TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the"Identifi cation markings" para-
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehi-
cle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature wear of the tyres, particu-
larly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnet-
ic emissions on a frequency close
to that used by the system.
Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction.
The speed has to be above 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Flat tyre
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion 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.
This warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen locating the
wheel concerned.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden ediate
the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punc-tured or very defl ated tyre), and Change the damaged wheel (punc-
have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audi-
ble 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).

SAFETY
108
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
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Deactivation
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) (ex-
cept in the case of the 1.6 l 16V THP
175 hp 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 them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Steering/ESP coupling system
(SSP)
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. This system optimises the stability of
the vehicle and its braking capacity by
combining the actions of the ESP and
electric power steering when braking on
surfaces on which the grip of the right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.
It permits increased braking of the
wheels which are in contact with the
section of road offering the higher level
of grip and, anticipating the instability of
the vehicle, the application of a slight
correction to the turning angle of the
wheels to assist the driver in maintain-
ing his trajectory.

AIR BAGS Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s airbag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger’s airbag is incorporated
in the dashboard above the glove box.
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultaneous-
ly, unless the passenger’s front airbag
is deactivated, 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 vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the front to the
rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
System designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. It supplements the action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-tectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instantly and protect the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the air bags defl ate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the air bags will not be triggered; the seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-vide optimum protection in these situations.

!
SAFETY
115
For the airbags 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 airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned above are observed, a risk of
injury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is trig-
gered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag infl ates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas via
the openings provided for this pur-
pose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side airbags *
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the infl ation of the
side airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the side airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nea rer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags *
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag infl ates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the ro of, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
* According to country.
