Front seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning lamp

If the driver does not fasten their seat belt
within one minute after switching on the
ignition, the warning lamp flashes accompanied
by an intermittent audible signal.
After about 90 seconds, the warning lamp, the
audible signal and the display stop, and then
return until the driver fastens their seat belt.
If the seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle is moving
, you are warned by the same alerts.

Th
e front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the frontseats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, thepretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection.

gnition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on accompanied

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to maximise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
violent collisions. They supplement 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 instantaneously and protect
the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidlyso that they do not hinder the visibility of
the occupants or their possible exit from
t
he vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in cer tain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the seat
belt alone is su
fficient to provide maximum protection in these situations.

The airbags do not operate when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the sameor a subsequent accident), the airbagwill not operate.
The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or par t of the front impact
z
one A , in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from
th
e front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their forward movement. S
ystem which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

To ensure the safety of your child, thepassenger airbag must be deactivatedwhen you install a "rear facing" childseat on the front passenger seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.


Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn switch A
to the "ON"position to reactivate the
airbag and so ensure the safety of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.


Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
t
he system checked. The airbags mayno longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.

Charging the main battery
)Pull lever 1
, located at the bottom of
the dashboard, driver's side, to open
the access flap for the normal char
ging socket (right hand side of the vehicle).
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the power point you want to use is standardand is compatible with the current rating on the charging cable control unit. In all cases, it is recommended that your installation be checked by a qualified electrician.
There are two types of charging: normal and fast.
Normal charging should be used in pre
ference;
it is done from a domestic power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fastcharge station.
) Apply the parking brake and put the driveselector in position P

Repair procedure
1. Sealing
)Switch off the ignition.)Indicate on the speed restriction sticker provided, the wheel to be repaired, then fix it to the steering wheel as a reminder that a
wheel is in temporary use. )Shake the sealant car tridge, remove the cap and screw on the injection pipe.
) Remove the valve cap for the tyre to be
repaired.) Remove the valve core using the tool
provided, and store in in a clean place.
) Connect the injection pipe to the valve of
the tyre to be repaired.
)Tap the sealant car tridge (top down)several times with your hand, so as to
inject all of the product into the tyre. )Remove the injection pipe.)Refit the valve core and tighten it usingthe tool provided.
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed andcauses irritation to the eyes.Keep it out of reach of children. The use-by date of the sealant is marked on the car tridge.
After use, do not discard the empty cartridge but take it to a PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site. Don't forget to obtain a replacement cartridge; they are available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Avoid removing any foreign bodieswhich have penetrated into the tyre.

the vehicle's 12 V socket (ignition switch in
position "ON" or "ACC"). ) Star t the compressor by turning the
switch A
to the "ON"position.)
Using the compressor, adjust the pressure in accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located in the driver's door
aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
) Remove the compressor and stow the kit. )
Drive off straight away at reduced speed (50 mph [80 km/h] max) limiting thedistance travelled to approximately
120 miles (200 km).


As soon as possible, go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Tell the technician that you have used the kit. After checking, the technicianwill advise you whether the tyre can berepaired or must be replaced.


If after around 5 to 7 minutes the pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contacta PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop for assistance.
