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.
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.

This  system  does  not  eliminate
the  need  to  have  the  tyre  pres-
sure  checked  regularly  (refer  to
the  "Technical  information  -  Identi-

ﬁ cation markings" page) to ensure

that  the  optimum  dynamic  perfor-
mance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres,  particularly  in  arduous  driv-
ing  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-mag-
netic  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  on  the  multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, 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 on the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on 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 responsibly.

  Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A  message  appears  on  the  multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal,  to  locate  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 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 vehi-
cle 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 sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a

malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem 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 on the multifunction screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic  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.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.

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.

* According to country.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

When braking in an emergency,

press ﬁ rmly without releasing the

pressure.

SAFETY

103

  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  opera-
tion procedures.
After  an  impact,  have  these  sys-
tems  checked  by  a  PEUGEOT
dealer.

   Deactivation
In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  a
vehicle  which  is  bogged  down,  stuck
in  snow,  on  soft  ground,  ...),  it  may  be
advisable  to  disarm  the ASR  and  ESP
systems,  so  that  the  wheels  can  move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, locat-

ed in the centre of the dashboard.

  If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator  lamp  on  the  button  comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically 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, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
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-skid 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 on the instru-
ment panel.

Steering/ESP coupling system
(SSP)

  The anti-skid 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.

  This  system  optimises  the  stability  of
the  vehicle  and  its  braking  capacity  by
combining  the  actions  of  the  ESP  and
electric power steering when braking on
surfaces on which the grip of the right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.
It  permits  increased  braking  of  the
wheels  which  are  in  contact  with  the
section of road offering the higher level
of grip and, anticipating the instability of
the  vehicle,  the  application  of  a  slight
correction  to  the  turning  angle  of  the
wheels  to assist the  driver in maintain-
ing his trajectory.

 To raise the attachment point, slide

control A upwards.

When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel if the driver
has not fastened their seat belt.

Above approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
and for two minutes, this warning lamp

ﬂ ashes accompanied by an audible signal

of increasing volume. When the two minutes
have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on
until the driver fastens their seat belt.
This warning lamp comes on on the in-
strument panel if one or more passengers
unbuckle their seat belt.

Unfastening
 Press the red button on the buckle.

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 tight-
ens  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 oc-
cupant, increasing his protection.
On  the  5-door  versions,  a  slider,  ﬁ tted

on the seat belt, makes it possible to
support the buckle as close as possible
to the upper mounting.

SAFETY

106

      The  driver  must  ensure  that  the
passengers  use  the  seat  belts  cor-
rectly  and  that  they  are  all  properly
restrained 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.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always pass
under the armrest.
The seat belts are ﬁ tted with an inertia

reel  permitting  automatic  adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The  seat  belt  is  stored  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 au-

tomatic  locking  device  which  comes
into  operation  in  the  event  of  a  colli-
sion,  on  emergency  braking  or  if  the
vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling rapidly on the strap
and releasing it.

* According to model.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,

must restrain one adult only,

must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

must be pulled in front of you with
a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

- must not be transformed or modiﬁ ed

to avoid altering its performance.

In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations,  all  repairs  and  checks  must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried 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 rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for children:
-

use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁ fty,

do not use the strap-guide * when
a child seat is installed.

never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person,

never allow a child to travel on
your lap.

  Depending  on  the  nature  and
seriousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning  device  may  be  triggered
before  and  independently  of  the  air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is  accompanied  by  a  slight  emission
of harmless  smoke  and  a noise,  due
to  the  activation  of  the  pyrotechnic
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.

SAFETY

107

AIRBAGS

  The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This  equipment  will  only  operate
once.  If  a  second  impact  occurs
(during  the  same  or  a  subsequent
accident), the airbag will not operate.

Front airbags

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  incorporated  in
the  centre  of  the  steering  wheel;  the
front passenger's airbag is incorporated
in the dashboard above the glove box.

  Activation
The airbags are triggered simultaneous-
ly,  unless  the  passenger's  front  airbag
is 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.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Triggering  of  the  airbag(s)  is  ac-
companied  by  a  slight  emission  of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive  individuals  may  experience
slight irritation.
The  noise  of  the  detonation  may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

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.

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 triggered 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 triggered; the

seat belt alone is sufﬁ cient to pro-

vide optimum protection in these
situations.

SAFETY

108

If both airbag warning lamps come
on  continuously,  do  not  install  a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have  the  system  checked  by  a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction

screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.

To  assure  the  safety  of  your  child,
it  is  imperative  that  the  passenger
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall  a  "rear  facing"  child  seat  on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were triggered.

According to version, this warn-
ing  lamp  comes  on  either  on
the  instrument  panel  or  on  the
central  panel  when  the  ignition
is on and until the airbag is re-
activated.

  Reactivation
When  you  remove  the  child  seat,  turn
switch  1  to the  "ON"  position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so asure the safety
of  your  front  passenger  in  the  event  of
an impact.

  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.

SAFETY

109

Lateral 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

seat back frame, on the door side.

  Operation
It  is  triggered  unilaterally  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
directed  from  the  outside  towards  the
inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inﬂ ates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

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 head injuries.
Each  curtain  airbag  is  incorporated  in
the pillars and the upper part of the pas-
senger compartment.

If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction

screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.

* According to country.

Operating fault

  Operation
It  is  triggered  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 , perpen-
dicular  to  the  longitudinal  centreline  of
the  vehicle  on  a  horizontal  plane  and
directed  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 triggered.
The  airbag  is  not  triggered  in  the
event of a rear or front collision.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

SAFETY

110

              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  above  are  observed,  a  risk  of
injury  or  of  slight  burns  to  the  head,
chest  or  arms  when  an  airbag  is  trig-
gered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the

bag inﬂ ates almost instantly (within a

few milliseconds) then deﬂ ates within

the same time discharging hot gas via
the openings provided for this pur-
pose.

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.
Smoke as little as possible 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.

Lateral airbags *
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the inﬂ ation of the

lateral airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not ﬁ x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the

chest or arms when the lateral airbag inﬂ ates.
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

when the curtain airbag inﬂ ates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.

* According to country.

112

* According to engine.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up

a gear on vehicles ﬁ tted with a manual

gearbox.

Operation

The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
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  instruc-
tion  without  engaging  the  intermediate
gears.
The  gear  engagement  recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulso-

ry. 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
responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Example:
-

You are in third gear.

The information appears in the form of an
arrow on the instrument panel display.

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.

You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.

The system may suggest that you
engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

proaching a stop sign or trafﬁ c lights for

example, the gearbox changes down to

ﬁ rst gear automatically.

AUTO and the gear engaged
appear on the instrument panel.

The  gearbox  then  operates  in  auto-
adaptive  mode,  without  any  action  on
the part of the driver. It continuously se-
lects  the  most  suitable  gear  in  relation
to the following parameters:
   -

driving style,

road conditions,

vehicle load.

There is an audible signal on en-
gagement of reverse.

115

"Auto sequential" mode

In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering mounted control paddles.
The use of these paddles permits man-
ual  selection  of  the  gears  in  situations
which  require  a  more  rapid  change-
down  than  in the  automated  mode  (ar-
rival at a roundabout, leaving a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the required gear if
the engine speed permits.  AUTO  remains
displayed on the instrument panel.
After  a  few  minutes,  the  gearbox  re-
sumes automatic control of the gears.

"Snow" automated mode

In the automated mode, if the vehi-
cle detects poor grip, the gearbox will
change automatically to the "snow" au-
tomated mode.

Stopping the vehicle
