DECLARATION ON EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Corporate sustainable Development Commitment

Secondary safety: protection during an accident The Laboratoire d’Accidentologie, de Biomécanique et d’Étude du comportement humain (LAB) is a road safety association created jointly by Groupe PSA and Renault. As a unique organisation, since 1969, LAB has conducted research projects (27,200 accidents in its database) to enhance understanding of accident mechanisms and their related injury mechanisms. Groupe PSA is primarily working in two areas: chassis and body structure : the vehicles are structurally designed „ to dissipate the energy from an impact in a controlled manner, with effectively positioned impact absorption structures and deformable crash boxes (shock absorbers). The passenger compartment becomes a real survival cell by reducing strain and intrusion; airbags and restraint systems : the capacity of structures to „ absorb energy and protect the passenger compartment leads to a reduction in the impact on occupants in crashes through sophisticated restraint systems. The Group’s vehicles offer up to eight airbags. They also include seatbelt tensioning devices front and rear and load-limiting retractors. Buckle-up reminders sound a signal and light up to warn the driver when someone has not buckled their belt. Thanks to the ISOFIX attachment points, compatible with the iSize standard, Groupe PSA vehicles ensures the proper use of child safety seats adapted to their morphology. Tertiary safety: post-accident emergency response Groupe PSA has played a pioneering role and remains the European leader in post-accident or tertiary safety, which helps to attenuate the effects of an accident by facilitating emergency rescue in two ways: emergency call system : implementing the devices before „ European regulation PE/112 comes into effect on 30 March 2018, the Group is the only mainstream car manufacturer to have deployed since 2003 a wide-scale, location-aware emergency call system, without a subscription or any cut-off date and operational 24/7. In the event of an accident or medical emergency in an ATB-equipped vehicle, occupants can alert a dedicated assistance centre that can accurately locate the vehicle. This saves time and allows for more effective assistance to be provided. According to the European Commission, equipping every vehicle on the road with such a system would save more than 2,500 lives a year in Europe. The emergency call system is particularly useful when accidents occur in isolated areas with no eyewitness. Confidential information on customer movements is not retained.

Controlling trajectory and safety distances LDWS (lane departure warning system) warns the driver of „ unintentional lane departure. LKA (lane keeping assist) operates on the steering system to „ keep the vehicle in lane. DA (distance alert) evaluates the time it would take to close with „ the vehicle in front at the current speed. The front collision warning function sounds a signal and lights up „ to warn the driver of the risk of an imminent impact; ACC, or adaptive cruise control, adjusts the speed of the vehicle „ according to the traffic. SLI, or speed limit information, recognises the speed limit and „ passes the information on to the different ISA (intelligent speed assist) systems. AEBS (autonomous emergency braking system) alerts and „ increases braking if the driver does not react, or brakes automatically if the driver fails to react to the risk of collision with another vehicle or pedestrian. DAA (driver attention alert) analyses risky driver behaviour and „ alerts him if necessary. See and be better seen Beyond the technologies which are already widespread (use of rear camera, panoramic vision, LED projectors), Groupe PSA has developed many innovations in this area which set it apart and that are available on several vehicle lines: lighting to support the safety functions (including automatic „ activation of emergency flasher lights in the event of sudden deceleration, LED daytime running lights and automatic dipped beam/main beam switching); a blind spot information system that indicates the presence of a „ vehicle (particularly a motor bike) in a blind spot zone through a pictogram in the wing mirror; the blind spot information system and LKA can be linked up to warn the driver of the presence of a vehicle in the blind spot when changing lane. Ergonomics and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) The increasing number of driver assistance systems and spread of infotainment technologies demand that Groupe PSA pay close attention when designing HMIs so that it can diagnose the state of alertness of drivers and suggest interactions that will enable them to refocus on driving. Through a collaborative project called SCOOP@F (which succeeded SCOREF) investigating “car to x” applications of ICT, researchers are looking at ways to send drivers targeted information that may either warn them about risks of an accident (suggested speed, weather alerts, traffic, obstacles identified, etc.) or provide a service (service stations, recommended route, etc.). All this information must be delivered to drivers without distracting their attention or disturbing their driving. The project is now entering the “pilot” test phase with customers to measure the potential benefits of the system.
