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

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 deflated 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

replace the faulty sensor(s).

All repairs and changing of

tyres on a wheel fitted with

this system must be carried

out by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.

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.

The tyre under-inflation detection

system may experience temporary

interference due to radioelectric

emissions on a frequency close to

that used by the system.

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

fitted.

The spare wheel is not fitted with a

sensor.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

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 re-

sistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking efficiency.

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.

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 distribution, which can cause

a loss of control of the vehicle when

braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT

dealer.

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.

89

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, lo-

cated on the central section of the

fascia.

Operating check

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

systems depends on observation of

the manufacturer’s recommenda-

tions regarding the wheels (tyres

and rims), the braking components,

the electronic components and the

PEUGEOT assembly and operation

procedures.

After an impact, have the systems

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Operation of the ASR and ESP

systems

The switch lights up and

the warning light comes on:

the ASR and ESP systems

are disarmed.

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.

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.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the systems checked.

The warning light flashes if

the ASR or ESP is activated.

Unfastening the 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.

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.



Press the red button on the stalk

then remove the buckle.

Pre-tensioning and force-

limiting 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.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

The force-limiting device reduces the

pressure of the seat belt against the

body of the occupant in the event of

an accident.

91

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,

- must not be transformed or modi-

fied to avoid altering its perform-

ance.

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

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.

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 se-

cure 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 trig-

gered before and independently of

the air bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.

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.

* According to model.

AIR BAGS

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

electronic detectors record and ana-

lyse any abrupt deceleration of the

vehicle: if the triggering threshold is

reached, the air bags inflate instantly

and protect the occupants of the ve-

hicle.

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 depends

on the nature of the obstacle and the

speed of the vehicle at the moment

of impact.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

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.

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.


With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger

air bag disarming switch

1, turn

it to the

"OFF" position, then re-

move the key keeping the switch

in this position.

If this warning light comes

on, accompanied by a

buzzer and a message on

the multifunction display,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer

to have the system checked.

position to re-activate the air bag and

thus ensure the safety of your pas-

senger in the event of an impact.

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.

They are deployed independently of

each other depending on which side

the collision occurs.

This speed limiter, of the new gener-

ation, has a display on the instrument

panel to indicate the programmed

speed.

It prevents exceeding of the vehicle

speed programmed by the driver.

When the programmed speed is

reached, pressing the accelerator

pedal no longer has any effect.

The limiter operates with a pro-

grammed speed of at least 18 mph

(30 km/h); it remains active regard-

less of any action on the brake and

clutch pedals.

The operating actions must be

carried out:

- when stationary, with the engine

running,

or

- with the vehicle moving.

When the speed limiter function is

active, pressing this button displays

the distance recorders.

Note: the speed also flashes when

the limiter cannot prevent the vehi-

cle from exceeding the programmed

speed (on a steep descent, in the

event of sharp acceleration).

To reactivate the limiter, release the

accelerator to slow down to a speed

below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off


Place dial

1 in position 0 or switch

off. The last programmed speed

remains in the memory.

Operating fault

In the event of a limiter malfunction,

the programmed speed is cleared,

the dashes flash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

In the event of a steep descent

or sharp acceleration, the

speed limiter will not be able

to prevent the vehicle from ex-

ceeding the programmed speed.

In any event, the speed limiter cannot

replace the need to observe speed

limits, nor can it replace the need for

vigilance and responsibility on the

part of the driver.

To prevent the mat from becoming

caught under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly.

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Exceeding the programmed

speed

In exceptional circumstances, use

this mode to exceed the programmed

speed.

Pressing the accelerator in order to

exceed the programmed speed will

have no effect unless you press the

pedal

firmly beyond the point of re-

sistance.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the speed displayed on the instru-

ment panel flashes (e.g. at 70 mph

(110 km/h)):
