Puncture

All repairs and changing of

tyres on a wheel ﬁtted with

this system must be carried

out by a PEUGEOT dealer.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION

DETECTION

The STOP warning light comes on on

the instrument panel, accompanied

by an audible signal and a message

on the multi-function display locating

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 deﬂated tyre), and have

the tyre pressure checked as soon

as possible.

If, when changing a tyre, you

install a wheel which is not detect-

ed by your vehicle (example: ﬁtting

of snow tyres), you must have the

system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

The tyre under-inﬂation 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

This system does not eliminate

the need to have the tyre pressure

checked regularly (see manufactur-

er’s label on the door pillar) to ensure

that the optimum dynamic perform-

ance of the vehicle is maintained and

prevent premature wear of the tyres,

particularly in arduous driving condi-

tions (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.

Sensors ﬁtted in each valve check

the tyre pressure during driving and

trigger a warning in the event of

malfunction (speed above 12 mph

(20 km/h)).

The service warning light

comes on on the instrument

panel, accompanied by an

audible signal and a mes-

sage on the multifunction

display locating the wheel or wheels

which are not detected or indicating a

fault in the system.

Flat tyre

panel, accompanied by an

audible signal and a mes-

sage on the multifunction

display locating the wheel

concerned.

The tyre under-inﬂation detection

system may experience temporary

interference due to radioelectric

emissions on a frequency close to

that used by the system.

Notes:

Check the tyre pressures as soon as

possible. This check must be carried

out when the tyres are cold.

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

ﬁtted.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING

SYSTEM (ABS) AND

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE

DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

ing lights, accompanied by

a buzzer and a message,

it indicates that there is a

malfunction of the electronic brake

force distribution, which can cause

a loss of control of the vehicle when

braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT

dealer.

In an emergency, this system ena-

bles the optimum braking pressure

to be reached more quickly, thus

reducing the stopping distance.

It is triggered by the speed at which

the brake pedal is activated. The

effect of this is a reduction in the

resistance of the pedal and an

increase in braking efficiency.

The ABS, in conjunction with the

electronic brake force distribution,

increases the stability and manoeu-

vrability of your vehicle on braking,

in particular on poor or slippery road

surfaces.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres

and rims), make sure that these are

approved.

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 vibrations

of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press

very ﬁrmly without releasing the

pressure.

When this warning light

comes on, accompanied

by a buzzer and a mes-

sage, it indicates that there

is a malfunction of the ABS,

which can cause a loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

88

Disarming the ASR/ESP systems

Operating check

When a malfunction of the

systems occurs, the switch

light ﬂashes and the warn-

ing light comes on, accom-

panied by an audible signal

and a message on the multifunction

display.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)

AND DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and

complement the ABS.

The ASR system optimises drive to

prevent the wheels skidding, by act-

ing on the brakes of the drive wheels

and on the engine. It also allows the

directional stability of the vehicle to

be improved on acceleration.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the systems checked.

If there is a variation between the tra-

jectory followed by the vehicle and

that required by the driver, the ESP

system automatically acts on the en-

gine and the brake of one or more

wheels, in order to put the vehicle

back on course, within the limits of

the laws of physics.

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.

The ESP/ASR systems offer

exceptional 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 sys-

tems depends on observation of the

manufacturer’s recommendations re-

garding the wheels (tyres and rims),

the braking components, the electronic

components and the PEUGEOT as-

sembly and operation procedures.

Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-

cated on the central section of the

fascia.

Operation of the ASR and ESP

systems

The switch lights up and

the warning light comes on:

the ASR and ESP systems

are disarmed.

The warning light ﬂashes

if the ASR or ESP is acti-

vated.

After an impact, have the systems

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

These are triggered again:

automatically if the ignition is

switched off,

automatically

above

30 mph

(50 km/h) (with the exception of the

2 litre 16V 180 bhp petrol engine),

manually by pressing the switch

again.

Unfastening the seat belts

Seat belt unfastened/not fastened

warning light

SEAT BELTS

When the ignition is

switched on, the warning

light comes on if the driver

has not fastened his seat

belt.

With the engine running and the

doors closed, the light switches off

automatically after 30 seconds.

If the seat belt is unfastened:

- below 12 mph (20 km/h), the light

comes on continuously,

- above 12 mph (20 km/h) and for

two minutes, the warning light

ﬂashes accompanied by an audible

signal of increasing volume. Once

these two minutes have elapsed,

the warning light remains on until

the driver fastens his seat belt.

Press the red button on the stalk

then remove the buckle.

Pre-tensioning and force-

limiting front seat belts

Rear seat belts

The three rear seats are all ﬁtted with

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

The side seats are ﬁtted with force-

limiting devices.

To adjust the height of the front

seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impact

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning and force-lim-

iting front seat belts. Depending on

the seriousness of the impact, the

pre-tensioning system instantly tight-

ens the seat belt ﬁrmly against the

body of the occupant.

To lower the attachment point,

squeeze control 1 and slide it down-

wards.

To raise the attachment point, slide

control 1 upwards.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

Fastening the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the

buckle into the stalk.

Check that the seat belt is fas-

tened by pulling the strap

The force-limiting device reduces the

pressure of the seat belt against the

body of the occupant in the event of

an accident.

90

Wherever you are seated in

the vehicle, always fasten

your seat belt, even for short

journeys.

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,

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁfty,

- 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.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulﬁl 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 ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-

ment of the length of the strap to your

size. The seat belt is stored automat-

ically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the

seat belt is rolled up correctly.

- must not be transformed or modi-

ﬁed to avoid altering its perform-

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air

bags.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, all repairs and checks

must be carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer who guarantees that the work

is carried out correctly.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

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 ﬁtted with an au-

tomatic locking device which comes

into operation in the event of a colli-

sion or emergency braking. You can

release the device by pulling rapidly

on the strap and releasing it.

Have your seat belts checked

regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer and

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 rolled up correctly.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIR BAGS

FRONT AIR BAGS

Disarming the passenger

air bag*

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of serious collisions; they

work in conjunction with the force

limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronicdetectorsrecordandanalyse

any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:

if the triggering threshold is reached,

the air bags inﬂate instantly and pro-

tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their possible exit from the

vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in

collisions which are not serious, for

which the seat belt is sufﬁcient to

provide maximum protection.

The seriousness of the collision de-

pends on the nature of the obstacle

and the speed of the vehicle at the

moment of impact.

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pas-

senger air bag when you install a

rear-facing child seat on the front

passenger seat. Otherwise, the

child would risk being seriously

injured or killed if the air bag were

to inﬂate.

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in

the fascia for the front passenger.

They are deployed simultaneously,

except in cases where the air bag is

disarmed.

With the ignition switched off

insert the key into the passen-

ger air bag disarming switch 1

turn it to the "OFF" position, then

remove the key keeping the switch

in this position.

Front air bag malfunction

Air bags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

to have the system checked.

* According to country.

92

In the "OFF" position, the passen-

ger air bag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

SIDE AIR BAGS* AND

CURTAIN AIR BAGS*

As soon as the child seat is removed,

turn the air bag switch to the "ON"

position to re-activate the air bag and

thus ensure the safety of your pas-

senger in the event of an impact.

Disarming check

The side air bags are incorporated

into the front seat backs on the door

side.

The curtain air bags are incorporated

into the door pillars and the upper

part of the passenger compartment.

With the ignition on, this is

conﬁrmed by illumination of

this warning light which in-

dicates that the passenger

air bag is disarmed (switch

in the "OFF" position).

The warning light is lit throughout the

duration of disarming.

They are deployed independently of

each other depending on which side

the collision occurs.

Air bag fault

If the passenger air bag dis-

arming warning light ﬂashes,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

If this indicator light comes

on, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message

on the multi-function dis-

play, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system checked.

In the event of permanent lighting of

the two air bag warning lights, do not

install a rear facing child seat. Contact

a PEUGEOT dealer.

* According to country.

93

For the front, side* and

curtain* air bags to be

fully effective, observe the

following safety rules:

Front air bags

Side air bags*

• 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 fascia.

• Smoke as little as possible; deploy-

ment of the air bags can cause

burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

• Never remove or pierce the steer-

ing wheel or hit it violently.

• Only put approved covers on the

front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT

dealer.

• Do not ﬁx or glue anything to the

front seat backs. This could cause

injury to the chest or arms when the

side air bag is triggered.

• Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than

necessary.

• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

• Sit in a normal upright position.

• Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the air bags (child,

animal, object...). This could ham-

per the operation of the air bags or

injure the occupants.

• All work on the air bag systems is

strictly prohibited unless it is car-

ried out by qualiﬁed personnel of

the PEUGEOT network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken into,

have the air bag systems checked.

Curtain air bags*

• Do not ﬁx or glue anything to the

pillars or the roof. This could cause

injury to the head when the curtain

air bag inﬂates.

• Do not remove the bolts from the

grab handles installed on the roof,

they play a part in securing the cur-

tain air bags.

* According to country.
