TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) 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 wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If there is a variation between the tra- jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESPsystem automatically acts on theengine and the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.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 canmove freely and regain grip. 
Press the "ESP OFF" switch,
located under the steering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems aredisarmed.
These are triggered again:  automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.
Operation of the ASR and
ESP systems
The warning light flashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated. Operating check
When a malfunction of thesystems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warn-ing light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to havethe system checked.
The ESP system offersexceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but thisshould not encourage thedriver to take extra 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 andoperation 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 cases where the air bag isdisarmed.Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer 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 occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. 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 pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throu-ghout the disarming process.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom-
mend that you wash them regularly.
Ð by hand: there are no specific pre- cautions to take;
Ð using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car washes can lead tothe appearance of microscopicscratches which give the paint-work a matt appearance (espe-cially visible on dark colours);
Ð using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommenda-tions on the equipment (pressureand spraying distance). If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers orheadlamps), it is not recommend-ed to direct the high pressure jet
onto them. Wash these areas byhand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to themaintenance of your vehicle, con-tact an approved dealer who canadvise you on quality productsselected by our departments.
Ð Clean off bird drop- pings, resinous depo- sits, tar stains andgrease marks as soonas possible; (these all
contain substances which cancause serious damage to thepaintwork).
Ð Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solventproducts to clean the doublelens, complex surface head-lamps as they are fitted withpolycarbonate glass covered ina protective finish.
Ð Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean thebodywork and plastic parts ofyour vehicle.
Ð To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a resultof accidental damage (stonechips, scratches etc.), have
them repaired swiftly.
