TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION

System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of
the tyres while driving.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly. Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

Under-inflated tyre

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message
identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.









HORN


Audible warning to alert other road users to an imminent danger.


)
Press one of the spokes of the steering wheel.










EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE
CALL
This system allows you to make an emergency or assistance call to the
emergency services or to the dedicated PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio and
telematics" section.

5/
SAFETY
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 reinitialised 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 ensure that the optimum dynamic performance 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 also check the pressure of the spare wheel if your
vehicle has one.
The tyre under-infl ation detection system may experience
temporary interference due to electro-magnetic signals on a
frequency close to that used by the system.


Puncture

The STOP
warning lamp comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and an alert message 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.

)
Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very defl ated
tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.



Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an alert message to identify the wheel or
wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the
system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels
without a sensor are fi tted.
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, this does not have a sensor.

FRONT AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of
a serious 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 simultaneously, 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, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.


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.
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. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

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.
If even one of the two airbag warning lamps comes on
continuously, 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.

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.






LATERAL AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a
violent side impact in order to limit the risks of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front seat back frame, on the door
side.

Deployment

It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a violent impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B
, operating at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle in a horizontal plane and from the
exterior of the vehicle towards the interior.
The lateral airbag comes between the front occupant of the vehicle and
the corresponding door trim panel.
