ANTI-LOCK BRAKING

SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE

DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

The ABS, in conjunction with the

electronic brake force distribution,

increases

the

stability

and

manoeuvrability of your vehicle on

braking, in particular on poor or

slippery road surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres

and rims), make sure that these are

approved.

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when

there is a risk of wheel lock.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system enables

the optimum braking pressure to be

reached more quickly, thus reducing

the stopping distance.

It is triggered by the speed at which

the brake pedal is activated. The

effect of this is a reduction in the

resistance of the pedal and an

increase in braking efficiency.

In the event of emergency braking,

depending on the force of the

deceleration, the hazard warning

lights are switched on automatically.

They are switched off automatically

on acceleration.

When this warning light

comes on, accompanied by

a buzzer and a message,

it indicates that there is a

malfunction of the ABS, which can

cause a loss of control of the vehicle

when braking.

When this warning light

comes on, connected to

the

STOP

warning light,

accompanied by a buzzer

and a message, it indicates that there

is a malfunction of the electronic

brake force distribution, which can

cause a loss of control of the vehicle

when braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a Peugeot

dealer.

Normal operation of the ABS may

make itself felt by slight vibrations

of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press

very firmly without releasing the

pressure.

Automatic lighting of hazard

warning lights*

When braking in an emergency,

depending on the deceleration,

the hazard warning lights come

on automatically. They switch off

automatically the first time you

accelerate.

It is also possible to switch them off

by pressing the button.

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

Press the button, the direction

indicators flash.

They can operate with the ignition

off.

* According to country.

82 - Safety

01-01-2006

Operating check

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)

AND DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and

complement the ABS.

The ASR system optimises drive

to prevent the wheels skidding, by

acting on the brakes of the drive

wheels and on the engine. It also

allows the directional stability of

the vehicle to be improved on

acceleration.

If there is a variation between the

trajectory followed by the vehicle and

that required by the driver, the ESP

system automatically acts on the

engine and the brake of one or more

wheels, in order to put the vehicle

back on course, within the limits of

the laws of physics.

The warning light flashes if

the ASR or ESP is activated.

The switch lights up and

the warning light comes on,

accompanied by a message

on the multifunction display :

the ASR and ESP systems are

disarmed.

Operation of the ASR and ESP

systems

Disarming the ASR/ESP systems

In exceptional conditions (starting a

vehicle which is bogged down, stuck

in snow, on soft ground), it may be

advisable to disarm the ASR and

ESP systems, so that the wheels can

move freely and regain grip.


Press the

"ESP OFF" switch,

located under the steering wheel

to the left.

These are triggered again:


automatically if the ignition is

switched off,



manually by pressing the switch

again.

When a malfunction of the

systems occurs, the switch

light flashes and the warning

light comes on.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the systems checked.

The ASR/ESP 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

functioning

of

these systems depends on

observation of the manufacturer's

recommendations

regarding

wheels (tyres and rims), the

braking components and the

electronic

components

and

the PEUGEOT assembly and

operation procedures.

After an impact, have these

systems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in

the fascia for the front passenger.

They are deployed simultaneously,

except in cases where the air bag is

disarmed.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of serious collisions; they

work in conjunction with the force

limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision,

the electronic detectors record and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle: if the triggering threshold

is reached, the air bags inflate

instantly and protect the occupants

of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the

air bags deflate rapidly, so that they

do not hinder the visibility of the

occupants nor their possible exit

from the vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in

collisions which are not serious, for

which the seat belt is sufficient to

provide maximum protection. The

seriousness of the collision depends

on the nature of the obstacle and the

speed of the vehicle at the moment

of impact.

Air bags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

If this warning light comes

on, accompanied by a

buzzer and a message on

the multifunction display,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

Front air bag malfunction

Disarming the passenger

air bag*

To ensure the safety of your child, it

is essential to disarm the passenger

air bag when you install a rear-facing

child seat on the front passenger

seat. Otherwise, the child would risk

being killed or seriously injured if the

air bag were to inflate.


With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger

air bag disarming switch

1, turn

it to the

"OFF" position, then

remove the key keeping the slot

in this position.

The air bag warning light

on the instrument panel is

lit throughout the period of

disarming.

* According to country.

84 - Safety

01-01-2006

In the

"OFF" position, the passenger

air bag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed,

turn the air bag slot to the

"ON"

position to re-activate the air bag

and thus ensure the safety of your

passenger in the event of an impact.

SIDE AIRBAGS *

These are incorporated into the

frame of the front seat back, on the

door side.

They are deployed independently

of each other depending on which

side the collision occurs, in collisions

which could cause injury to the chest,

the abdomen or the head.

This is confirmed by an indicator light

on the instrument panel.

It comes on for six seconds, each

time the ignition is switched on.

With the ignition on (2nd

notch), illumination of this

warning light accompanied

by a message on the

multifunction display, indicates that

the passenger air bag is disarmed

(switch in the

"OFF" position).

If the two air bag warning

lights are lit continuously,

do not install a rear-facing

child seat. Contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.
