BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help you to obtain optimum
braking in complete safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
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.
Activation
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. When braking in an emergency, press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on, together with the
STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which could result in loss of contro\
l of
the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When replacing wheels (tyres and rims), ensure that they conform
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
When braking in an emergency, press fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum
braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking effi ciency.

ACTIVE BONNET
Operating fault
The active bonnet has been designed to maximise the safety of
pedestrians in the event of an impact with the front of the vehicle. The deployment of the active bonnet is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge integrated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After deployment, close the bonnet by pressing on the hinges.
Go to the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop at a
maximum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). This equipment can only operate once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet will
not operate.
After an accident or theft of the vehicle, have the system checked.
Do not handle the pyrotechnic systems, located under the bonnet
near the struts: risk of explosion.
All work on this system is strictly prohibited unless carried out by
skilled personnel of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to
have the system checked. The active bonnet may no longer
be deployed in the event of an impact.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all restrained securely before
setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat
belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia reel permitting automatic
adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in
correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible
on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by
pulling fi rmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to avoid affecting its performance. In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the
seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or \
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact
, the
pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently
of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if
necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

DRIVING
IGNITION SWITCH
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
STARTING THE VEHICLE
 Insert the key in the ignition switch.
The system recognises the starting code.
 Turn the key fully towards the dashboard to position 3 (Starting) .
 When the engine starts, release the key.
SWITCHING THE VEHICLE OFF
 Immobilise the vehicle.
 Turn the key fully towards you to position 1 (Stop) .
 Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Key left in the "Ignition on" position
On opening the driver's door, an alert message is displayed,
accompanied by an audible signal, to remind you that the key is
still in the ignition switch at position 1 (Stop) .
If the key has been left in the ignition switch at position 2 (Ignition
on) , the ignition will be switched off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key to position 1 (Stop) ,
then back to position 2 (Ignition on) .
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few minutes after the ignition is switched off, this electronic engine
immobiliser locks the engine management system and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and a message on the screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of braking assistance.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
on the engine speed.
 To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.  If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.

* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit,\
on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same \
amount; warning: towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an\
adverse effect on its road holding.
