Driving -

HANDBRAKE

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to

immobilise your vehicle.

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.

Illumination of this warning

light and of the

STOP warn-

ing light, accompanied by

an audible signal (while the

vehicle is moving), indicates that the

handbrake is still applied or has not

been released fully.

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 mano-

evrability 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, 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 warning

lights, 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.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system ena-

bles the optimum braking pressure to

be reached more quickly, thus reduc-

ing 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 resist-

ance of the pedal and an increase in

braking efficiency.

Releasing

Pull the handle and press the button

to release the handbrake.

Driving

82 -

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

acting on the brakes of the drive

wheels and on the engine. It also al-

lows the directional stability of the ve-

hicle 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.

Disarming the ASR/ESP systems

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.

The warning light flashes if

the ASR or ESP is activated.

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

When a malfunction of the

systems occurs, the switch

light flashes and the warning

light comes on, accompanied

by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the systems checked.

Operating check

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),



manually by pressing the switch

again.

the required speed.

On a steep descent, the

cruise control will not be able

to prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed

speed.

The cruise control cannot, in any

case, take the place of observance of

the speed restrictions, or of the vigi-

lance or responsibility of the driver.

Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy traffic.

To prevent the mat from becoming

caught under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise control has a display on

the instrument panel to indicate the

programmed reference speed.

It enables the vehicle to maintain the

reference speed programmed by the

driver.

In order for it to be programmed or

activated, the vehicle speed must be

greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with

at least fourth gear engaged.

If the vehicle is fitted with a speed

limiter and cruise control, these func-

tions cannot be activated at the same

time.

The status of the function is displayed

on the instrument panel in accord-

ance with the following sequences:

Function selected, display-

ing of the "Cruise Control"

symbol.

Function deactivated,

OFF (example at 66 mph

(107 m/h)).

Function activated

(example at 66 mph

(107 km/h)).

Vehicle speed above (e.g.

73 mph (118 km/h)), the

programmed speed is dis-

played flashing.

Operating fault detected,

OFF - the dashes flash.

Selecting the function


Place the switch in the

CRUISE

position. The cruise control is se-

lected but is not yet active and no

speed has been programmed.

pressing the accelerator.



Press the

SET - or SET + button.

This programmes the reference

speed and the vehicle will maintain

this speed.

Temporary exceeding of the

speed

It is possible to

accelerate and drive

momentarily at a speed greater than

the programmed speed. The value

programmed flashes.

When the accelerator pedal is re-

leased, the vehicle will return to the

programmed speed.

87

Driving -

When changing the pro-

grammed reference speed

by means of a maintained

press, pay attention as the

speed can increase or decrease rap-

idly.

Do not use the cruise control on slip-

pery roads or in heavy traffic.

In the event of a steep slope, the

cruise control cannot prevent the

vehicle from exceeding the pro-

grammed speed.

In any event, the cruise control can-

not replace the need to observe the

speed limits, nor can it replace the

need for vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

To prevent the mat from becoming

trapped under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

SPEED LIMITER

This limiter indicates the status of

selection of the function on the in-

strument panel and displays the

programmed speed. The minimum

speed which can be programmed is

at least 18 mph (30 km/h).

It prevents exceeding of the speed

programmed by the driver, this func-

tion remains active regardless of any

action on the brake or clutch ped-

als. On the other hand, pressing the

accelerator pedal to the point of re-

sistance does not have any effect.

If the driver wishes to exceed the

programmed limit, he must force the

accelerator pedal travel beyond this

point of resistance.

Vehicles which are fitted with the lim-

iter function are also fitted with the

cruise control function but these two

functions cannot be activated at the

same time.

The operating actions must be

carried out when stationary, with

the engine running, or with the ve-

hicle moving.

The status of the function is displayed

on the instrument panel in accord-

ance with the following sequences:

Function selected, display-

ing of the "Speed Limiter"

symbol.

speed, pressing this button once acti-

vates the limiter and the programmed

speed is displayed, pressing the but-

ton again deactivates it (OFF).

85

Driving -

In any event, the speed limiter

cannot replace the need to ob-

serve speed limits, nor can it re-

place the need for vigilance and

responsibility on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the profile of

the road and take care on sharp ac-

celeration.

To prevent the mat from becoming

trapped under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Exceeding the programmed

speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in or-

der to exceed the programmed speed

will have no effect unless you press

the pedal

firmly beyond the point of

resistance.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the programmed speed which is

still displayed flashes.

To return to the limiter function, re-

duce your speed to the programmed

speed or below.



Place dial in position

0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the sys-

tem off. The last programmed

speed remains in the memory.

Flashing of the speed

The speed flashes:

- following forcing of the accelerator

point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an

increase in the vehicle speed due

to the profile of the road or on a

steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.

Operating fault

In the event of a limiter malfunction,

a message is displayed on the multi-

function display accompanied by an

audible signal.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING

ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four detec-

tors, located in the rear bumper, and

a special speaker which emits an au-

dible signal.

This detects any obstacle (person,

vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the

vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-

tect obstacles located just below the

bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a road-

works cone or any other similar ob-

ject may be detected at the begin-

ning of the manoeuvre, but may no

longer be detected when the vehicle

comes close to it.

Detection zone

Detection

The system is activated as soon as

reverse gear is engaged.

The proximity detection is emitted by

a buzzer which becomes increasingly

rapid then by a continuous sound as

the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

When the distance between the rear

of the vehicle and the obstacle is less

than thirty centimetres, the audible

signal becomes continuous.

On completion of the manoeuvre,

when you exit reverse gear, the sys-

tem becomes inactive.

Temporary deactivation

During the manoeuvre, press button

A to deactivate the system temporar-

ily (child asleep in the rear...).

Prolonged deactivation

With the ignition on, press button

A

for more than four seconds to deacti-

vate the system permanently. The in-

dicator light on the button is switched

off, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal. The system becomes active

again after the ignition has been

switched off.

Note: this function must be deacti-

vated when towing a trailer or when a

bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted

with a towbar or bicycle carrier rec-

ommended by PEUGEOT).

Operating fault

If there is an operating fault, the in-

dicator light flashes, accompanied

by an audible signal which will be a

short bleep followed by a long bleep,

when changing to reverse gear.

Reactivation

Press button

A again to reactivate

the system. The indicator light on the

button is switched on, accompanied

by an audible signal.

In bad or wintry weather, en-

sure that the sensors are not

covered with mud, frost or

snow.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have

been designed

to maximise the safety of the occu-

pants in the event of serious colli-

sions. They work in conjunction with

the pretensioning seat belts.

The electronic detectors register and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-

old is reached, the air bags inflate in-

stantly and protect 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 exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in the

case of minor collisions, for which the

seat belt is sufficient to ensure maxi-

mum protection. The seriousness of

a collision depends on the nature of

the obstacle and the speed of the ve-

hicle 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.

Front air bag fault

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the steer-

ing wheel for the driver and in the fascia

for the front passenger. They are deployed

simultaneously, except in cases where

the passenger air bag is disarmed.

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 be-

ing killed or seriously injured 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 slot in

this position.

The air bag warning light on

the instrument panel is lit

throughout the period of dis-

arming.

If this warning light comes on on

the instrument panel, accom-

panied by an audible signal,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to

have the system checked.

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.

Disarming check

This is confirmed by an indicator

light, accompanied by a message on

the multifunction display.

With the ignition on (2nd notch),

illumination of this warning light

accompanied by a message

on the multifunction display, in-

dicates that the passenger air

bag is disarmed (switch in the

"OFF" position).

SIDE AIR BAGS*

These are incorporated into the

frame of the front seat backs, on the

door side.

They are deployed independently

of each other depending on which

side the collision occurs, in collisions

which could cause injury to the chest,

the abdomen or the head.

Air bag fault

If this warning light comes on,

accompanied by an audible

signal, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system

checked.

If the two air bag warning

lights are lit continuously, do

not install a rear-facing child

seat. Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

For the front and side* air

bags to be fully effective,

observe 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 operation

of the air bags or injure the occu-

pants.

• 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.

Front 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.

Side air bags*
• 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 inflates.

• Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than

necessary.
