SAFETY








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 install
a wheel which is not detected by
your vehicle (example: fi tting of snow
tyres), you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

This system does not avoid
the need to have the tyre pres-
sures checked regularly (refer
to the "Identifi cation markings" sec-
tion) to ensure that the optimum dy-
namic performance of the vehicle is
maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ar-
duous driving 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 electromagnetic
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
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fi tted with a sensor.

This warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.

This check must be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
Under-infl ated tyre
The STOP
warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen identifying the
wheel concerned.


)
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden 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 detec-
tion system is an aid to driv-
ing 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 multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to identify the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a
fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).

This message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-
ing repaired) or when one or more
wheels without a sensor are fi tted.

SEAT BELTS

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 a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens 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 chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.

SAFETY
If even one of the two airbag
warning lamps comes on con-
tinuously, do not install a child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



Operating fault

serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if
the passenger's front airbag is
activated. To assure the safety of your
child, the passenger's front
airbag must be deactivated
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 airbag
were deployed.
According to version, this
warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and/or in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps
display when the ignition is on and until
the airbag is reactivated. If this warning lamp fl ashes in
the instrument panel and/or in

DRIVING

The electric parking brake combines
2 operational modes:


- Automatic application/release

Application is automatic when the
engine stops, release is automatic
on use of the accelerator (activated
by default),

- Manual application/release

The parking brake can be applied/
released manually by pulling control
lever A
.






ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

Deactivation is recommended
in particularly cold conditions
(ice) and during towing (break-
down, caravan...). Refer to the
"Manual release" paragraph.

Programming the mode
Depending on the country of registration
of the vehicle, the automatic application
when the engine is switched off and the
automatic release when you press the
accelerator can be deactivated.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
the automatic mode is deac-
tivated. Activation/deactivation of
this function is possible by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The parking brake is then applied and
released manually. When the driver's
door is opened, there is an audible sig-
nal and a message is displayed if the
brake is not applied.

Do not place any object (packet
of cigarettes, telephone, ...) be-
hind the electric brake control.
