The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability ofthe vehicle to be improved onacceleration.
Operation of the ASR systemWhen this system is operat- ing, this light flashes.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) This system is linked with and com-
plements the ABS. Disarming the ASR system In exceptional conditions (starting the vehicle when stuck in mud, on
snow, on unstable ground...), it may
prove useful to disarm the ASR sys-tem to allow the wheels to skid andregain grip.
Press switch Ain the centre of
the fascia panel.
The indicator light on the switch and the warning light
come on: the ASR system willno longer act on the operationof the engine or the brakes. It will come into operation again:
automatically above 20 mph (30 km/h),
manually when the switch ispressed again.
Operating check When a malfunction of thesystem occurs, the warninglight on the instrument panelcomes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system checked.

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater thanapproximately 25 mph (40 km/h) andfourth or fifth gear must be engaged. The cruise control controls are locat- ed on the steering wheel. Operation Press control A(ON position).
A speed can be memorised. Press control D(OFF position) to
cancel. Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press control
Bor C. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note: It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the cruise control.
Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed: press button Dor the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
E.
Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one: press button B;
release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one: press button C;
release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control Press control D (OFF position) or
switch off the ignition.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,and a special speaker fitted in thefascia. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. However, it may not detectobstacles located just below the
bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road- works cone or any other similarobject may be detected at the begin-ning of the manoeuvre, but may nolonger be detected when the vehicleis close to it. Note:
this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. Activation The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged; an audiblebleep shows that it is active. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, which becomesmore rapid as the vehicle approachesthe obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is lessthan approximately twenty centime-tres, the audible signal becomes con-tinuous.Deactivation
Change to neutral, the system is again inactive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating fault, the audible signalwill be a short bleep fol-lowed by a long bleepwhen changing to reverse
gear.

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with the
seat belts. The electronic detectorsregister and analyse any abruptdeceleration of the vehicle: if the trig-gering threshold is reached, the airbags inflate instantly and protect theoccupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi-cient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obsta-cle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the passen-ger air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on on the instrument panel,
contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the systemchecked. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat.
Ð Remove the ignition key, insert it
into the passenger air bag switch 1located between the two front
seats and turn it to the "OFF"
position.
Ð The air bag warning light on the instrument panel is lit throughoutthe disarming process.

In the
"OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear-fac- ing child seat from the front passen-ger seat, turn the air bag switch tothe "ON" position, to arm the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by the light on the instrument panel. If the passenger air bag is armed (passenger air bag switch in the"ON" position), the indicator light
comes on for six seconds when theignition is switched on.
If the passenger air bag isdisarmed (passenger airbag switch in the "OFF"
position), the indicator lightremains on.
In all cases, if the light flashes, con-
tact your PEUGEOT dealer. SIDE AIR BAGS* The side air bags are incorporated into the front seat backs on the door side. They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side thecollision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light on the instrument panel.
If this indicator light comeson, contact a PEUGEOTdealer to have the systemchecked.

For the front and side* air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
¥ Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
¥ Sit in a normal upright position.
¥ Do not leave anything between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags (a child, pet, object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.
¥ All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
¥ After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked. Front air bags
¥ Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
¥ Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
¥ Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
¥ Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently. Side air bags*
¥ Only put approved covers on the front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT dealer.
¥ Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag inflates.
¥ Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
