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 pressures
checked regularly (refer to the
"Identifi cation markings" section) to en-
sure that the optimum dynamic perfor-
mance of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember 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 multifunc-
tion 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 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 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 quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).

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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESC)
Electronic Stability Programme (ESC:
Electronic Stability Control) incorporating
the following systems:


- the anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),

- the emergency braking assistance,

- the anti-slip regulation (ASR) or
traction control,

- 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 (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking and offers improved control in
corners, 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.

When this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message,
it indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS, which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

When this warning lamp
comes on, coupled with the
STOP
warning lamp, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that there
is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to
do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that
these are approved for your
vehicle.
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
electronic brake force distribution
(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, Intelligent Traction
Control
limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide the best traction and trajectory control.

In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,
mud…), it can be useful to temporarily de-
activate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on
surfaces offering low levels of adhesion.

131
















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 manu-
facturer's recommendations regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking
components, the electronic components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and op-
eration procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.








Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on
soft ground...), it may be advisable to deac-
tivate the DSC system, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button.
This warning lamp and the indi-
cator lamp in the button come
on: the DSC system no longer
acts on the operation of the inter-
nal combustion 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 in the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to have the system
checked.
This is indicated by fl ashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
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.

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a preten-
sioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the oc-
cupants.
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 occupant,
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 vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their role
fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stowed automatically
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 au-
tomatic 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 releasing
it so that it reels in 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, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment need-
ed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly 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 impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners 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
or a qualifi ed workshop.

AIRBAGS

Deployment 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 result
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 thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre of
the steering wheel; the front passenger's
airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above
the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed 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
thorax and head of the front occupant
of the vehicle and the steering wheel,
driver's side, and the dashboard, pas-
senger's side to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.

The airbags do not oper-
ate 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 deployed 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 deployed 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 deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.

SA

137
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
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
warning and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a
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 warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag 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
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps
display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The
passenger's front airbag may no longer
be deployed 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.

Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front, in
the outer side of the seat back frame.

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilater-
ally in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B
, perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside to-
wards the inside of the vehicle.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars
and the upper passenger compartment
area.
Operating fault
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in
the event of a serious side impact applied
to all or part of the side impact zone B
, per-
pendicular to the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-
rected from the outside towards the inside
of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the
vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbag is not deployed.
