To be effective, this deactivation must be carried
out each time the ignition is switched off.
Reactivation of the interior
volumetric and anti-tilt monitoring
Tr i g g e r i n g o f t h e a l a r m
This is indicated by sounding of the siren and
flashing of the direction indicators for thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.

Press the unlocking button on
the remote control or unlock the
vehicle using the Keyless Entry
and Starting system to deactivate
the exterior perimeter monitoring.
)
Press the locking button on the
remote control or lock the vehicle
using the Keyless Entry and
Starting system to activate all the
monitoring functions.
The indicator lamp in the button
again flashes once per second.
When the vehicle is unlocked using
the remote control or unlocked
using the Keyless Entry and Star ting
system, rapid flashing of the indicator
lamp in the button informs you that the alarm
was triggered during your absence. When
the ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.
Failure of the remote control
To deactivate the monitoring functions:
)
Unlock the vehicle using the key in the
driver's door lock.
)
Open the door; the alarm is triggered.
)
Switch on the ignition; the alarm stops. The
indicator lamp in the button switches off.
Locking the vehicle without
activating the alarm
)
Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the key
in the driver's door lock.
Operating fault
When the ignition is switched on, fixed
illumination of the indicator lamp in the button
indicates a fault in the system.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
*
According to country.
Automatic activation *
2 minutes after the last door or the boot is
closed, the system is activated automatically.
)
To avoid triggering the alarm on entering
the vehicle, first press the unlocking button

Child safety
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for shor t journeys.
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 firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. Move the seat for wards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for wards-
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfor t.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Advice on child seats
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and
unsuper vised 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "for wards-facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear wards-facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Other wise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.
Installing a booster seat
The chest par t 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, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.

Safety
Direction indicators
)
Lower the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the left.
)
Raise the lighting control stalk fully when
moving to the right.
"Motorway" function
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
3 times.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than twenty
seconds, the volume of the audible
signal will increase if the speed is above
40 mph (60 km/h).
Hazard warning lamps
Press the button, the direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of
hazard warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, as well as when the
ABS regulation is invoked or in the event of an
impact, the hazard warning lamps come on
automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you
accelerate.
)
You can also switch them off by pressing
the button.

Safety
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
incorporating the following systems:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the
electronic brake force distribution system
(EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance,
- the traction control (ASR),
- the dynamic stability control (DSC).
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution system (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and offers improved control, in particular on
poor or slippery road sur faces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
In an emergency, this system enables you to
reach the optimum braking pressure more
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to avoid
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.

Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on
snow: Intelligent Traction Control
.
This automatic system continuously checks
for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that
could make it difficult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted
snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide
the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains.
In extremely severe conditions (snow on top
of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a
degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press
ver y firmly without releasing the
pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
make sure that these are approved for
your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal. When this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which
could cause loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
When this warning lamp comes on,
coupled with the STOP
warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
