Disarming the front passenger's
front air bag
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to disarm the passenger air
bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Other-
wise, the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the air bag were to in-
fl ate.

 With the ignition switched off , in-
sert the key into the passenger air

"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.

event of a serious side impact in order
to limit the risk of injury to the chest.
The side air bag is incorporated in the
seat back frame, on the door side. When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on the
instrument panel for the dura-
tion of disarming.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible

For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
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 vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag
infl ates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the triggering of
the side air bags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

SAFETY
62
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 keep-
ing the slack in relation to the
child's body to a minimum , even
for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely 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 "forward facing"
position on the front passenger
seat, unless the rear seats are al-
ready occupied by other children,
cannot be used or are absent. 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:
- one or more 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, 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.
CHILD SAFETY LOCK
On each rear door this prevents opening
of the door from the inside.
Turn switch 1 an eighth turn (45 degrees)
towards the inside of the vehicle using
the ignition key.
Check that the safety lock is engaged
correctly. The switch 1 should no longer
be in the vertical position.

PARKING BRAKE
Mechanical brake to hold the vehicle
when stationary.
Applying

 Pull the parking brake to immobilise
your vehicle. When the vehicle is being driv-
en, if this warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-function

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of fourth gear.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever
A .

1. Cruise control mode selection dial

2. Speed programming/value decrease

3. Speed programming/value increase
button

4. Cruise control off/resume button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel display.

The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

Programming

 Turn dial 1 to the "CRUISE" po-
sition: the cruise control mode is
selected but is not switched on
(OFF).
Exceeding the programmed speed
Intentional or unintentional exceeding of the programmed
speed results in fl ashing of this speed on the display.
Return to the programmed speed, by means of intentional or
unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically ca n-
cels the fl ashing of the speed.
Return to normal driving

 Turn dial 1 to the "0" position: the cruise control mode is
deselected. The display returns to the distance rec order.

 Set the programmed speed by ac-
celerating to the required speed,
then press button 2 or 3 (e.g.: 70 mph
(110 km/h)).

 Switch off the cruise control by pressing button 4 : the
display confi rms that it has been switched off (OFF).

 Switch the cruise control back on by pressing button 4
again.
You can then change the programmed speed using buttons

2 and 3 :
- by + or - 1 mph (km/h) = short press,
- by + or - 5 mph (km/h) = long press,
- in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press. Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in
fl ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the cruise control is switched
on, be careful if you maintain the
pressure on one of the programmed
speed changing buttons: this may
result in a very rapid change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffi c.
On a steep descent, the cruise
control will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is posi-tioned correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
