ANTILOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

tronic brake force distribution, increas
es the stability and manoevrability of
your vehicle, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The antilock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered according to the speed
of activation of the brake pedal. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake system.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be
engaged when the vehicle is sta
tionary with the engine idling.
* According to engine. AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions. They work in conjunction with
the forcelimiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate 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 collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle and the speed of the vehicle at
the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags 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 passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi–function display, con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to

rearfacing child seat on the front
passenger seat. 
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 slot
in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout the
disarming process. 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" position to reactivate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi
function display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indi
cator light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the multi–func
tion display.
If this indicator light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and the message "Air bag fault" on
the multi–function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys
