SAFETY -

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
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.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system enables
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 effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,

press fi rmly without releasing the

pressure.
Depending on the force of the de-
celeration, the hazard warning lights
are switched on automatically. They
are switched off automatically on
acceleration.

When

this

warning

light

comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-

function 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 warning light, accom-
panied 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.

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

fi rmly without releasing the pressure.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) 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 the front and side impacts suf-
fered in the impact detection zones
(see diagram): in the event of a

serious impact, the air bags infl ate

instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger).

FRONT AIR BAGS

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, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact
zone A in the longitudinal centreline,
on a horizontal plane and from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.

The air bag infl ates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
In this way, the air bags limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.

If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.

Front air bag malfunction

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags defl ate 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, rear
impacts or in certain roll-over con-

ditions. The seat belt is suffi cient to

provide maximum protection in these
situations.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.

Note: the triggering of an air bag or
air bags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This gas may cause slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.

SAFETY -

Disarming the passenger air

bag

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 killed or se-

riously injured if the air bag were

to infl ate.


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 slot in
this position.

The air bag warning light
on the instrument panel is
lit throughout the period of
disarming.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on (2nd notch),
illumination of this warning light
indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (switch in
the "OFF" position).

Disarming check

This is confi rmed by an indicator

light.

For the front air bags

to be fully effective, ob-

serve the following safety

rules:

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 hamper the opera-
tion of the air bags or injure the
occupants.

All work on the air bag systems

is strictly prohibited unless it is

carried out by qualifi ed person-

nel of the PEUGEOT network.

After an accident or if the vehi-

cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag systems
checked.

Do not drive holding the steer-

ing wheel by its spokes or rest-
ing your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.

Passengers must not place their

feet on the fascia.

Smoke as little as possible;

deployment of the air bags can
cause burns or the risk of injury
from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the

steering wheel or hit it violently.

If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously,
do not install a rear-facing
child

seat.

Consult

a

PEUGEOT dealer.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt height adjustment:
-

to lower: pull the control towards
you and slide it downwards,

-

to raise: slide the control upwards.

To fasten the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into
the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.

Front seat belts with

pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the
occupant in the event of an accident.

Rear seat belts
The three rear seats are fi tted with

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

75

SAFETY -

The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-

strained before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulfi l 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 fi tted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment 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 fi tted with an

automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.

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 modifi 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 regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly 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
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre

fi fty,

-

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.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts , the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags. Triggering of the pre-ten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if nec-
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid must be changed

according to the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 stan-

dards.
Note:

brake fl uid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.

Used oil

Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid or

coolant into drains or onto the ground.

Dipstick

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.

Cooling system

Use the fl uid recommended by the

manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.

Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the en-

gine at ambient temperature. The
level should always be above the
MIN. mark and close to the MAX.
mark.

Windscreen wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products recommended by PEUGEOT.

Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top

up between changes. The maxi-
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
