SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribu-tion (EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
p r e s s v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure. The two warning lights comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately on the instrument panel
display.
When replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they
conform to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel display, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If these two warning lights come on,
linked with the warnings on the instru-
ment panel display, they indicate a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution which could result in a loss
of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
The warning light comes on for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on (ON position). If it does
not switch off or does not come on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning light comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is ac-
tive if the vehicle speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h). It is deactivated when
the vehicle speed falls below 3 mph
(5 km/h).
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

SAFETY
101
The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures
.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.
Press the "ASC OFF" button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).
Press the "ASC OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates
a malfunction of these
systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the ASC/TCL systems checked.
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g
of this symbol on the instrument panel
display.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).

AIR BAGS
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the air bag will
not operate. Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger’s air bag is incorporat-
ed in the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger’s front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied 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
.

front occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.
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.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the
impact detection zones:
-
in the case of a serious impact, the
air bags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y
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
air bags will not be triggered; the

SAFETY
For the air bags 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 air bags
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use 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

After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-ac-
tive mode, without any action on the
part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations
in the pressure on the accelerator pedal. "Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
WITH ELECTRONIC CONTROL
4WD AUTO (position 1)
The vehicle operates with four wheel drive
and provides optimum traction regardless
of the level of grip.
This is the vehicle’s normal and regular
operating mode, the distribution of the
torque between the front and rear axles
is controlled automatically.
The distribution favours the front wheels,
the transfer of torque to the rear wheels
is managed electronically by the control
unit in relation to the level of grip, so
guaranteeing optimum road holding.
Three transmission modes are available
and can be selected manually by the driver
in accordance with his requirements.
You can change transmission mode
when stationary or while driving at a
speed below 60 mph (100 km/h) .
The transmission mode can be selected
by turning the control A . Display on the instrument panel
The transmission mode is displayed in
the form of an intermittent display on
the instrument panel display when the
transmission mode is selected.
Selecting the transmission
mode
The selection of this mode is
recommended when the level of
grip permits.
2WD (position 3)
The vehicle operates with front two
wheel drive.
This mode corresponds to use on a tarma-
cked road on which the driver considers that
t h e r e i s n o r i s k o f l o s s o f g r i p ( d r y r o a d ) .
4WD LOCK (position 2)
The vehicle operates with four wheel
drive in this mode also.
It is recommended when grip is particularly
p o o r o r d i f fi c u l t ( s a n d , m u d , s l o p e s , . . . ) .
System which permits the selection of
a transmission mode in relation to the

matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas
in which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
u n e v e n t e r r a i n ( r i s k o f s c r a p i n g
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl a t b e d .
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front

If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alter-
nately and if "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"
is displayed on the instrument panel, the
system has failed and the safety system
has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.
