HANDBRAKE

Operating abnormality

Any  operating  abnormality  is  indi-
cated  by  an  audible  signal,  accom-
panied  by  the  message  'Automatic
gear fault' on the multi-function dis-
play,  by  a  "-"

and lashing of the

Sport and Snow warning lights on the
instrument panel display.
In  this  situation  the  gearbox  oper-
ates  in  downgrade  mode  (locked  in
3rd  gear).  You  may  feel  a  substan-
tial  knock  when  changing  from  P  to
R and from N to R (this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox).
Do  not  exceed  60  mph  (100  km/h),
respecting local speed limits.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

If the battery is lat and the

lever is in position P, it will
be impossible to change
to another position.

In particular, do not force the lever
or there is a risk the gearbox may
be damaged.

When  the  vehicle  is  be-
ing  driven,  illumination  of
this  warning  light  and  of  the
STOP  warning  light,  accom-
panied  by  an  audible  signal

and a message on the multifunction
display, indicates that the handbrake
is still on or has not been properly
released.

When parking on a slope,
direct your wheels to im-
mobilise them against the
pavement, pull the hand-
brake and engage a gear.

Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise
your vehicle.

Releasing
Pull on the handle and press the but-
ton to release the handbrake.

SPEED LIMITER

This speed limiter, of the new gener-
ation, has a display on the instrument
panel  to  indicate  the  programmed
speed.
It  prevents  exceeding  of  the  vehicle
speed  programmed  by  the  driver.
When  the  programmed  speed  is
reached,  pressing  the  accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The  limiter  operates  with  a  pro-
grammed  speed  of  at  least  18  mph
approx.  (30  km/h);  it  remains  active
regardless of any action on the brake
and clutch pedals.
The  operating  actions  must  be
carried out:
-

when stationary, with the
engine running,

or
-

with the vehicle moving.

The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.

Instrument panel display

When the speed limiter function is
active, pressing this button displays
the distance recorders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the speed limiter function.

Selecting the function
F Place the dial 1 in the LIMIT

position. The limiter is not yet
active. By default, the display
indicates:

Storing a speed
A speed can be stored without acti-
vating the limiter.
Press buttons 2 and 3

crease or increase by 1 mph (1 km/h).
An extended press decreases or in-
creases by 5 mph (5 km/h).
A maintained press decreases or in-
creases the programmed speed in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Activating / deactivating the
limiter
Pressing button 4 once activates the
limiter, pressing the button again de-
activates it.
When the limiter is active, the display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):

Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing  the  accelerator  in  order  to
exceed  the  programmed  speed  will
have  no  effect  unless  you  press  the
pedal

irmly beyond the point of re-

sistance.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed, which

is still displayed, lashes (e.g. at

70 mph (110 km/h)):

Note

: the speed also lashes when

the  limiter  cannot  prevent  the  vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed  (on  a  steep  descent,  in  the
event of sharp acceleration).
To  reactivate  the  limiter,  release  the
accelerator to slow down to a speed
below the programmed speed.

Switching the function off
F Place dial 1 in position 0

or switch off the ignition to
switch the system off. The last
programmed speed remains in
the memory.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
the programmed speed is cleared
and the indication below appears:

In the event of a steep de-
scent  or  sharp  accelera-
tion,  the  speed  limiter  will
not be able to prevent the
vehicle  from  exceeding
the programmed speed.

In any event, the speed limiter can-
not replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-

ensure that the mat and

its ixings are positioned

correctly.

- never it one mat on top of

another.

You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals.

CRUISE CONTROL

This cruise control, of the new gene-
ration,  has  a  display  on  the  instru-
ment panel to indicate the memorised
reference speed.
It  enables  the  vehicle  to  maintain  a
steady  speed  programmed  by  the
driver.
In order for it to be memorised or ac-
tivated,  the  vehicle  speed  must  be
greater than 24 mph approx. (40 km/h)
with  at  least  fourth  gear  engaged  for

vehicles itted with a manual gearbox.

On vehicles itted with an automatic

gearbox,  the  lever  must  be  in  po-
sition  D  at  a  speed  greater  than
24  mph  approx.  (40  km/h),  or  in
at  least  second  gear  in  sequential
mode.

The indicator light on the in-
strument panel comes on at
the same time.

Instrument panel display

When  the  cruise  control  function  is
activated,  pressing  this  button  ena-
bles  you  to  display  the  distance  re-
corders.
After a few seconds or when this but-
ton is pressed again, the display re-
turns to the cruise control function.

Selecting the function
F Place switch 1 in the CRUISE

position. The cruise control is
not yet active and no speed has
been memorised. The display
indicates in succession:

First activation / memorising a

Reactivating the cruise control
After cancellation of the cruise con-
trol, press button 4. Your vehicle will
return to the last memorised speed.
The display indicates (e.g. at 70 mph
(110 km/h)):

It is also possible to reactivate the cruise
control by pressing button 2 or 3. The
memorised speed will then be the speed
at which the vehicle was travelling when
the cruise control was reactivated.

Changing the memorised
reference speed
To memorise a speed higher than the
previous one, there are two options:
Without using the accelerator:

F  press button 3.
A  brief  press  increases  by  1  mph
(1 km/h).
An  extended  press  increases  by
5 mph (5 km/h).
A  maintained  press  increases  in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

until the required speed is
reached,

F press button 2 or 3.

To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
F  press button 2.
A  brief  press  decreases  by  1  mph
(1 km/h).
An  extended  press  decreases  by
5 mph (5 km/h).
A  maintained  press  decreases  in
steps of 5 mph (5 km/h).

Cancelling the memorised
reference speed
F When the vehicle becomes

stationary, after switching off the
ignition, the system no longer
memorisesw a speed.

Switching the function off
F Place dial 1 in position 0 to

switch the system off.

Operating fault
In the event of a cruise control mal-
function, the memorised speed is

erased, the dashes lash for a few

seconds:

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

When  changing  the  memo-
rised  reference  speed  by
means of a maintained press,
pay  attention  as  the  speed

can increase or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on

slippery roads or in heavy trafic.

In the  event  of a steep  slope,  the
cruise  control  cannot  prevent  the
vehicle  from  exceeding  the  pro-
grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control can-
not replace the need to observe the
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-

ensure that the mat and

its ixings are positioned

correctly.

- never it one mat on top of

another.

You are advised to keep your feet
near the pedals.

SAFETY -

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND
ELECTRONIC BRAKE
FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBFD)

The  ABS,  in  conjunction  with  the
electronic  brake  force  distribution,
increases  the  stability  and  manoeu-
vrability  of  your  vehicle  on  braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
When  changing  wheels  (tyres  and
rims),  make  sure  that  these  are  ap-
proved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into  operation  automatically  when
there is a risk of wheel lock.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system ena-
bles the optimum braking pressure to
be reached more quickly, thus reduc-
ing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The ef-
fect of this is a reduction in the resist-
ance of the pedal and an increase in

braking eficiency.
When braking in an emergency,

press irmly without releasing the

pressure.
Depending on the force of the decel-
eration, the hazard warning lights are
switched on automatically. They are
switched off automatically on accel-
eration.

When

this

warning

light

comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-

function of the ABS, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.

When

this

warning

light

comes  on,  connected  to  the
STOP  warning  light,  accom-
panied  by  a  buzzer  and  a

message,  it  indicates  that  there  is  a
malfunction  of  the  electronic  brake
force  distribution,  which  can  cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
Stop immediately.
In  both  cases,  consult  a  PEUGEOT
dealer.

Normal  operation  of  the ABS  may
make  itself  felt  by  slight  vibrations
of the brake pedal.
In  emergency  braking,  press

very irmly without releasing the

pressure.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)

Disarming the ASR/ESP

systems
In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in  snow,  on  soft  ground),  it  may  be
advisable  to  disarm  the  ASR  and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
F  Press the "ESP OFF" switch,

located under the steering wheel
to the left.

Operating check

The  ASR/ESP  systems
offer  exceptional  safety
in  normal  driving,  but  this
should not encourage 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  wheels  (tyres
and rims), the braking components
and  the  electronic  components
and the PEUGEOT assembly and
operation procedures.
After  an  impact,  have  these  sys-
tems  checked  by  a  PEUGEOT
dealer.

Operation of the ASR and ESP

systems

The switch lights up and the
warning  light  comes  on,  ac-
companied  by  a  message
on the multifunction display :

the ASR and ESP systems are dis-
armed.

These are triggered again:
F automatically if the ignition is

switched off,

F manually by pressing the switch

again.

When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch

light lashes and the warning

light comes on.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.

The warning light lashes if

the ASR or ESP is activated.

Activation of the ASR and ESP

systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.

These  systems  are  linked  and  com-
plement the ABS.
The  ASR  system  optimises  drive  to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional  stability  of  the  vehicle  to
be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory  followed  by  the  vehicle  and
that  required  by  the  driver,  the  ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine  and  the  brake  of  one  or  more
wheels,  in  order  to  put  the  vehicle
back  on  course,  within  the  limits  of
the laws of physics.

SAFETY -

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,

the air bags inlate instantly and pro-

tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags delate rapidly so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The

seat belt is suficient to ensure maxi-

mum  protection  in  these  situations.
The  seriousness  of  a  collision  de-
pends  on  the  nature  of  the  obstacle
and  the  speed  of  the  vehicle  at  the
moment of the collision.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

If  this  warning  light  comes
on,  accompanied  by  an  au-
dible  signal  and  a  message
on  the  multifunction  display,

contact  a  PEUGEOT  dealer  to  have
the  system  checked.  The  air  bags
may  no  longer  be  triggered  in  the
event of a serious impact

Front air bag malfunction

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  passen-
ger air bag is disarmed, in the event
of  a  serious  front  impact  applied  in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline  of  the  vehicle,  on  a  hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The air bag

inlates between the front occupant of

the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The air bags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.

SAFETY

84 -

SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS

The  side  air  bags  are  incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The  triggering  of  these  air  bags  re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in  the  side  impact  zone  B,  perpen-
dicular  to  the  longitudinal  centreline
of  the  vehicle,  on  a  horizontal  plane
and  from  the  outside  of  the  vehicle
towards  the  inside. The  side  air  bag

inlates between the front occupant

of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.

If  the  passenger  air  bag  is
disarmed,  the  warning  light
on  the  instrument  panel  re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.

If  this  warning  light  comes
on,  accompanied  by  an  au-
dible  signal  and  a  message
on  the  multifunction  display,

contact  a  PEUGEOT  dealer  to  have
the  system  checked.  The  air  bags
may  no  longer  be  triggered  in  the
event of a serious impact.

Disarming (check)

The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
The curtain air bag inlates between

the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.

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. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seri-

ously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inlate.
F

With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.

In  the  "OFF"  position,  the  passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn  the  air  bag  switch  to  the  "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus  ensure  the  safety  of  your  pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

Air bags malfunction

SAFETY -

For the front, side and

curtain air bags to be ful-

ly effective, observe the

following safety rules:

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants  and  the  air  bags  (child,
animal,  object...).  This  could  ham-
per the operation of the air bags or
injure the occupants.
All  work  on  the  air  bag  systems  is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried

out by qualiied personnel of the

PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into,
have the air bag systems checked.

Front air bags
Do  not  drive  holding  the  steering
wheel  by  its  spokes  or  resting  your
hands  on  the  centre  part  of  the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the fascia.
Smoke  as  little  as  possible;  deploy-
ment of the air bags can cause burns
or  the  risk  of  injury  from  a  cigarette
or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.

Curtain air bags

Do not ix or glue anything to the

pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain

air bag inlates.
The  triggering  of  an  air  bag  or  air
bags  is  accompanied  by  a  slight
emission  of  harmless  smoke  and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic  cartridge  incorporated
in  the  system.  This  smoke  is  not
harmful  but  sensitive  individuals
may experience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a  slight  loss  of  hearing  for  a  short
time.
Even  if  all  of  the  precautions  men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns  to  the  head,  chest  or  arms
when the air bag is triggered cannot

be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inlates

almost

instantly

(approximately

30 milliseconds) then delates with-

in  the  same  time  discharging  hot
gas  via  the  openings  provided  for
this purpose.
This  equipment  will  only  operate
once.  If  a  second  impact  occurs
(during  the  same  or  a  subsequent
accident),  the  air  bag  will  not  in-

late.

Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-

lation of the side air bags. Consult a

PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not ix or glue anything to the front

seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side

air bag inlates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt height adjustment:
-

to lower: pull the control towards
you and slide it downwards,

to raise: slide the control
upwards.

To fasten the seat belts
F Pull the strap, then insert the

tongue into the buckle.

F Check that the seat belt is

fastened correctly by pulling the
strap.

To unfasten the seat belts
F Press the button on the buckle.

Driver's seat belt not

fastened/unfastened warning

light

The warning light comes
on each time the ignition is
switched on.

It remains on until the driver fastens
his seat belt.
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning

light lashes for two minutes accompa-

nied by an increasingly audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, the warning light remains lit
until the driver's seat belt is fastened.

Front seat belts with

pre-tensioner and force
limiter
Safety  in  the  event  of  front  impacts
has  been  improved  by  the  introduc-
tion  of  seat  belts  with  pre-tensioner
and  force  limiter  for  the  front  seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact,  the  pre-tensioning  system
instantly  tightens  the  seat  belts  and
pulls  them  against  the  bodies  of  the
occupants.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.

Rear seat belts
The rear seats are itted with three

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

SAFETY -

The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-
strained before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulil their role fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are itted with an in-

ertia  reel  permitting  automatic  ad-
justment  of  the  length  of  the  strap
to your size. The seat belt is stored
automatically when not in use.
Before  and  after  use,  ensure  that
the seat belt is rolled up 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  itted  with  an

automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,

must restrain one adult only,

must not bear any trace of cuts
or fraying,

must be pulled in front of you
with a smooth movement,
checking that it does not twist,

must not be transformed or

modiied to avoid altering its

performance.

In  accordance  with  current  safety
regulations,  all  repairs  and  checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have  your  seat  belts  checked  regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly  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 rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for

children:
-

use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre

ifty,

do not use the strap-guide*
when a child seat is installed.

never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person,

never allow a child to travel on
your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered
before  and  independently  of  the
air  bags.  Triggering  of  the  pre-ten-
sioners  is  accompanied  by  a  slight
emission of harmless smoke and a
noise,  due  to  the  activation  of  the
pyrotechnic  cartridge  incorporated
in the system.
In  all  cases,  the  air  bag  warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts  system  checked,  and  if  nec-
essary  replaced,  by  a  PEUGEOT
dealer.
