CHILD SAFETY

The incorrect installation of a

child seat in a vehicle compro-

mises the child's protection in

the event of an accident.

For information regarding the

ISOFIX child seats which can be

installed in your vehicle, refer to

the table showing the locations

for ISOFIX child seats.

"ISOFIX" mountings

These are three rings for each seat:

- two rings

A , located between the

vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-

cated by a label,

a ring B , used to fi x the upper strap,

referred to as the TOP TETHER , in-

dicated by a label.

This ISOFIX mounting system provides

fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child

seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fi tted with

two latches which are secured easily on

the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which

is attached to the ring B .
To attach this strap, remove the vehicle

seat's head restraint. Then fi x the hook

on the ring

B and tighten the upper

strap.

Your vehicle has been approved in

accordance with the new ISOFIX regu-

lation .
The seats, represented below, are fi tted

with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

CHILD SAFETY

This child seat can also be used on seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX mountings.
In this case, it must be attached to the vehicle seat using the three point seat belt.
Follow the instructions for fi tting the child seat given in the seat manufacturer's installation guide.

CHILD SAFETY

The incorrect installation of a

child seat in a vehicle compro-

mises the child's protection in

the event of an accident.
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

"forward facing" child seat, en-

sure 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.
If the head restraint has to be

removed, ensure that it is stored

or attached securely to prevent

it from being thrown around the

vehicle in the event of sharp

braking.
Children under the age of

10 must not travel in the "for-

ward 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

installed on the front seat. Other-

wise, the child would risk being se-

riously injured or killed if the airbag

were to infl ate.

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 un-

supervised 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.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows

by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the

rear windows.

CHILD LOCK

SAFETY

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which

help you to obtain optimum braking in

complete safety in emergency situa-

tions:
-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution

(EBFD).

When braking in an emergency,

press very fi rmly without releasing

the pressure.

The two warning lamps comes

on at the same time and the two

warnings are displayed alter-

nately in the instrument panel

screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that they conform to

the manufacturer's recommenda-

tions.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on, accompa-

nied by the indication on the instrument

panel screen, it indicates a malfunction

of the anti-lock braking system which

could result in a loss of control of the ve-

hicle when braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop.

If these two warning lamps come on,

linked with the warnings on the instrument

panel screen, they indicate a malfunction

of the electronic brake force distribution

which could result in a loss of control of

the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop.

Anti-lock braking system

and electronic brake force

distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-

bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle

when braking, in particular on poor or

slippery surfaces.

The warning lamp comes on for

a few seconds when the ignition

is switched on (ON position). If it

does not switch off or does not

come on, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When the vehicle is stationary

When the vehicle is moving

If this warning lamp comes on

continuously it indicates a mal-

function of the anti-lock braking

system which could result in a

loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if

the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph

(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-

hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when there

is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

pedal.

SAFETY

The ASC/TCL systems offer

exceptional safety in normal

driving, but this should not en-

courage 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 on:
-

wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking

components,

- electronic

components,

- assembly and repair proce-

dures.

After an impact, have these sys-

tems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 ASC system,

so that the wheels can move freely and

regain grip.

) Press the

"ASC OFF" button, locat-

ed to the left of the steering wheel,

until the ASC OFF symbol appears

on the instrument panel screen.

The display of this symbol in the top

right corner of the instrument panel

screen indicates that the ASC and TCL

systems are deactivated.

Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-

tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).
) Press the "ASC OFF" button again

to reactivate them manually.

Switching off of the symbol in the top

right corner of the instrument panel

screen indicates the reactivation of the

ASC and TCL systems.

Operating fault

The displaying of this mes-

sage on the instrument panel

screen indicates a malfunc-

tion of these systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have

the ASC/TCL systems checked.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-

cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is

higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).

Traction control and automatic

stability control

Traction control optimises traction to

prevent wheel spin, by acting on the

brakes of the driving wheels and on the

engine.
Automatic stability control acts on the

brake of one or more wheels and on the

engine to keep the vehicle on the tra-

jectory required by the driver.

They come into operation in

the event of a grip or trajectory

problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing

of this symbol on the instrument panel

screen.

Associated systems which guarantee

the directional stability of the vehicle

within the limits of the laws of physics:
-

traction control (TCL),

automatic stability control (ASC).

Front seat belts

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 or side im-

pact. Depending on the severity of the

impact, the pretensioning system in-

stantly 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 oc-

cupant, so improving their protection.

SAFETY

Front seat belt not fastened/

unfastened warning lamp

When the ignition is switched

on, this warning lamp comes

on accompanied by an au-

dible signal for a few seconds

if the driver has not fastened

their seat belt.

Rear seat belts

Each rear seat is fi tted with a three-point

inertia reel seat belt with force limiter.

Fastening

in the buckle.

) Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

Unfastening
) Press the red button on the buckle.

If the driver does not fasten their seat

belt within one minute after switching on

the ignition, the warning lamp fl ashes

accompanied by an intermittent audible

signal and a display on the instrument

panel screen.
The warning lamp, the audible signal

and the display stop after approximately

90 seconds and return until the driver

fastens their seat belt.
If the seat belt is unfastened while the

vehicle is moving , you are alerted by

the same warnings.

warning lamp comes on the centre con-

sole panel.
It is accompanied by an audible signal

for a few seconds if the passenger has

not fastened their seat belt.
If the seat belt is unfastened while the

vehicle is moving , you are alerted by

the same warnings.

Driver's seat belt

Outer rear seat belts

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 interchange the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulfi l their

role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic ad-

justment 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 are fi tted with an

automatic locking device which

comes into operation in the event

of a collision, emergency braking or

if the vehicle rolls over. You can re-

lease the device by pulling fi rmly on

the strap and releasing it so that it

reels in slightly.

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 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

regulations, for all repairs on your

vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop

with the skills and equipment needed,

which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to

provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-

larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualifi ed 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.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impact , the pre-

tensioning device may be deployed

before and independently of the

airbags. Deployment of the preten-

sioners 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

or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS

The airbags do not operate

when the ignition is switched

off.
This equipment will only operate

once. If a second impact occurs

(during the same or a subse-

quent accident), the airbag will

not operate.

Front airbags

System which protects the head and

chest of the driver and front passenger

in the event of a front impact.
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 simultane-

ously, unless the passenger's front

airbag is deactivated, in the event of

a serious front impact applied 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

front occupant of the vehicle and the

dashboard to cushion their forward

movement.

Impact detection zones

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

Deployment of the airbag(s) is

accompanied by a slight emis-

sion of harmless smoke and a

noise, due to the activation of

the pyrotechnic cartridge incor-

porated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but

sensitive individuals may expe-

rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may

result in a slight loss of hearing

for a short time.

System designed to maximise the safety

of the occupants (with the exception of

the rear centre passenger) in the event

of violent collisions. It supplements the

action of the force-limiting seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detec-

tors record and analyse the front and side

impacts sustained in the impact detection

zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the

airbags are deployed instantly and

protect the occupants of the vehicle

(with the exception of the rear cen-

tre passenger); immediately after the

impact, the airbags defl ate 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 roll-over conditions, the

airbags will not be deployed; the

seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-

vide optimum protection in these

situations.

SAFETY

If the airbag warning lamp and

the display come on continuous-

ly, do not install a "rear facing"

child seat on the front passenger

seat.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualifi ed workshop.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on on the in-

strument panel and this display appears

on the instrument panel screen, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop to have the system checked. The

airbags may no longer be deployed in the

event of a serious impact.

To ensure the safety of your

child, the passenger's airbag

must be deactivated when you

install a "rear facing" child seat

on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk

being seriously injured or killed

if the airbag were triggered.

This warning lamp comes on in the centre

console panel when the ignition is on and

until the airbag is reactivated.

Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn

switch A to the "ON" position to reacti-

vate the airbag and so ensure the safety

of your front passenger in the event of an

impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can

be deactivated:
) with the ignition off , insert the key

in the passenger airbag deactiva-

tion switch A ,

) turn it to the "OFF" position,
) remove the key.

SAFETY

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and

passenger in the event of a serious side

impact in order to limit the risk of injury

to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front

seat back frame, on the door side.

Activation
The lateral airbag is triggered unilater-

ally 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 to-

wards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

corresponding door trim panel.

Curtain airbags

System which protects the driver and pas-

sengers (with the exception of the rear centre

passenger and the passengers in row 3) in

the event of a serious side impact in order to

limit the risk of injury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is fi tted in the pillars

and the upper section of the passenger

compartment.

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 , per-

pendicular to the longitudinal centreline of

the vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-

rected from the outside towards the inside

of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the

front or rear occupant of the vehicle and

the windows.

In the event of a minor impact or

bump on the side of the vehicle

or if the vehicle rolls over, the

airbag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front

collision, the airbag is not de-

ployed.

Impact detection zones

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

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instru-

ment panel and this display appears in the in-

strument panel screen, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the

system checked. The airbags may no longer

be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
