Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fitted with an iner-
tia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to
your size. The seat belt is stored
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision or emergency braking.
You can release the device by pulling
rapidly on the strap and releasing it. In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it
does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modi- fied to avoid altering its perform-
ance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly, or if the straps show signs of
damage, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.
The two rear seats are both fitted
with three-point inertia reel seat belts
with force-limiting devices.
Slide the straps in the guides
1 to
prevent fluttering of the rear seat
belts in cabriolet mode.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions; they
work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and ana-
lyse any abrupt deceleration of the
vehicle: if the triggering threshold is
reached, the air bags inflate instantly
and protect the occupants of the
vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message on
the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
Front air bag malfunction
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the pas- senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Depending on the nature and seri-
ousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if nec-
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Disarming check
The side air bags are incorporated in
the backs of the front seats, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side the
collision occurs.
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the air bag were to inflate.

For the front and side air
bags to be fully effective,
observe the following
safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• 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 occu-
pants.
• All work on the air bag systems is strictly forbidden unless it is carried
out by qualified personnel of the
PEUGEOT network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked. Front air bags
• 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 fascia.
• Smoke as little as possible, deploy- ment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or a pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steer- ing wheel or hit it violently. Side air bags
• Only put approved covers on the
front seats. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms when the
side air bag inflates.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
from position P:

it is essential to press the brake
pedal,
 release the handbrake,

select position R, D or M, then
gradually release the pressure
on the brake pedal; the vehicle
moves off immediately.
You can also move off from position N.
When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if posi-
tion R, D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave chil-
dren unsupervised inside the vehi-
cle, with the engine running .
If the lever is not in position P, an
audible signal is heard and a mes-
sage appears when the driver's
door is opened or approximately
45 seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
Move the lever to P. The audible sig-
nal stops and the message disap-
pears. When maintenance opera-
tions need to be carried out
with the engine running,
apply the handbrake and
select position
P. Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery sur-
face.
Sport and snow programmes
In addition to the auto-adaptive pro-
gramme, there are two special pro-
grammes.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
Sport programme
 Press button S once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox automatically favours
sporty driving and more dynamic
acceleration.
Snow programme
This programme improves starting
and drive when traction is poor.
 Press button
 once the engine
has been started.
The gearbox adapts to driving on
slippery roads.
Note: you can return to the auto-
adaptive programme at any time.
 Press button S or
 again to
switch off the programme you are
in.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four
gears:
 select position D in the gate.
The gearbox automatically adapts
the gear in relation to the style of
driving, the road profile and the vehi-
cle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any
action on your part.
For immediate maximum accelera-
tion without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-
box will automatically change down
or maintain the gear selected until
maximum engine speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox will auto-
matically change down in order to
provide efficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accel-
erator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change to a higher gear for reasons
of safety.
