Safety
5General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all 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.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: 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.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The 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 approved
accessories.
* In accordance with the general conditions of use of the service, available from dealers an\
d subject to technological and technical limitations.
– As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved 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.
–

Any 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 commercial warranty.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you must
without fail 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).

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The electronic stability control programme includes the following systems:
–

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic
brake force distribution (EBFD).
–


Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
–


Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
–


Dynamic stability control (DSC).
–


T
railer stability assist (TSA).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability
and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking.
EBFD manages the braking pressure wheel by
wheel.
This warning lamp comes on fixed in the
event of an ABS malfunction.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
This warning lamp, when lit together with the STOP and ABS warning lamps,
accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The normal operation of the ABS may result in slight vibrations in the brake
pedal.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly and maintain this pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
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 braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) / Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation optimises traction using
engine braking and by applying the brakes on
the driving wheels to avoid wheel spinning. It
also enhances the vehicle's directional stability
while accelerating.
If there is a difference between the vehicle’s
trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the
dynamic stability control system automatically
uses engine braking and the brakes on one or
more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired
path, within the limits of the laws of physics.
These systems are activated automatically every
time the vehicle is started.

Safety
Malfunction
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
If you wish to continue towing a trailer, reduce
your speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The trailer stability assist system offers enhanced safety in normal driving,
provided that the recommendations on towing
a trailer are observed. It should not
encourage the driver to take risks, such as
towing a trailer in adverse operating
conditions (overloading, failure to observe the
trailer nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system, etc.), or to drive
at excessive speeds.
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use).
They come into operation in the event of a grip
or trajectory problem.
This warning lamp on the instrument panel flashes to indicate that they are
operating.
Deactivation / Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
However, it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from 31
mph (50
km/h).
At speeds below 31 mph (50
km/h), the systems
can be reactivated manually.
Press this button or turn the thumbwheel
to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
comes on: the DSC/ASR systems no longer
have an effect on engine operation.
To reactivate the system:
Press this button.
Or
Turn the thumbwheel to this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
an onscreen message and audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but 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.
Correct operation of these systems depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations relating to the wheels
(tyres and rims), braking and electronic
components, as well as the assembly and
repair procedures used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended, to
ensure that these systems remain effective
in winter conditions. All four wheels must be
fitted with tyres approved for the vehicle.
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the
vehicle or trailer snaking.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability control system (ESC)
must not have any faults.
At speeds between 37 and 99 mph (60 and
160
km/h), if the system detects oscillating trailer
movements (snaking), it acts on the brakes to
stabilise the trailer and, if necessary, reduces
engine power to slow the vehicle.
This warning lamp flashes on the instrument panel and the brake lamps
light up to draw attention to this corrective action.
For information on weights and towed loads,
refer to the Engine Technical Data and Towed
Loads section or your vehicle’s registration
certificate
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.

Advanced Grip Control
A special, patented traction control system which improves driveability on snow, mud and sand.
This system, optimised for operation in a range
of conditions, enables you to manoeuvre in most
slippery conditions (encountered during normal
passenger car use). When combined with all-season M+S (Mud and
Snow) tyres, this system offers a compromise
between safety, grip and driveability.
The accelerator pedal should be pressed
sufficiently to allow the system to harness 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 level 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 forward 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.

78
Safety
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the
indicator lamp goes back to grey in the
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70 km/h), the system
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in
the button goes off.
Malfunction
In the event of a system malfunction, this
warning lamp comes on on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an onscreen message.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can deactivate the ASR and DSC systems by turning the knob to the "OFF"
position.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer act on the operation of the engine
or of the brakes in the event of a change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 31 mph (50
km/h) and whenever the
ignition is switched on.
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:
–

crossing 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,
–

driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip,
–


crossing a stream.
Hill Assist Descent
Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on loose or soft surfaces (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: – if the speed of the vehicle is above 43
mph (70
km/h),
–

if the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the

Adaptive Cruise Control,
depending on the type of gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The state of the function 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 when moving at speeds up to approximately
31 mph (50
km/h).




► To select the system, at speeds below
31 mph (50 km/h), press this button until
its indicator lights up; this lamp appears in green
in the instrument panel.
The system becomes active at speeds below 19
mph (30
km/h).
►

When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear ,
the speed decreases and the
indicator
lamp flashes rapidly,
–

if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal
is depressed, the speed decreases and the
indicator

lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the
maintained descent speed is lower.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system and force limiter.
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 pyrotechnic
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening

► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
►

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Two-seat front bench seat

If the vehicle is fitted with a front bench seat,
ensure that each seat belt is used with its correct
buckle.
Do not interchange the driver's seat belt or
buckle with the centre seat belt or buckle.
Rear seat belts

80
Safety
Have the 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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic
pretensioner device may trigger before
and independently of airbag deployment.
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 belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event of violent collisions.

Each rear seat is equipped with a seat belt but
no pyrotechnic pretensioning system or force
limiter.
Take care to insert each seatbelt into its
matching buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the
outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre
seat.
Seat belt(s) warning lamp



With individual front seats
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if a seat belt is not fastened or is
unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the
warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or
passenger fasten their seat belt.
With two-seat front bench seat (and
driver’s seat)
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if the driver’s seat belt is not fastened
or is unfastened.
On switching on the ignition, this warning lamp
comes on if a passenger seat belt is unfastened.
At speeds above approximately 12 mph
(20
km/h), the warning lamp flashes for 2
minutes, accompanied by an audible signal.
Once these 2 minutes have elapsed, the warning
lamp remains on until the driver fastens their
seat belt.
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.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
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.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
–


be used to restrain only one person,
–


not show any signs of cuts or fraying,
–


not be converted or modified in order not to
affect 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 child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
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.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event 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:
–

in the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seat in row 2);
immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
–


in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not
be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes
towards ensuring your protection 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed,
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
