207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

TYRE 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 or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

If, when changing a tyre, you in-

stall a wheel which is not detected

by your vehicle (example: ﬁ tting

of snow tyres), you must have the

system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

This system does not eliminate

the need to have the tyre pres-

sure checked regularly (refer to the

"Identiﬁ cation markings" section) to

ensure that the optimum dynamic

performance of the vehicle is main-

tained and prevent premature wear

of the tyres, particularly in arduous

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 electro-magnetic

signals on a frequency close to that

used by the system.

Sensors ﬁ tted in each valve trigger a

warning in the event of malfunction. The

speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).

Flat tyre

A message appears in the multifunction

screen, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal, to locate the wheel concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon

as possible.

This check must be carried out when

the tyres are cold.

This warning lamp and the

STOP

warning lamp come on in the in-

strument panel, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message

in the multifunction screen locat-

ing the wheel concerned.

 Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-

den 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 detection

system is an aid to driving which

does not replace the need for the

driver to be vigilant or to drive re-

sponsibly.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

A message appears in the multifunction

screen, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which

are not detected or to indicate a fault in

the system.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop to replace the faulty

sensor(s).

This message is also displayed

when one of the wheels is away

from the vehicle (being repaired) or

when one or more wheels without a

sensor are ﬁ tted.

The spare wheel is not ﬁ tted with

a sensor.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS *

Group of supplementary systems which

help you to obtain optimum braking in

complete safety in emergency situations:

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

electronic brake force distribution

(EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA).

Anti-lock braking system

and electronic brake force

distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-

bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle

when braking, in particular on poor or

slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,

press very ﬁ rmly without releasing

the pressure.

When replacing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that they conform to the

manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the

screen, it indicates a malfunc-

tion of the anti-lock braking system

which could result in loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

If this warning lamp comes on,

together with the

STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accompa-

nied by an audible signal and

a message in the screen, it indicates a

malfunction of the electronic brake force

distribution which could result in loss of

control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-

ables you to obtain the optimum braking

pressure more quickly, thus reducing

the stopping distance.

* According to country.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when there

is a risk of wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

pedal.

Activation

It is triggered by the speed at which the

brake pedal is pressed.

The effect of this is a reduction in the

resistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking efﬁ ciency.

When braking in an emergency,

press ﬁ rmly without releasing the

pressure.

SAFETY

101

207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

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

PEUGEOT assembly and repair

procedures.

After an impact, have these systems

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

in the centre of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on on the in-

strument panel and the indicator lamp on

the button comes on, this indicates that the

ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation

These systems are reactivated automati-

cally each time the ignition is switched

back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the

"ESP OFF" button again

to reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and a message in the mul-

tifunction screen, this indicates

a malfunction of these systems.

Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL

SYSTEMS

Activation

These systems are activated automati-

cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-slip 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 in the instru-

ment panel.

The anti-slip 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.

SEAT BELTS

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 built into the back

of the rear bench seat. Their presence

is indicated by the words "Rollover Pro-

tection".

Activation

They are triggered simultaneously should

the vehicle roll over.

Operating fault

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 or a qualiﬁ ed workshop

to have the system checked.

In order to guarantee the correct opera-

tion and the deployment of the roll-over

bars if roll-over is detected, the follow-

ing conditions must be complied with:

- no accessory which is not recom-

mended 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.

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 front impacts. De-

pending on the severity of the impact, the

pretensioning system instantly tightens

the seat belts against the body of the oc-

cupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active

when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pressure

of the seat belt on the occupant's chest.

This improves their protection.

104

207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

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 interchange 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 ad-

justment of the length of the strap

to your size. The seat belt is stowed

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

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 reels in 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 regula-

tions, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to

a qualiﬁ ed workshop with the skills and

equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT

dealer is able to provide.

Have your seat belts checked regu-

larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

ﬁ ed workshop, 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 passen-

ger 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 impact

, the pre-

tensioning device may be deployed

before and independently of the air-

bags. Deployment of the pretensioners

is accompanied by a slight discharge

of harmless smoke and a noise, due

to the activation of the pyrotechnic car-

tridge 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

or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

SAFETY

207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

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 instanta-

neously and contribute towards pro-

tecting the occupants of the vehicle;

immediately after the impact, the

airbags deﬂ ate rapidly so that they

do not hinder the visibility of the oc-

cupants 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 con-

tributes towards providing your pro-

tection in these situations.

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 acci-

dent), the airbag will not operate.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Front airbags

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the

passenger's front airbag if it has been

deactivated, in the event of a serious

front impact applied 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

dashboard to cushion their forward

movement.

The deployment of one or more

airbags is accompanied by a slight

discharge of smoke and a noise,

due to the activation of the pyro-

technic 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.

System which protects the head and

chest of the driver and front passenger

in the event of a front impact.

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.

SAFETY

106

207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

To assure the safety of your child,

it is imperative that the passenger's

airbag is deactivated when you in-

stall a "rearward facing" child seat

on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk be-

ing seriously injured or killed if the

airbag were deployed.

If both airbag warning lamps come

on continuously, do not install a

"rearward facing" child seat on the

front passenger seat.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

Deactivation

Only the front passenger's 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.

According to version, this warn-

ing lamp comes on either in

the instrument panel or in the

central panel when the ignition

is on and until the airbag is re-

activated.

Reactivation

When you remove a "rearward facing"

child seat, turn switch

1 to the "ON" po-

sition to reactivate the airbag and so as-

sure the safety of your front passenger

in the event of an impact.

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 or a qualiﬁ ed workshop without

delay to have the system checked. The

airbags may no longer be deployed in

the event of a serious impact.

Knee airbag *

System which protects the driver's knees

in the event of a serious front impact.

This airbag is ﬁ tted in the dashboard

below the steering column.

Deployment

It is deployed at the same time as the

front airbags.

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and

front passenger in the event of a violent

side impact in order to limit the risks of

injury to the chest.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁ tted in the front

seat back frame, on the door side.

Deployment

It is deployed unilaterally in the event

of a violent impact applied to all or part

of the side impact zone

B , operating at

right angles to the longitudinal axis of

the vehicle in a horizontal plane and

from the exterior of the vehicle towards

the interior.

The lateral airbag comes between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

corresponding door trim panel.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbag may not be deployed in

an impact or minor accident on the

side of the vehicle.

The airbag is not deployed in a

front or rear impact.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on

on the instrument panel, accom-

panied by an audible signal and

a message in the screen, con-

tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁ ed

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may no longer be deployed

in the event of a violent impact.

SAFETY

108

207CC_EN_CHAP06_SECURITE_ED01-2014

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 must be

carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

Even if all of the precautions men-

tioned are observed, a risk of injury

or of slight burns to the head, chest

or arms when an airbag is deployed

cannot be ruled out. Indeed, 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.

* According to country.

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.

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.

Do not attach or stick anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could

cause injury if the airbags are deployed.

Knee airbag *

Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.

Lateral airbags

Only use approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the

lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your

vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see the "Accessories" section) .

Do not attach or stick anything to the seat backs. 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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption

by advising the driver to change up on

vehicles ﬁ tted with a manual gearbox.

Operation

The system intervenes only when driv-

ing economically.

Depending on the driving situation and

your vehicle's equipment, the system

may advise you to skip one or more

gears. You can follow this instruction

without engaging the intermediate

gears.

The gear recommended should not

be considered compulsory. In fact, the

conﬁ guration of the road, the amount

of trafﬁ c and safety remain determining

factors when choosing the best gear.

Therefore, the driver remains responsi-

ble for deciding whether or not to follow

the advice given by the system.

This function cannot be deactivated.

Example:

You are in third gear.

You press the accelerator pedal

moderately.

- The system may suggest that you

engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

The information appears in the form of

an arrow in the instrument panel screen.

Depending on your vehicle's equip-

ment, this arrow may be accompanied

by the recommended gear.

In the case of driving which makes

particular demands on the perfor-

mance of the engine (ﬁ rm pres-

sure on the accelerator pedal, for

example, when overtaking...), the

system will not recommend a gear

change.

The system never suggests:

- engaging ﬁ rst gear,

engaging reverse gear,

engaging a lower gear.
