collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
I
n the event of violent impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and help
better protect occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
-
I
n the event of a slight impact, an impact
at the rear of the vehicle and under certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags may not
deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect
you in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
Safety
57
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a
noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
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.
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
for ward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it indicates
a
malfunction of the airbags. Contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to
have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a
serious impact.
If this is the case, do not install a child seat nor
a llow a passenger to sit in the front passenger seat.
Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
