Peugeot 407 C Dag (2008 year). Instruction — part 7

Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten your
seat belt, even for short jour-
neys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulﬁ l their role fully.

The seat belts are ﬁ 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 ﬁ tted with an au-

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle 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 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 modiﬁ ed

to avoid altering its performance.

In accordance with current safety regu-
lations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried 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 passen-
ger is less than 12 years old or shorter

than one metre ﬁ fty.
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 se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge 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 necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement 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 instantane-
ously and protect the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the air bags deﬂ ate rapidly

so that they do not hinder the visi-
bility of the occupants or their pos-
sible 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

sufﬁ cient to provide maximum pro-

tection in these situations.

Front air bags

The front air bags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
They are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger.

The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact oc-

curs (during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.

Impact detection zones

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 pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front air bag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag inﬂ ates between

the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.

In the event of a malfunction

If this warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.

Instrument panel warning light.

Disarming the front
passenger's front 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 seriously in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to

inﬂ ate.
 With the ignition switched off, in-

sert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position.

Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.

* According to country.

When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on
the instrument panel for the
duration of disarming.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.

The steering column air bag protects

the driver's knees in the event of a

serious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below

the steering column.

Steering column air bag

Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.

Front side air bags

The side air bags protect the driver
and passengers in the event of a se-
rious side impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated into
the front seat back.

Activation
The side air bags are deployed inde-
pendently of each other in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-
treline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.
The side air bag inﬂ ates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.

In the event of a malfunction

* According to country.

Impact detection zones

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

The curtain air bags protect the driver
and passengers in the event of a se-
rious side impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper part
of the passenger compartment.

Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding side air bags in the
event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-
treline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle.
The curtain air bag inﬂ ates between

the front or rear occupant of the vehi-
cle and the windows.

In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the
vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the air bag may not be
deployed.

In the event of a front or rear collision,
the air bag is not deployed.

Steering column air bag *
-

Do not sit with your knees any
nearer to the steering wheel than
necessary.

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 stee-
ring wheel or hit it violently.

* According to country.

Front side air bags
-

Only put approved covers on the
seats. These will not hamper the
deployment of the side air bags.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

- Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the

seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side

air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Curtain air bags
- Do not ﬁ x or glue anything to the

pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain

air bag inﬂ ates.

Do not remove the grab handles in-
stalled on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain air bags.

For the air bags to be fully ef-
fective, 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
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehi-
cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag systems
checked.

All work on the air bag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is car-

ried out by qualiﬁ ed personnel of

the PEUGEOT network.

Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms, when an air bag is
deployed, cannot be ruled out. The

bag inﬂ ates almost instantly (within

a few milliseconds) then deﬂ ates

within the same time discharging
the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.

'PORSCHE TIPTRONIC
SYSTEM' AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX

The six speed automatic gearbox
offers, as required, the comfort of the
auto-adaptive programme enhanced
by a selection suited to dynamic
driving conditions: sport, or to driving
on a slippery road: snow.
However, manual selection is still pos-
sible using the gear lever.

Moving Off

With the engine running, move off from
position P :
 to exit position P, it is essential

to press the brake pedal,

 select position R , D or M , then

gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.

To move off from position N :
 with your foot on the brake, release

the handbrake,

 select position R , D or M , then

gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.

Starting the engine

 with the handbrake on, select posi-

tion P or N in the gate,

 turn the ignition key.

Always keep your foot on the
brake on a steep incline.
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if posi-

tion R , D or M is selected, the vehicle
moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
Do not leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle, with position
R, D or M selected, with the en-
gine running, as the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.

With the ignition off, if the
lever is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard when
the driver's door is opened, or

after approximately 45 seconds. Move
the lever to position P . The audible
signal ceases.

When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running, apply
the handbrake and select the
P ark position.

Sport and Snow programmes

These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.

It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,

the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or
moving very slowly, the gearbox auto-
matically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.

Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning light, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-func-
tion display.

In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear).
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R
(this will not cause any damage to the
gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) or

sage on the multifunction
display.

Select automatic operation and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Operating check
This is conﬁ rmed by the switch light

and the indicator lights.

ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION

The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and the
vehicle's road holding capabilities. The
suspension favours smooth shock
absorption, ensuring a comfortable
ride, but as soon as conditions demand
a change (sporty driving, tight bends,
avoidance action, etc.) it automatically

selects ﬁ rmer shock absorption, guaran-

teeing optimum road holding.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED
LIMITER

Selecting the function
 Place switch 1 in the CRUISE po-

sition. The cruise control is not
yet active and no speed has been
memorised. The display indicates:

Switching the function off
 Place switch 1 in position 0 or

clutch pedal. The display indicates
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

Activation/memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3 . This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. The display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

On a steep descent, the cruise
control, which does not act on
the brakes, is not able to pre-
vent the vehicle from excee-
ding the programmed speed.

In no circumstances does the cruise control
replace the requirement to respect speed
limits, nor does it replace the need for vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
We recommend that your feet remain
near the pedals.

Cruise control function

This enables the vehicle to maintain
a steady speed programmed by the
driver
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth
gear engaged (second gear for the
automatic gearbox), with the engine
running .

Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the

manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated.

Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,

the dashes ﬂ ash for a few seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

On a steep descent or if the
driver accelerates sharply, the
speed limiter, which does not
act on the brakes, is not able

to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the speed
limiter replace the requirement to re-
spect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain vigilant and
stay in complete control of his vehicle.

Limiter function

This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).

Exceeding the programmed speed
Additional pressing of the accelera-
tor to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless the pedal is

pressed ﬁ rmly (passing the point of

resistance ).
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and displays the programmed speed

VISUAL AND AUDIBLE FRONT
AND/OR REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE

This system consists of proximity sen-
sors:
-

six in the front bumper,

and/or
-

four in the rear bumper.

It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, gate, etc.) in front of or be-
hind the vehicle. However, it cannot
detect obstacles located directly under
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, cone or any
other similar object may be detected
at the beginning of the manoeuvre but
may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

The proximity of the obstacle is indi-
cated by:
-

an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle ap-
proaches the obstacle,

a graphic on the multifunction
display, with blocks which become
increasingly close to the vehicle.

The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; that is, front or rear and
right or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears
on the multifunction display.
The system becomes inactive again:
-

when you exit reverse gear,

when the speed is above 6 mph
(10 km/h),

at the end of the manoeuvre, when
stationary, after a few seconds
(front parking assistance only).

Detection zone

To guarantee optimum opera-
tion, in bad weather or in win-
ter, ensure that the sensors
are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

The system is deactivated if
the vehicle is stationary for
more than 3 seconds.

Detection

The system is activated when:
-

reverse gear is engaged,

the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.

It is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction display.

Deactivation

Press button A to deactivate the sys-
tem (child asleep in the rear...). The in-
dicator light on the button comes on.

Note: this function will be de-
activated automatically when
a trailer is being towed (vehi-

cle ﬁ tted with a towbar recom-

mended by PEUGEOT ).

Reactivation

Press button A again to reactivate the
system. The indicator light on the button
is switched off.

If there is an operating fault,
