SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection
zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and contribute towards pro-
tecting the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone con-
tributes towards providing your pro-
tection in these situations. The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the pas-
senger's front airbag it it has been deacti-
vated, 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 tho-
rax 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate. 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 passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

SAFETY
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on
or fl ash, accompanied by an
audible warning and a mes-
sage in the screen, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop 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, with
the ignition off, turn the control switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your
front passenger in the event of an im-
pact.
On switching the ignition on,
this warning lamp comes on in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps dis-
play for approximately one minute, so
as to signal the activation of the pas-
senger's front airbag. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rearward facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
On switching on the ignition this
warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display. It
stays on until the airbag is re-
activated.
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.

SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when
an airbag is deployed cannot be ruled
out. The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates
within the same time discharging the
hot gas via openings provided for this
purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your ha\
nds on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the seats, compatible with deployment of the\
lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical information - Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the front head restraints (articles of clothing...).
This could cause injury to the head if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regu-lations, all children under the age
of 12 or less than one and a half
metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearward fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.
* The rules for carrying children are specifi c to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT *
"Forward-facing"
"Rearward-facing"
When a "rearward-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
adjust the seat to the intermediate lon-
gitudinal and highest position, with the
backrest straightened.
The passenger airbag must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate . When a "forward-facing" child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal and highest position
with seat backrest straightened and
leave the passenger's airbag activated.
* Refer to the current legislation in your country before installing a child seat
on this seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure that the support leg is in
stable contact with the fl oor. If nec-
essary, adjust the passenger seat. Passenger seat adjusted to the inter-
mediate longitudinal position.

SAFETY
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rmly
on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehi-
cle's seat, even in contact if possible. Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on
a front passenger seat is specifi c to
each country. Refer to the legislation
in force in your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearward facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were to
infl ate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
Installation of a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
Do not use the passenger's "AIRWAVE"
system if a child seat is installed on the
front seat.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode -
as soon as you want to move off. The
restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, ex-
haust emissions and the noise level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral, and
you release the clutch pedal.
If your vehicle is fi tted with it, a time counter calculates the
sum of the periods in STOP
mode during a journey. It
rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key. For your comfort when parking,
STOP mode is not available for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for ex-
ample.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,
- the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp fl ash-
es for a few seconds, then goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, the
"AIRWAVE" system stops working.

- you unfasten the driver's seat belt,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
15 mph (25 km/h) with a manual
gearbox,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp fl ash-
es, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal. Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
At any time, press the
"ECO OFF" switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.
Reactivation

The system is active again; this is con-
fi rmed by the switch warning lamp go-
ing off, accompanied by a message in
the screen.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key.
With a manual gearbox in STOP
mode, if a gear is engaged without
fully depressing the clutch pedal, a
message is displayed asking you
to depress the clutch pedal to re-
start the engine.
