SAFETY

Impact detection zones

AIRBAGS

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 ﬁtted in the centre

of the steering wheel; the front passen-

ger's airbag is ﬁtted in the dashboard

above the glove box.

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 deployed instantly and

protect the occupants of the vehicle

(with the exception of the rear centre

passenger); immediately after the

impact, the airbags deﬂate rapidly

so that they do not hinder visibility

or the exit of the occupants,

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

-

in the case of a minor or rear impact

or in certain roll-over conditions, the

airbags will not be deployed; the

seat belt alone is sufﬁcient to pro-

vide optimum protection in these

situations.

Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-

i

Operation

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.

The airbags are deployed simultane-

ously, 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 lon-

gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a

horizontal plane and directed from the

front to the rear of the vehicle.

The front airbag inﬂates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

dashboard to cushion their forward

movement.

The airbags do not operate when

!

the ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only operate

once. If a second impact occurs (dur-

ing the same or a subsequent acci-

dent), the airbag will not operate.

Operation

Lateral airbags*

It is deployed 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.

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 ﬁtted in the front

seat back frame, on the door side.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between the

front or rear occupant of the vehicle and

the windows.

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

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 deployed.

The airbag is not deployed in the

event of a rear or front collision.

Operation

It is deployed 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 inﬂates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

corresponding door trim panel.

SAFETY

For the airbags to be fully

!

effective, observe the following

safety rules:

Sit in a normal upright position.

Front airbags

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

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.

Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child,

pet, object...). This could hamper

the operation of the airbags or in-

jure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken into,

have the airbag systems checked.

Lateral airbags*

All work on the airbag system must

be carried out by a PEUGEOT deal-

er or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Only put approved covers on the seats, compatible with deployment of the lateral air-

bags. To see the range of compatible seat covers for your vehicle, visit a PEUGEOT

dealer (see "Practical information § Accessories").

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest

or arms when the lateral airbag inﬂates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

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 de-

ployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,

the bag inﬂates almost instantly

(within a few milliseconds) then

deﬂates within the same time dis-

charging hot gas via the openings

provided for this purpose.

Curtain airbags*

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head when

the curtain airbag inﬂates.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing

the curtain airbags.

* According to country.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR*

In the case of driving which makes

particular demands on the perfor-

mance of the engine (ﬁrm pres-

sure on the accelerator pedal, for

example, when overtaking...), the

system will not recommend a gear

change.

System which reduces fuel consump-

tion by advising the driver to change up

a gear on vehicles ﬁtted with a manual

gearbox.

i

The system never suggests:

-

engaging ﬁrst gear,

engaging reverse gear,

engaging a lower gear.

-

You press the accelerator pedal

moderately.

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 conﬁguration of the road,

the amount of trafﬁc 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.

-

The system may suggest that you

engage a higher gear, if appropriate.

This function cannot be deactivated.

The information appears in the form of an

arrow on the instrument panel display.

) Gradually release the brake pedal.

The vehicle moves off immediately.

The gearbox then operates in auto-

adaptive mode, without any intervention

on the part of the driver. It continuously

selects the most suitable gear accord-

ing to the style of driving, the proﬁle of

the road and the load in the vehicle.

70 mph (110 km/h).

You can then change the programmed speed using buttons 2

-

by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,

by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,

in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed

speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal

ﬁrmly past the point of resistance.

The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-

grammed speed, which is still displayed, ﬂashes.

Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-

al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically

cancels the ﬂashing of the programmed speed.
