SAFETY

Sensors i tted 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 message

on the multifunction display lo-

cating the wheel concerned.

Check the tyre pressures as soon as

possible. This check must be carried

out when the tyres are cold.

Puncture
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 del ated tyre), and have

the tyre pressure checked as soon

as possible.

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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-

place the faulty sensor(s).

Flat tyre

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

Notes:
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

i tted.

The spare wheel is not i tted with a

sensor.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

All repairs and changing of tyres

on a wheel i tted with this sys-

tem must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you

install a wheel which is not de-

tected by your vehicle (example:

i tting of snow tyres), you must

have the system reinitialised by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inl ation detec-

tion system is an aid to driving

which does not replace the need

for the driver to be vigilant or to

drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate

the need to have the tyre pres-

sure checked regularly (see
manufacturer’s label on the

door pillar) to ensure that the

optimum dynamic performance

of the vehicle is maintained 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. Remember to check the

pressure of the spare wheel.

The tyre under-inl ation detec-

tion system may experience

temporary interference due to

radioelectric emissions on a fre-

quency close to that used by the

system.

72

SAFETY

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

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.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT

dealer.

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system en-

ables the optimum braking pressure

to be reached more quickly, thus re-

ducing the stopping distance.

It is triggered by the speed at which

the brake pedal is activated. The ef-

fect of this is a reduction in the resis-

tance of the pedal and an increase in

braking efi ciency.

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.

When this warning light

comes on, connected to

the STOP and ABS

warn-

ing lights, accompanied by

a buzzer and a message, it

indicates that there is a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribu-

tion, which can cause a loss of con-

trol of the vehicle when braking.

Normal operation of the ABS may

make itself felt by slight vibrations

of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press

very i rmly without releasing the

pressure.

!

73

SAFETY

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)

These systems are linked and com-

plement 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.

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.
 Press the "ESP OFF"

switch,

located on the central section of
the fascia.

Operating check

Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems

The switch lights up and

the warning light comes on:

the ASR and ESP systems
are disarmed.

Reactivation


Automatic if the ignition is switched

off.



Automatic above 30 mph (50 km/h).



Manual by pressing the switch

again.

When a malfunction of the

systems occurs, the switch

light l ashes and the warn-

ing light comes on, accom-

panied by an audible signal

and a message on the multifunction

display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.

When the ignition is on, the ASR and

ESP systems are always active.

Disarming

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 compo-

nents, the electronic components

and the PEUGEOT assembly and

operation procedures.

After an impact, have the sys-

tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems

The warning light l ashes

buckle into the stalk.

 Check that the seat belt is

fastened by pulling the strap.

Unfastening the seat belts

When the ignition is switched

on, the warning light comes

on if the driver has not fas-
tened his seat belt.

With the engine running and the

doors closed, the warning light goes

off automatically after 30 seconds.
If the seat belt is unfastened:

- below 12 mph (20 km/h),

the warning light comes on

constantly,

- above 12 mph (20 km/h) and

for two minutes, the warning

light l ashes 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.

Seat belt unfastened/not
fastened warning light

Pre-tensioning and force-
limiting front seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal

impact has been improved by

the introduction of pre-tension-

ing and force-limiting front seat

belts. Depending on the serious-

ness of the impact, the pre-ten-

sioning system instantly tightens

the seat belt i rmly against the

body of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduc-

es the pressure of the seat belt

against the body of the occupant

in the event of an accident.

!

!

75

SAFETY

The two rear seats are both i tted

with three-point inertia reel seat belts

with force-limiting devices.

Slide the straps in the guides 1 to

prevent l uttering of the rear seat

belts in cabriolet mode.

Rear seat belts

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even

for short journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will not fuli l their role fully.

The seat belts are i 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 rolled up 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 i 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 rapidly on the strap and releas-

ing it.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:

- must be tightened as close to the body as possible,

- must restrain one person of adult size 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 modii ed to avoid altering its performance.

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.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer and particu-

larly 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.

Remove the straps from the

guides 1 before use.

SAFETY

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of violent collisions. They

supplement 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 detec-

tion zones:

- in the event of a serious impact,

the air bags are deployed

instantaneously and protect

the occupants of the vehicle;

immediately after the impact, the

air bags del ate rapidly so that

they do not hinder the visibility of

the occupants or their possible

exit from the vehicle,

- in the event of a minor impact

or rear impact and in certain

roll-over conditions, the air bags

will not be deployed; the seat

belt alone is sufi cient to provide

maximum protection in these

situations.

A.

Front impact zone.

B.

Side impact zone.

The deployment of one or

more air bags is accompanied

by a slight discharge of harm-

less smoke and a noise, due

to the activation of the pyro-

technic cartridge incorporated

in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but

sensitive individuals may ex-

perience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation
may result in a slight loss of
hearing for a short time.

Recommendations for
children
Use a suitable child seat if the

passenger is less than 12 years

old or shorter than one metre

i fty.
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 inde-

pendently of the air bags. Trig-

gering of the pre-tensioners is

accompanied by a slight dis-

charge of harmless smoke and

a noise, due to the activation of

the pyrotechnic cartridge incor-

porated in the system.

In all cases, the air bag warning

light comes on.
Following an impact, have the

seat belts system checked,

and if necessary replaced, by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates

once. If a second impact occurs

(during the same or a subse-

quent accident), the air bag will

not operate.
