ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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 keeping

the slack
in relation to the child's
body to a minimum
, even for short
journeys.
To install a child seat with the seat
belt, check that the belt has tight-
ened on the child seat and that the
child seat is held fi rmly against the
vehicle's seat. If your passenger
seat is adjustable, move it forwards
if necessary.
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.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder with-
out 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 tted
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.

Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless the
rear seats are already occupied by other
children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child seats which can be installed in
your vehicle, refer to the table show-
ing the locations for installing ISOFIX
child seats.
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in ac-
cordance with the latest
ISOFIX regu-
lation

s
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings: There are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a label,

- a ring B
, behind the seat, referred to
as the TOP TETHER
for fi xing the
upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are easily secured on
the two rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap
which
is attached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle
seat's head restraint then pass the hook
between its rods. Then fi x the hook on
ring B
and tighten the upper strap.

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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
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 or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 perform-
ance 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. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
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 in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, 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 in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in 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 in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop 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.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS *

Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

-
emergency braking assistance (EBA).



Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunc-
tion of the anti-lock braking system
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and
ABS
warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.










Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking pressure
more quickly, thus reducing the stopping
distance.

*
According to country.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking effi ciency.
When braking in an emergency,
press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.

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.
