Peugeot 3008 2008-2015 Safety

119DIRECTION INDICATORS If you forget to cancel the di-rection indicators for more than twenty seconds, the volume of the audible signal will in-crease if the speed is above 40 mph (60 km/h). Lower the lighting control stalk fully when moving to the left. Raise the lighting control stalk fully when moving to the right. HAZARD WARNING LAMPS A visual warning by means of the di-rection indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle breakdown, towing or accident. Tilt or press button A , the direction indicators fl ash. They can operate with the ignition off. Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps When braking in an emergency, de-pending on the deceleration, the hazard warning lamps come on automatically. They switch off automatically the fi rst time you accelerate. You can also switch them off by pressing the button. HORN Press one of the spokes of the steer-ing wheel. Use the horn moderately and only in the following cases: - immediate danger, - overtaking a cyclist or pedestrian, - when approaching an area where there is no visibility. Audible warning to alert other road users to an imminent danger. "Motorway" function Move the stalk briefl y upwards or down-wards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the corresponding direc-tion indicators will fl ash 3 times.
120TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fi tted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow tyres), you must have the system re-initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer. This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to the "Identifi cation markings" section) to ensure that the optimum dynamic performance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-ous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Re-member to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience temporary interference due to electromagnetic emissions on a frequency close to that used by the system. Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)). The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor. This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned. Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold. Under-infl ated tyre The STOP warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunc-tion screen identifying the wheel concerned. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes. Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very defl ated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible. Puncture The tyre under-infl ation detec-tion system is an aid to driv-ing which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty A message appears in the multifunc-tion screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). This message is also dis-played when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (be-ing repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fi tted.
121 ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP) Electronic stability programme (ESP) incorporating the following systems: - the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distri-bution system (EBFD), - the emergency braking assistance, - the traction control (ASR), - the dynamic stability control (DSC). Definitions Anti-skid regulation (ASR) The ASR system (also known as Trac-tion Control) optimises traction in order to avoid wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also improves the directional stability of the vehicle on acceleration. Dynamic stability control (DSC) If there is a difference between the path followed by the vehicle and that re-quired by the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle to the required path, within the limits of the laws of physics. Emergency braking assistance In an emergency, this system enables you to reach the optimum braking pres-sure more quickly and therefore reduce the stopping distance. It is triggered in relation to the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in the effec-tiveness of the braking. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution system (EBFD) This system improves the stability and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking and offers improved control, in particular on poor or slippery road sur-faces. The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of emergency braking. The electronic brake force distribution system manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel. When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indi-cates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOPwarning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a mes-sage, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very fi rmly without releas-ing the pressure. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)

122 Dynamic stability control (DSC) The DSC system offers excep-tional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of the system depends on observation of the ma-nufacturer's recommendations re-garding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electron-ic components and the assembly and repair procedures used by PEUGEOT dealers. After an impact, have the system 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 DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip. Press the "ESP OFF"button or, according to version, turn the dial to this position. This warning lamp and the in-dicator lamp on the button or on the dial come on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine. Reactivation The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the mul-tifunction screen, this indicates a malfunction of the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the instru-ment panel. Activation This system is activated automatically each time the vehicle is started. It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem. Press the "ESP OFF" but-ton again or, according to version, turn the dial to this position, to reactivate it manually.
123GRIP CONTROL ESP mode Place the dial in this position. Snow mode Special patented traction control sys-tem which improves traction on snow, mud and sand. This system is combined with all-sea-son M+S (Mud and Snow: 215/60 R16) tyres which offer an excellent compro-mise between safety, grip and traction. This system, the operation of which has been optimised for each situation, allows you to manoeuvre in most condi-tions of poor grip (encountered during touring use). The accelerator pedal should be pressed suffi ciently to allow the system to use the power of the engine. The electronics will ensure optimum management of the various parameters. Operation at high engine speeds is completely normal. Each time the ignition is switched off, the system returns to standard mode (ESP). Standard mode which is calibrated for a low level of wheel spin, based on the different levels of grip normally encoun-tered on the road. Mode which adapts its strategy to the conditions of grip encountered for each of the two front wheels on moving off. When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to provide the best accelera-tion possible for the grip available. Place the dial in this position.
124 All-terrain mode (mud, wet grass, ...) Mode which, when moving off allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as much torque as possible. When moving, the system optimises wheel spin to respond to the driver's re-quirements as fully as possible. Sand mode Mode which 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 advice Your vehicle is designed princi-pally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrain occasionally. However, it does not permit all-terrain activities such as: - crossing and driving on terrain which could damage the under-frame or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due to obstacles or stones in particular, - driving on terrain with steep gra-dients and poor grip, - crossing a stream. Place the dial in this position. Place the dial in this position. ESP OFF mode Place the dial in this po-sition. Do not use the other modes on sand as the vehicle may become stuck. This mode is active up to 30 mph (50 km/h).
125 Height adjustment Front seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamp Fastening Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle. Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap. To adjust the anchorage point, squeeze the control A and slide it until you fi nd a notch. When the ignition is switched on, this warning lamp comes on on the seat belt and pas-senger's front airbag warning lamps display, if the driver and/or the front passenger has not fastened their seat belt. From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning lamp fl ashes for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal. Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt. Unfastening Press the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat belt as it reels in. SEAT BELTS 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 occu-pant, so improving their protection.
1261. Front and/or rear seat belts not fas-tened/unfastened warning lamp. 2. Front left seat belt warning lamp. 3. Front right seat belt warning lamp. 4. Rear right seat belt warning lamp. 5. Rear centre seat belt warning lamp. 6. Rear left seat belt warning lamp. Seat belt not fastened/unfastened warning lamps display Rear seat belts The rear seats are each fi tted with a three-point inertia reel seat belt with force limiter (with the exception of the centre rear seat). Seat belt unfastened warning lamp This warning lamp comes on on the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps dis-play, when one or more rear pas-sengers unfasten their seat belt. From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h), this warning lamp fl ashes for two minutes accompanied by an audible signal. Once these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the one or more rear passengers fasten their seat belt. Fastening Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle. Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap. Unfastening Press the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat belt as it reels in. The corresponding warning lamp 2 or 3comes on in red on the seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display if the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened. When the ignition is switched on, with the engine running or when the vehicle is moving at less than 12 mph (20 km/h), the corresponding warning lamps 4 , 5and 6 come on in red for approximately 30 seconds, if the seat belt is not fas-tened. When the vehicle is moving at more than 12 mph (20 km/h), the corresponding warning lamp 4 , 5 or 6 comes on in red, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, if a rear passenger has unfastened their seat belt. Seat belt unfastened warning lamps display
127 The driver must ensure that passengers 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 in-ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-ment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stored automat-ically 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 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 regulations, 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 regu-larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-ticularly 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 secure more than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap. In the event of an impact Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impacts , the pre-tensioning device may be trig-gered before and independently of the airbags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the py-rotechnic 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.
128 AIRBAGS 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 incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-tive individuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may re-sult 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 chest. 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 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 dash-board to cushion his forward movement. Impact detection zones A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. The airbags do not oper-ate 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. 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 (with the exception of the rear centre passenger). If a collision occurs, the electronic de-tectors 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 centre 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.
129 If at least one of the two airbag warning lamps come on contin-uously, 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, accompanied 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 im-pact. Reactivation When you remove the child seat, turn the switch 1 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 passenger's front airbag is activated. To assure the safety of your child, it is imperative that the passenger's front airbag is deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front pas-senger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed. According to version, this warning lamp comes on either in the instrument 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 1 , turn it to the "OFF" position, then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
131 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 men-tioned 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 in-fl ates almost instantly (within a few milli seconds) 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 deploy-ment 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 Use only approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder infl ation of the lateral airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary. Curtain airbags Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is de-ployed. Do not remove the grab handles in-stalled on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
130Lateral 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 chest. Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front, in the outer side of the seat back frame. Deployment The lateral airbags are deployed uni-laterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the lon-gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the ve-hicle. Curtain airbags System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head. Each curtain airbag is built into the pil-lars and the upper passenger compart-ment area. Operating fault 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 colli-sion, the airbag is not deployed. Impact detection zones A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accom-panied by an audible signal 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. The lateral airbag infl ates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door panel.
