home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.











Automatic illumination of headlamps

The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically, with-
out any action on the part of the driver, when
a low level of external light is detected (sen-
sor behind the rear view mirror) or when the
windscreen wipers are switched on.
As soon as the brightness returns to a suf-
fi cient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lighting is switched off
automatically.

"Guide-me-home" lighting

SAFETY
97
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 ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate 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 in-
strument panel and the indicator 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,
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-slip 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 in the instru-
ment panel.

The anti-slip 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.

SEAT BELTSROLL-OVER BARS
System which protects all of the oc-
cupants restrained by their seat belt
should the vehicle roll over.
The roll-over bars are built into the back
of the rear bench seat. Their presence
is indicated by the words "Rollover Pro-
tection".

Activation

They are triggered simultaneously
should the vehicle roll over.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
to have the system checked.
In order to guarantee the correct opera-
tion and the deployment of the roll-over
bars if roll-over is detected, the follow-
ing conditions must be complied with:


- no accessory which is not recom-
mended by PEUGEOT should be
in contact with or fi xed to the roll-
over bars,

- no object should block or stop the
movement of the roll-over bars,

- the area above the roll-over bars
should be clear of any objects.



Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of front impacts. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the occupant's chest.
This improves their protection.

AIRBAGS
The airbags 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 detection
zones:


- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantane-
ously and protect the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibil-
ity of the occupants or their possible
exit from the vehicle,

- in the event of a minor impact or
rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is suffi -
cient to provide maximum protection
in these situations.



The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is off.

This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not operate.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.










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 fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Operation
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, 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. The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

SAFETY
102
To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger's
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall a "rear facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or in the cen-
tral panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reac-
tivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch 1
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so assure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.

Stopping the vehicle

Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P
or N
to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle.

Operating fault

There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,

- if you force the movement of
the gear lever from the P
posi-
tion to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N
position and
apply the parking brake.


Manual operation



)
Select position M
for sequential

changing of the four gears.

)
Push the lever towards the +
sign to
change up a gear.

)
Pull the lever towards the -
sign to
change down a gear.

D
disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low
or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the ac-
tual gear engaged is displayed.
It is possible to change from position D

(automatic) to position M
(manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or mov-
ing very slowly, the gearbox selects
gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the lever is not in position P
, when
the driver's door is opened or ap-
proximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, a message
appears in the multifunction screen.


)
Return the lever to position P
;
the message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a
gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two posi-
tions).
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gear-
box fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is 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), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop as soon as possible.
