Engine immobiliser This locks the engine control sys- tem and therefore prevents startingof the vehicle by anyone who has
not got the key.Operation The keys which were given to you on delivery of your vehicle have anelectronic chip in the plastic part of
the key. Each key therefore has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, the key code is recognised by theengine immobiliser system andstarting is possible. If the key does not have a code or
has a different code from those sto-
red in the system memory, thevehicle will not start. The engine immobiliser automati- cally locks the engine control sys-tem a few moments after the igni-
tion has been switched off.Additional key Y
ou can store up to 5 keys.
If you require an additional key or
wish to replace a faulty key, you
must visit a PEUGEOT dealer.

Anti-lock brake system(ABS)* In conjunction with approved tyres in good condition, the anti-lockbrake system improves the stabilityand handling of your 106, particu-larly on poor or slippery surfaces. The anti-lock brake system ope- rates automatically if there is a riskof wheel locking. Lighting of the ABS warning lamp may be due to the turning of awheel during an operation on thevehicle (changing a wheel, forexample) with the ignition on (posi-tion
M).

operation of the system can berecognised by a light vibration ofthe brake pedal. Should an emergency stop be
necessary, press the brake pedal

AIR BAGS* The airbag system has been desi- gned to maximise the safety of theoccupants in the event of seriouscollisions. It works in conjunctionwith the seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle; if the triggering thresholdis reached the airbags inßate instant-ly and come between the occupantsand the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air-
bags deßate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-Þcient to ensure maximum protec-tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion 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 airbag isdisarmed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
-
Remove the ignition key, insert itinto the passenger airbag switch 1
and turn it to the “OFF”position.
- One of these two warning lights* on the instrumentpanel is lit throughout thedisarming process.
In the “OFF” position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in theevent of an impact. As soon as you remove the rearwards-facing child seat from thefront passenger seat, turn the airbagswitch to the ÒONÓ position, to armthe airbag and thus ensure thesafety of your passenger in animpact. * According to speciÞcation.
