Anti-lock braking system
(ABS)/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.
Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
manages overall braking pressure on each
individual wheel.

After an impact
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
► When braking in an emergency, depress
the pedal very firmly and maintain this
pressure.
Emergency braking
assistance (EBA)
This system reduces the emergency stopping
distance, by optimising the braking pressure.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this
is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Electronic stability control
(ESC)
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
The electronic stability control programme
includes the following systems:
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp
signals that there is a fault with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.

brake force distribution (EBFD).
– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).
– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).
– Dynamic stability control (DSC).
– Trailer stability assist (TSA).
Intelligent traction control
Depending on version, the vehicle has a system
to help with driving on snow: intelligent traction
control.
This system detects situations of poor surface
grip that could make it difficult to move off
or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
87
Safety
In these situations, the system limits the amount
of wheel spin to provide the best traction and
trajectory control for the vehicle.
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR system, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate the system as soon as the level of
grip permits.
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 provided by PEUGEOT
dealers.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on surfaces offering low
levels of grip.
This function is set via the Driving/
Vehicle touch screen menu.
Deactivation is confirmed by the lighting
of this indicator lamp on the instrument
panel and the display of a message.
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or at
speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h).
In order to ensure that these systems remain
effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow
or all-season tyres is recommended. All four
wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
/ Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises
traction by using engine braking and by applying
the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one
or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the
vehicle's directional stability.
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.
Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99
mph (60 and 160 km/h).
If the system detects that the trailer is
snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise
the trailer and reduces engine power, if
necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the
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.
These systems are activated in the event
of a problem with grip or trajectory
(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the
instrument panel).

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the
system may not be able to prevent sudden
trailer snaking.
Operating modes
Snow
5
This mode constantly adapts the level of wheel
spin to offer maximum traction according to the
snow conditions (a lot of wheel spin in thick
snow; very little on ice). The wheel spin is also
adapted to the conditions encountered when
driving uphill by optimising the acceleration of
the vehicle.
Advanced Grip Control
This special patented traction control system
improves grip on snow, mud and sand.
To ensure safe driving with a Towing device,
refer to the corresponding section.
Malfunction
For optimum grip on snow, it is
recommended that you fit the vehicle
with winter tyres.
For optimum system performance, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to choose the most suitable
tyres.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights
up on the instrument panel, accompanied
by a message and an audible signal.
To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and
drive carefully!
Mud
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
traction torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally
to drive on tarmac roads, but it may
occassionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road driving:
– Driving on terrain that can damage the
underbody or tear off elements (e.g. fuel
pipe, fuel cooler) by obstacles or stones in
particular.
The trailer stability control system
provides an extra safety feature under
normal driving conditions, when following the
recommendations for use of trailers and
current legislation in force in your country. It
must not encourage the driver to take extra
risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable
conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,
exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated
tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at
excessive speed.
(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.
– Driving on terrain with steep gradients and
poor grip.
– Crossing a waterway.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
In certain cases, the system may not detect
trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck.

94
Safety
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 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.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
– In the event of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to
protect you in these situations.

Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of collision.
Front airbags
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.

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do
not fix or attach anything near or in the path of
the airbags, as this could cause injuries when
they are deployed.
Never modify the original definition of the
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding
lateral airbag in the event of a serious side
impact applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the
corresponding windows.
In the event of a serious side impact, this system
protects the driver and front passenger to
mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between
the hip and the shoulder.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

Safety
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates
almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time,
discharging the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
5
– In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1,5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
– Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
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.
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.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
– ‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,
– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as these help to secure the curtain
airbags.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Advice
Lateral airbags
Child seats
An incorrectly installed child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Use only approved seat covers
compatible with the deployment of these
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
97
Safety
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
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 firmly on the seat of the vehicle.
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
In the presence of a dog guard, it
is essential that booster seat type
child seats with backrest be installed in the
second row.
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 child alone and unattended 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.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Child seat at the rear
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Forward-facing or rearward-facing
Centre rear seat
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.
Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
A child seat with a support leg must never be
installed on the centre rear passenger seat.
► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Child seat at the front
Additional protections
► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
98
Safety
► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
highest and fully back longitudinal position,
with the backrest straightened.
