ticket holder.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET
WINDOWS
Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or car
park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the rear view mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of the
athermic windscreen.
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists
of a refl ective layer, which also
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, ...).

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically 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 pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the "Technical information - Identi-
fi cation markings" page) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perfor-
mance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-mag-
netic signals 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 in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen locat-
ing the wheel concerned.

 Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

 Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured 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
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion 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.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.

!
SAFETY
103
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 sys-
tems 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, locat-
ed 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).

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
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, within
the limits of the laws of physics. 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.

AIRBAGS The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not operate. 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 simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is de-
activated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front im-
pact 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.
Triggering of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
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
airbags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags 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
airbags will not be triggered; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.

Front airbags
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 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.
Lateral airbags *
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the infl ation of the
lateral 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 lateral 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.
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.
