SEAT BELTS
To lock the seat belts Pull the strap, then insert the buckle into the stalk. Pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introductionof pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts. Depending on the seri-ousness of the impact, the pre-ten-sioning system instantly tightens theseat belts firmly against the body ofthe occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against theoccupant's body in the event of anaccident. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel seat belts.
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightened asclose to the body as possi-ble.
Depending on the nature and theseriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioners may be triggeredbefore and independently of trig-gering of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following a collision, have the sys- tem checked by a PEUGEOT deal-
er. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years.
For greater safety, have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer within tenyears following the initial purchaseof the vehicle.

Changing the battery of the remote control
Warning that the battery is flat is given by an audible signal accompanied bythe message
''Remote control bat-
tery low'' on the multifunction display.
To replace the battery, remove thescrew then unclip the casing using acoin at the ring (CR 2016/3 volt battery). If the remote control does not work after the battery has been changed,reprogramme the remote control.
THE KEYS The keys allow you to
independently
operate the locks on the doors, the tailgate (opening), the fuel filler cap,the steering lock, the glove box andthe passenger air bag disarming con-trol and to switch on the ignition. Central locking From the driver's door the keys allow you:
Ðto lock or unlock the doors and tail-
gate simultaneously,
Ð to unlock simultaneously just thedoors.
Unlocking the boot is possible only
by using the boot key. If one of the doors is open, the central locking does not work. The remote control This fulfils the same functions as the
key, at a distance. Locking Pressing button
Alocks the vehicle by
remote control. This is displayed by the continuouslighting of the direction indicators forapproximately two seconds. Unlocking Pressing button Bunlocks just the
doors. This is shown by the rapid flashing ofthe direction indicators. Notes: if the vehicle is locked and the
unlocking control is pressed inadver- tently without the doors being openedwithin 30 seconds, the vehicle will lock
again automatically.

The normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibra-tions of the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing thepressure.
THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
The ABS system with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) increasesthe stability and manoeuvrabilty ofyour vehicle, particularly on poor orslippery road surfaces. Note:
when replacing wheels (tyres
and rims), ensure that they are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Lighting of this warninglamp, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Braking fault" on the
multifunction display, indicates a mal-function of the electronic brake forcedistribution which could result in loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
HANDBRAKE Applying When parking, pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle. Releasing Pull the handle and press the button to release the handbrake.
Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarning
light, accompanied by anaudible signal (at 10 km/h)
and the message "handbrake on"on
the multifunction display, indicates thatthe handbrake is still applied or has
not been released fully. EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducingthe stopping distance. It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The effectof this is a reduction in the resistanceof the pedal and an increase in braking
efficiency.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CON-
TROL (ESP) These systems are linked and comple-
ment the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by actingon the brakes of the drive wheels andon the engine. It also allows the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP systemautomatically acts on the engine andthe brake of one or more wheels, inorder to put the vehicle back oncourse.Disarming the ASR/ESP systems In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground), it may be advis-
able to disarm the ASR and ESP sys-tems, so that the wheels can movefreely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, locat-
ed under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on theengine operation.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 automatically above 50 km/h,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes. Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys-tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage "ESP/ASR system not opera-
tional" on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offersexceptional safety in normaldriving, but this should notencourage the driver to takeextra risks or drive at high
speed. The correct functioning of this sys- tem depends on observation of themanufacturer's recommendationsregarding wheels (tyres and rims),the braking components and theelectronic components, as well asthe PEUGEOT assembly and opera-tion procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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 caseswhere the passenger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
"Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate instant-ly and protect the occupants of thevehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they do nothinder the visibility of the occupantsnor their exit if necessary from thevehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is sufficient
to ensure maximum protection. Theseriousness of a collision depends onthe nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the moment ofthe collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passengerair bag when you install a rear-facingchild seat on the front passengerseat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passenger air bagdisarming switch 1, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.
* According to destination.

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"posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thusensure the safety of your passenger inthe event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible signaland a message on the multifunction
display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illumi- nation of this warning light accompaniedby an audible signal and the message"Passenger air bag disarmed" on the
multifunction display, indicates that thepassenger air bag is disarmed (switch inthe "OFF" position).SIDE AIRBAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on the doorside. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisions whichcould cause injury to the chest, theabdomen or the head. Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator lighton the instrument panel. It comes on for six seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after six seconds or,
Ð flashes for five minutes then stays on.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
112
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit-
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and itsdriver must be particularly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axleand the nose weight approaches themaximum permitted without exceeding it. Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
