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.
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
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer
to the "Identifi cation markings" para-
graph) to ensure that the optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
wear of the tyres, particularly in ardu-
ous 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 radioelectric
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 on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to
locate 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 mes-
sage on the multifunction
screen locating 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 detec-
tion 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 on the multifunc-
tion screen, accompanied by an audible
signal, to locate the wheel or wheels
which are not detected or to indicate a
fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer 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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the electronic brake force distri-
bution system (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Definitions
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Trac-
tion Control) optimises traction in order
to avoid wheel slip by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine. It also improves the directional
stability of the vehicle on acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that re-
quired by the driver, the DSC monitors
each wheel and automatically acts on
the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to return the vehicle to
the required path, within the limits of the
laws of physics.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables
you to reach the optimum braking pres-
sure more quickly and therefore reduce
the stopping distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at
which the brake pedal is pressed. This
is felt by a reduction in the resistance of
the pedal and an increase in the effec-
tiveness of the braking.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution
system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and ma-
noeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and offers improved control, in particular
on poor or slippery road surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution
system manages the braking pressure
wheel by wheel. Operation
When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message, it indi-
cates that there is a malfunc-
tion of the ABS, which can cause a loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes
on, connected to the STOP
warning lamp, accompanied
by a buzzer and a message,
it indicates that there is a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD), which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and
braking system (EBFD)
Snow driving assistance (Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving
on snow:
Intelligent Traction Control.
This automatic system continuously
checks for situations of diffi cult surface
adhesion that could make it diffi cult to
move off or make progress on deep
fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, the Intelligent Trac-
tion Control system takes over from the

ASR system by optimising the amount
of wheel slip to provide the best trac-
tion and trajectory control, even without
snow tyres and with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow
on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can
be useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a degree of wheel spin
and so recover grip.

126
Dynamic stability control (DSC) The DSC system offers excep-
tional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive
at high speed.
The correct functioning of the system
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer's recommendations regard-
ing the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT as-
sembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
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 DSC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.
 Press the "ESP OFF" button.
This warning lamp and the
indicator lamp on the button
come on: the DSC system no
longer acts on the operation of
the engine.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back
on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, this indicates
a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
This is indicated by fl ashing
of this warning lamp on the in-
strument panel.
Activation
This system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
grip or trajectory problem.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate it manually.

seats in the event of a front impact. 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 chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in 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 fi tted with an auto-
matic locking device which comes into
operation in the event of a collision,
emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling fi rmly on the strap and re-
leasing it so that it re-winds slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
-
be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to avoid affecting its performance.
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 by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
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 reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

131
AIRBAGS
Triggering of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's airbag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is incorporated
in the dashboard above the glove box.
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of a
serious front impact 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 dash-
board to cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be triggered again.
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
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
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 centre
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.

Page 160 of 331

132
If at least one of the two airbag
warning lamps come on con-
tinuously, do not install a child
seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch
1 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 on 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, it is imperative that the
passenger's front airbag is
deactivated when you install a "rear
facing" child seat on the front pas-
senger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were triggered.
According to version, this
warning lamp comes on either
on the instrument panel or on
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,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The passenger's front airbag
may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:

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

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
