CHILD SAFETY

Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, fi t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

-

a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

-

the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the

"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the

rear windows.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or

the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat

and that it secures the child seat fi rmly

on the seat of your vehicle.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forwards-facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Deactivate

the passenger

airbag

when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to infl ate.

SAFETY

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving.

All repairs and changing of tyres on

a wheel fi tted with this system must

be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected

by your vehicle (example: fi tting

of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the

"Identifi cation markings" section) to

ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained 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. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection

system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a

warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon

as possible.

This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.

Flat tyre

The STOP warning lamp comes
on and/or this warning lamp
is displayed on the instrument
panel, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned.

 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,

avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

 Repair or change the damaged

wheel (punctured or very defl ated

tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation 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 warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied

by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

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 fi tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a

spare wheel, this is not fi tted with

a sensor.

SAFETY

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

-

electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

-

emergency

braking

assistance

(EBA).

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,

press very fi rmly without releasing

the pressure.

When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a

malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.

If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a

message on the multifunction screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic brake force distribution which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.

Activation
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 vibration of the brake
pedal.

Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking effi ciency.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

When braking in an emergency,

press fi rmly without releasing the

pressure.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE
CALL

This system allows you to make an
emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated
PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this
function, refer to the "Audio and tele-
matics" section.

!

SAFETY

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 components,
the electronic components and the
repair and assembly procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Disarming
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" button, located

in the centre of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator lamp on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.

Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h)
(except in the case of the 1.6 l THP 16V
175 bhp petrol engine).
 Press the "ESP OFF" button again

to reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.

Have the systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)

This is indicated by fl ashing of

this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.

132

SAFETY

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-

tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.

Fastening

Unfastening
 Press the red button on the buckle.
 Guide the seat belt as it reels in.

Height adjustment

 Pull the strap, then insert the tongue

in the buckle.

 Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

 To lower the attachment point,

squeeze the control A and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point, slide
