AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions; they work in conjunction with
the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags operate only 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 air bag is
disarmed.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message
"Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display , con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. 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 a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat.
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming slot
1, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
it keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the disarming process.
* According to destination

130
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is
removed, turn the air bag slot to the" ON " position to reactivate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multi–function display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multifunction
display, indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (slot in the
"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the frame of the front seat back,
on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multi–function display.
If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

TYRE UNDERINFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving, and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction (speed
greater than 15mph [25 km/h]).
Flat tyreWhen this warning light
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the
message 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multifunction
display, have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom
panied by an audible signal
and the message 'Punc
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multifunction display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured or
very deflated) tyre, and have the tyre
presure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tem
porarily stored in the boot, it will
again emit this message to remind
you of the necessity of having it
repaired. This will prevent another
warning of the same type being dis
played. Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom
panied by an audible signal
and the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss
ing ' on the multifunction
display, indicates that underinflation
detection is absent from one (or sev
eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
replace the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is fitted.
LES INFORMATIONS PRATIQUES
All repairs and changing
of tyres on a wheel fitted
with this system must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre underinflation detec
tion system is an aid to driving
which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly.
This system does not remove the
necessity for having the tyre pres
sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, to
ensure optimum dynamic perfor
mance of the vehicle and to pre
vent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in the case of arduous
driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on
a frequency close to it.

CHANGING A BULB
Front lights
In the engine compartment, remove the style cover secured
by one or two butterfly screws, a plastic retainer clip and
two screws.
Note:
handle the bulbs with a dry cloth.
1 Dipped beam headlamps: H755W or Xenon bulb.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Xenon bulbs must be replaced by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
2 Main beam headlamps: H155W.
 Turn the protective cover of the faulty bulb a quarter
of a turn and remove it.
 Disconnect the connector.
 PPress the end of the securing clip to free it. Change
the bulb.
 When fitting the new bulb, ensure that the direction
notches are positioned correctly and the securing
clip is fixed properly. 
Reconnect the connector.
 Refit the protective cover.
The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with a
protective coating. Do not clean them with a dry or abra
sive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product.
3 Side lights: W 5 W.
 Pull the socket rearwards, remove the bulb and
change it.
4 Direction indicators: PY 21 W (amber).
 Turn the bulb holder a quarter turn and remove it.
 Change the bulb.
 Refit the style cover.
Front foglamps: H1 55 W.
Note: In certain climatic conditions (low temperature,
humidity), condensation on the inside surface of the
headlamp glass is normal ; it disappears a few minutes
after the lights are switched on.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

T
OWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOTtow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOTdealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, its cooling capacity is not
dependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres
sure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
In cases of malfunction, the driver is
alerted by means of the warning light
on the instrument panel.
In this situation the system adjusts
your headlamps to the low position.
