SAFETY
The active and passive safety equipment on the 207 is designed to anticipate and protect. With Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and 6 airbags standard across the range along with advanced braking systems and a reinforced passenger safety cell, you can see why the 207 is a safe bet.
Advanced brakes
The sophisticated, new-generation ABS with EBFD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) and EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) is standard across the range. EBFD controls braking wheel by wheel for greater efficiency, particularly when braking in corners. EBA automatically applies more braking force in the event of sudden braking to increase the efficiency of your braking. The hazard lights are also automatically illuminated in the event of heavy braking. It's easy to see that when it comes to safety, the 207 has real stopping power.
ESP
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) continuously monitors the 207's vital information using sophisticated sensors. If it detects any movement in the chassis (understeer or oversteer) which might cause you to lose control of the vehicle it automatically corrects the stability by using a combination of braking and engine management. It can also limit wheel slip in the event of a loss of traction.
Airbags
The most important element of the Peugeot 207 is you and your passengers, which is why the vehicle surrounds you with a protective cocoon in the event of an accident with 6 airbags as standard. The five 3-point seatbelts are each equipped with a load limiter. The front seatbelts are also pre-tensioning and height-adjustable. Rear seat child restraint anchorage points ensure a secure fit for a child car safety seat. The Peugeot 207 thinks of everything and everyone.
Passenger safety cell
In the event of an accident, the 207 has carefully considered crumple zones at the front and rear of the car which are designed to take the brunt of the force and keep the passenger compartment in tact. In head-on collisions, the steering column moves down, lowering the chance of it harming the driver. If hit from the side, the 207 also has reinforcement panels built into the doors to increase structural rigidity and protect your passengers.
Impulse indicators
The 207 is now equipped with impulse indicators. Even if you simply nudge the indicator stalk without completely switching it on, the indicator will flash three times, giving other motorists a clearer indication of your intentions. The system really comes into its own when changing lanes on motorways and highways.
