the front and rear seat backs, on the
door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper part
of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
This is confirmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multi-function
display.
If this indicator light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal and a
message, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

cumstances, replace the need to com-
ply with speed limits or the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain
a steady speed programmed by the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth

speed.
Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,
the dashes flash for a few seconds:
Do not use the cruise control
on slippery roads or in heavy
traffic.
To prevent the mat from
becoming caught under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
This prevents the vehicle speed
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).
The operations must be carried out:
