General safety
recommendations
Labels are attached in different places on
your vehicle. They include safety warnings
as well as identification information for
your vehicle. Do not remove them: they
are an integral part of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required,
all of which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide. We draw your attention to the following
points:
-
T
he fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by
PEUGEOT may cause excessive
current consumption and faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range of
recommended accessories.
-
A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for the
vehicle's electronic systems, is
reser ved strictly for PEUGEOT dealers
or qualified workshops, equipped
with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's
electronic systems that could cause
breakdowns or serious accidents).
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible if this advice is not
followed.
-
A
ny modification or adaptation not
intended or authorised by PEUGEOT
or carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined by
the manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the legal and contractual
warranties. Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a
radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for the specification of transmitters
which can be fitted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).
Depending on country regulations, some
safety equipment may be compulsory:
high visibility safety vests, warning
triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit,
mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Safety
127
ASR/DSC
These 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, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation 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.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.Trailer stability assist
When towing, this system reduces the risk of
the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control (ESC) must not
have any faults.
Between 37 and 99 mph (60 and 160 km/h), if
the system detects oscillations (snaking) in the
movement of the trailer, it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow down the vehicle.
The correction is signalled by the
flashing of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and illumination of
the brake lamps.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when To w i n g
a
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
Should a fault occur with the system,
t his warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a
message and an
audible signal.
The trailer stability assist system offers
increased safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on
towing a
trailer are obser ved. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such
as towing a
trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to obser ve
the trailer nose weight, worn or under-
inflated tyres, faulty braking system, etc.)
or drive at too high a
speed.
In certain cases, oscillation of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a
light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden snaking of the trailer.
If you continue to tow a
trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Advanced Grip Control
Special patented traction control system which
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been
optimised for each situation, allows you to
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip
(encountered during touring use).
Associated with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, adhesion and traction.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to
choose the setting best suited to the driving
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode
comes on, accompanied by the display of
a
message to confirm your choice.
Operating modes
Standard (ESC)
This mode is calibrated for a low
l evel of wheel spin, based on the
different levels of grip normally
encountered on the road.
Every time the ignition is switched off, the
system automatically resets to this mode.
Snow
This mode adapts its strategy to
the conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two front wheels on
moving off.
(mode active up to 50
mph
(80
km/h))
All terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
This mode, when moving off,
allows considerable spin on
the wheel with the least grip to
optimise clearing of the mud
and to regain grip. At the same
time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a
way
as to transmit as much torque as
possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 31
mph (50 km/h))
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. F
P
lace the knob in this position.
Safety
129
You can deactivate the ASR
and DSC systems by turning
the knob to the "OFF" position.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
act on the engine operation or the brakes
in the event of an involuntary change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31
mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft sur faces (gravel,
mud, etc.) or a
steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle when descending,
whether going forward or in reverse.
During a
descent, it assists the driver in
maintaining a
constant speed, depending
on the gear engaged, while progressively
releasing the brakes.
For the system to activate, the slope must
be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox
in neutral.
Otherwise engage a
gear corresponding
to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
can be used with the selector at N , D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated. The system is not available:
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is above
43 mph (70 km/h),
- i f the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the Adaptive cruise
control with Stop function, depending
on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The system's status is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when
the engine is running, when the vehicle is
stationary or moving at speeds up to approx.
31
mph (50 km/h).

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. 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. 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 the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic pretensioner
device may be deployed before and
independently 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 comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked and, if necessary, replaced,
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

that the front airbag is activated.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a
serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a
serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
severe side impact
to minimise the risk of injury to the chest,
between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
