Peugeot 308 CC Dag (2010.5). Manual - part 8

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.

belts (leather seats only).

103

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.

104

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.

105

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.

106

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.

108

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.

SAFETY

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.

112

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.

113

SAFETY

ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE

This child seat can also be used on seats which are not ﬁ tted with ISOFIX mountings. In this case, it is essential that it

is secured to the vehicle's seat by means of the seat belt.

Follow the instructions for ﬁ tting the child seat indicated in the seat manufacturer's installation guide.
