switch the system off. The last speed programmed remains in the
memory.
Memorising a speed
A speed can be memorised without
activation of the limiter.
A brief press on buttons 2and 3
decreases or increases by 1 mph
(1 km/h). An extended press decreas-es or increases the memorised speed
progressively.
Activation/deactivation of thelimiter
Pressing button 4activates the lim-
iter, pressing this button again deac-tivates it. When the limiter is active, the display indicates (e.g. at 80 mph (130 km/h)):

this prevents the
vehicle speed exceeding the speed programmed by the driver (minimumspeed of 20 mph (30 km/h)). The operations must be carried out with the engine running.
* During the year, according to engine.
Exceeding the programmed speed Pressing the accelerator to exceed the programmed speed will have no
effect unless the pedal is pressedfirmly (passing the point of resis-
tance) .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
displays (e.g. at 80 mph (130 km/h)):
To re-activate the limiter, release the accelerator to slow down to a speedbelow the programmed speed. Note: sometimes (on a steep
descent), the limiter may not prevent the vehicle from exceeding the pro-grammed speed, this speed flashes. Operating check In the event of a limiter malfunction, the memorised speed is erased, thedashes flash for a few seconds:

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 the
force-limiting seat belts. The elec-tronic detectors register and analyseany abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:if the triggering threshold is reached,the air bags inflate instantly and pro-tect the occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not serious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment 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 passengerair bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have thesystem checked. 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 arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. Otherwise, thechild would risk being killed orseriously injured if the air bagwere to inflate.
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 slotin this position.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throughout thedisarming process.

If the two "Air bag fault" and "Passenger air bag dis-armed" warning lights come
on permanently, do not
install a rearward facing child seat
and consult a PEUGEOT dealer.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 re-activate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in the event of animpact. Disarming check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display.
With the ignition on (2ndnotch), illumination of thiswarning light accompaniedby an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air bag deacti-
vated" on the multi-function display,
indicates that the passenger air bag isdisarmed (switch in the "OFF" posi-
tion).SIDE AIR BAGS* AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS*
The side air bags are incorporated into the front seat backs on the doorside.
The curtain air bags are incorporatedinto the door pillars and the upper partof the passenger compartment. They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side the col-lision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible signal anda message on the multifunction dis-
play.
If this indicator light comeson, accompanied by an audi-ble signal and the message"Air bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the systemchecked.
