SAFETY

The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional 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 recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
repair and assembly procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Deactivation

In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, located

on the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come on,
this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.

On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP

200 hp engine, this action also deactivates
emergency brake assistance and the auto-
matic operation of hazard warning lamps.

Reactivation

These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h) (ex-
cept in the case of the 1.6 litre THP
200 hp petrol engine).
 Press the "ESP OFF" button again

to reactivate them manually.

On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 THP 200 hp

engine, this action also reactivates emer-
gency brake assistance and the automatic
operation of hazard warning lamps.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message in the multifunction
screen, this indicates a malfunction
of these systems.

Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation

These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and

electronic stability programme

(ESP)

They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

This is indicated by fl ashing of

this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

SAFETY

ROLL-OVER BARS

System which protects all of the oc-
cupants restrained by their seat belt
should the vehicle roll over.
The roll-over bars are incorporated in
the back of the rear bench seat. Their
presence is indicated by the words
"Rollover Protection".

Activation

They

are

triggered

simultaneously

should the vehicle roll over.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the
multifunction screen, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.

In order to guarantee the correct
operation and the deployment of
the roll-over bars if roll-over is de-
tected, the following conditions
must be complied with:
-

no accessory which is not
recommended by PEUGEOT
should be in contact with or

fi xed to the roll-over bars,

-

no object should block or stop the
movement of the roll-over bars,

-

the area above the roll-over bars
should be clear of any objects.

The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-

tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact.
Depending on the severity of the im-
pact, 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 chest of the occupant,
so improving their protection.

SAFETY

The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulfi l their role fully.

The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia

reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored 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 are fi tted with an au-

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle rolls over. You can release the

device by pulling fi rmly on the strap

and releasing it so that it re-winds
slightly.

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 bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modifi ed to

avoid affecting its performance.

In accordance with current safety regu-
lations, all repairs and checks must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer who
guarantees that the work is carried out
correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and 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 pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
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 neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection
zones:
-

in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantane-
ously and protect the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so

that they do not hinder the visibility
of the occupants or their possible exit
from the vehicle,

-

in the event of a minor impact or
rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is suf-

fi cient to provide maximum protec-

tion in these situations.

The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Front airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre

of the steering wheel; the front passen-

ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard

above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is de-
activated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact 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 infl ates between the tho-

rax 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 forward movement.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.

SAFETY

If at least one of the two airbag
warning lamps come on continu-
ously, do not install a child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction

screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.

Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON" position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for

approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger's front airbag is activated.

To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.

According to version, this warning
lamp comes on either in the instru-
ment panel or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning

lamps display when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.

If this warning lamp fl ashes,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The passenger's front airbag
may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
 with the ignition off , insert the key

in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,
 then, remove the key keeping the

switch in the new position.

SAFETY

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the pelvis, chest and head.
The lateral airbags are fi tted on the door

side:
-

in the front seat back frame (chest-
pelvis airbag),

-

in the front head restraint (head
airbag).

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally
in the event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone B , per-
pendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.
The lateral airbags infl ate between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

Operating fault

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

If this warning lamp on the in-
strument panel comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message in the multi-

function screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.

In the event of a light impact or
bump to the side of the vehicle of
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags
may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbags are not deployed.

107

SAFETY

For the airbags to be fully

effective, observe the following

safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by

qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT

dealer network.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when
an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled

out. The bag infl ates almost instantly

(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates

within the same time discharging the
hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose.

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.

Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder infl ation of the side

airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the

chest or arms if the side airbag is deployed.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the front head restraints. This could cause injury

to the head if the side airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

SAFETY

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
-

"rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,

-

"forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

"Forwards-facing"

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated.

"Rearwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child

would risk being seriously injured or

killed if the airbag were to infl ate .

* The rules for carrying children are

specifi c to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
-

in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight

, on seats fi tted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

-

statistically, the safest seats in

your vehicle for carrying children

are the rear seats,

-

a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

-

a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

-

the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat

and that it secures the child seat fi rmly

on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to

infl ate.
Do not use the passenger's "AIRWAVE"
system if a child seat is installed on the
front seat.

SAFETY

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle is approved with regulation
ISOFIX mountings.
The diagram below indicates the seats

which are fi tted with these mountings:

These are two rings A for each seat, lo-
cated between the seat back and seat
cushion of the vehicle's seat, indicated
by a label.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of a collision.

For installing ISOFIX child seats
in your vehicle, refer to the table

showing the locations for fi tting

ISOFIX child seats.

These rings are located behind covers.
For access to them:
 insert the ignition key in the cut-out

in the cover,

 pull it forwards to unclip it and then

fold it down.

The ISOFIX child seats

are fi tted with

two latches which are secured easily on
these rings A .
This ISOFIX mounting system provides

reliable, safe and fast fi tting of the child

seat in your vehicle.
