CHILD SAFETY

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must

be positioned on the child's shoulder

without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat

belt passes correctly over the child's

thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and unsu-

pervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children

inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the

"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-

dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the

rear windows.

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an ac-

cident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or

the child seat harnesses keeping the

slack relative to the child's body to a

minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the

seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is

tightened correctly on the child seat

and that it secures the child seat fi rm-

ly on the seat of your vehicle. If your

passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-

wards-facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle's seat and

that the head restraint does not cause

any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-

moved, ensure that it is stored or at-

tached securely to prevent it from

being thrown around the vehicle in the

event of sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forwards-facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied

by other children, cannot be used or

are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag

when a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to infl ate.

131

CHILD SAFETY

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

Your vehicle has been approved in accor-

dance with the new ISOFIX regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fi tted

with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

Rear seats

The Isofi x mountings are three rings for

each seat:
- two rings

A , located between the

vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-

cated by a label,

- a ring

B , located behind the seat,

referred to as the TOP TETHER for

fi xing the upper strap.

Rear seats

Rear seats of the 2nd row

When installing an ISOFIX child

seat in the left hand rear position

of the bench seat, before fi tting the

child seat, fi rst move the centre

rear seat belt towards the middle

of the vehicle so as to avoid the

child seat interfering with the op-

eration of the seat belt.

132

CHILD SAFETY

This ISOFIX mounting system ensures

fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child

seat in your vehicle.

The ISOFIX child seats are fi tted with

two locks which are secured easily on

the two rings A .

Some also have an upper strap (or top

tether) which is attached to ring B .

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an

accident.

For information regarding the ISOFIX

child seats which can be installed in

your vehicle, consult the summary

table for the location of the ISOFIX

child seats.

To attach this strap, raise the vehicle

seat's head restraint then pass the hook

between its rods. Then fi x the hook on

ring B and tighten the upper strap.

138

SAFETY

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION

DETECTION

System which automatically and contin-

uously 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 fi t 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 avoid the

need to have the tyre pressures

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-magnet-

ic emissions on a frequency close

to that used by the system.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a

warning in the event of problem (speed

above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

This warning lamp is displayed

in the instrument panel and/or a

message appears in the screen,

accompanied by an audible signal,

to identify the wheel concerned.

) Check the tyre pressures as soon

as possible.

This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Under-infl ated tyre

The STOP warning lamp comes

on and/or this warning lamp

is displayed in the instrument

panel, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message in

the screen identifying the wheel

concerned.

) Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,

avoiding any sudden movement of

the steering wheel and the brakes.

) Repair or change the damaged

wheel (punctured or very defl ated

tyre), and have the tyre pressure

checked as soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-

tem 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

This warning lamp is displayed

on the instrument panel and/

or a message appears in the

screen, accompanied by an

audible signal, to locate the wheel or

wheels which are not detected or to in-

dicate a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-

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.
If your vehicle is equipped with a

spare wheel, this is not fi tted with

a sensor.

SAFETY

BRAKING ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which

help you to obtain optimum braking in

complete safety in emergency situa-

tions:
-

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 stability

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.

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.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When braking in an emergency,

press fi rmly without releasing the

pressure.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE

CALL

This system allows you to make an

emergency or assistance call to the

emergency services or to the dedicated

PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this

function, refer to the "Audio and tele-

matics" section.

140

SAFETY

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 on:
-

wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking

components,

- electronic

components,

repair and assembly procedures.

After an impact, have these sys-

tems checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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, locat-

ed in the middle of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and the indicator

lamp in the button come on, this indi-

cates that the ASR and ESP systems

are deactivated.
On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp

engine, this action also deactivates the auto-

matic operation of hazard warning lamps.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-

ically each time the ignition is switched

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

cept in the case of the 1.6 litre THP

200 hp petrol engine).
) Press the "ESP OFF" button again

to reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the

screen, this indicates a mal-

function of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualifi ed workshop.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL

SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-

cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event

of a grip or trajectory problem.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and

electronic stability programme

(ESP)

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.

On vehicles fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP

200 hp engine, this action also reacti-

vates the automatic operation of hazard

warning lamps.

141

SAFETY

SEAT BELTS

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 a front or side im-

pact. Depending on the severity of the

impact, the pretensioning system in-

stantly tightens 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 occu-

pant, so improving their protection.

Fastening

  Unfastening
   )   Press the red button on the buckle.
