Of course, we know about the airbags, 5 star NCAP rating etc. There are certain safety features that the 308 has that you might not have known. For example,

To offer occupants optimal protection in the event of a side impact, the Center-Pillar ( B-Pillar )on the 308 is manufactured using a laminate structure of 3 different thicknesses of sheet metal as well as triangulation at the base of the pillar

Side Impact Detection Satellite Sensor (s):
•For Triggering of the Side AND Curtain Airbag Modules, the Airbag / Seatbelt ECUmay rely on 2 Lateral Side-Impact Detection Satellite Sensors

The Airbag / Seatbelt ECU will transmit a [ Impact Detected ] Signal over the MUX network in the event of a vehicle impact
•The [ Impact Detected ] Signalis received by the BSI Unit which may then request the following ;-Fuel Pump Module Supply Cut-off ( managed by PSF1 Module)-Activation of the Hazard Warning Lights-Un-locking of ALL Doors( except for low-speed impacts )

Its not what you have...... its how you use it!!

Just to add on for visual warning, the centre console MFD is dual colored, amber (standard) and red (warning indicators)i.e doors or boot is not closed properly.

Activation of Hazard Warning Lights while applying for emergency brake. This was discovered through my personal real life experience.

It is verified. You must drive minimum 10km/h then only will come out with red indication.

As much as if you don't wear your seatbelts, the indicator will blink and ring... but if you still don't wear your seat belts, after 1 min or so... the audible sound will stop....
