Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The ESC programme incorporates the following
systems:
-
a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
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 improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during
emergency braking.
EBFD ensures total management of the braking
pressure, wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It triggers according 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.
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.
-
em
ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-
t
raction control (TRC),
- d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed 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.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, it indicates an ABS system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Drive carefully at a
moderate speed and
contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Safety

54
Drive carefully at a moderate speed and
c ontact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for verification of the system.
The TRC and DSC systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver to
take extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of the systems
depends on observing the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding wheels (tyres
and rims), braking system components,
electronic components as well as
assembly and repair procedures used by
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
After an impact, have the systems
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with
a pretensioning and force limiting system.
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 passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fitted with a three-point
sea t belt.

Front seat belt warning lamp(s)
Warning lamp 1 lights in the instrument panel if
t he seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
At speeds above about 12
mph (20 km/h) and
for about 30
seconds, the lit warning lamp is
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the seat belt is still not fastened after this
period, the audible signal changes tone and
remains active for about another 90
seconds.
Rear seat belt warning lamp(s)
Warning lamp 2 and/or 3 lights up in the seat
b elt and front passenger airbag warning lamps
display when one or more rear passengers
unfasten their seat belt.
At speeds above about 12
mph (20 km/h) and
for about 30
seconds, the lit warning lamp is
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the seat belt is still not fastened after this
period, the audible signal changes tone and
remains active for about another 90
seconds.Advice
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.

U:Seat suitable for the installation of
a
child seat secured using a seat belt
and universally approved, rearward
and/or for ward facing, with the front
seat adjusted in the middle longitudinal
position.
U (R): same as U , with the vehicle seat which
must be adjusted in the rearmost
longitudinal position, backrest
straightened.
ISOFIX mountings
The seats shown below are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mounting: There are three anchorages for each seat:
-
t
wo anchorages A
, located between the
backrest and cushion of the vehicle seat,
indicated by a marking,
-
an
anchorage B behind the seat for fixing
the upper strap, referred to as the TOP
TETHER . It is indicated by a
marking.
The TOP TETHER secures the upper strap of
child seats that have them. In case of frontal
impact, this device limits the tilting of the child
seat forward. This ISOFIX
mounting system ensures fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two locks
that are anchored on both anchors A .
Some seats also feature a top tether
that will
be attached to the anchor B .
To secure the child seat using the TOP
TETHER :
-
r
emove and store the head restraint before
installing the child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
-
r
un the strap of the child seat behind the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
holes for the head restraint rods,
- s ecure the clip of the top tether to the
anchorage B ,
-
t
ighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in
a
vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly follow the fitting instructions
provided in the installation guide supplied
with the child seat.
For more information on the options for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,
refer to the summary table.

Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
a "
rear 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.
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
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seats.
Other wise, there is a
risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child 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.
Additional protections
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.
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
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.Child lock
