SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releas-
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alternately
on the instrument panel display.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel display, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lights come on, linked
with the warnings on the instrument panel
display, they indicate a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the ve-
hicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
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. The warning light comes on for
a few seconds when the ignition
is switched on (ON position). If it
does not switch off or does not
come on, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the
vehicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
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.

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 impact. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly
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 oc-
cupant, so increasing their protection.

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 subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not operate. Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver's air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's air bag is incorporated
in the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part
of the front impact zone
A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
front to the rear of the vehicle.

The front air bag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his 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 pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience 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 im-
pact 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 cen-
tre 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.

SAFETY
If the air bag warning light and
the display come on continuous-
ly, do not install a "rear facing"
child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on on the
instrument panel and this display ap-
pears on the instrument panel display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked. The air bags may no
longer be triggered in the event of a se-
rious impact.
To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the
passenger air bag is disarmed
when you install a "rear facing"
child seat on the front passen-
ger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed
if the air bag were triggered.
This warning light comes on on the centre
console front panel when the ignition is on
and until the air bag is re-armed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
A to the "ON" position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
The associated warning light switches off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's air bag can
be disarmed:

 with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag disarming
switch A ,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 remove the key.

DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope

Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the handbrake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the hand-
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .

"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear. Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
D .

"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on
the part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
"Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can
resume control temporarily at any time
using the steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...). Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you can:
- move to position
N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- leave a gear engaged, such as fi rst or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message

"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
display, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.

Press the brake pedal fi rmly
while starting the engine.
Start the engine. "N" appears on the in-
strument panel display.
Select fi rst gear (position D or +/- ) or re-
verse (position R ).

Release the brake pedal then accelerate.

"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel display. The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
At low speeds, when approaching a
stop or traffi c lights for example, the
gearbox changes down to fi rst gear au-
tomatically.
