Illumination of this warninglight and of the STOPwarn-
ing light, accompanied byan audible signal (while thevehicle is being driven) and
the message "handbrake on" on
the multi-function display, indicatesthat the handbrake is still on or hasnot been properly released.
Operating abnormality Any operating abnormality is indicat- ed by an audible signal, accompa-nied by the message
"Automatic
gear fault" on the multi-function dis-
play, "Ð"and flashing of the Sport
and Snow warning lights on theinstrument panel. In this situation the gearbox operates in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd
gear). You may feel a substantialknock when changing from Pto R
and from Nto R(this will not cause
any damage to the gearbox). Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping within the limit of localspeed restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. HANDBRAKE Applying Pull the handbrake to immobilise your vehicle.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
(ABS) AND THE ELECTRONICBRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION(EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the electronic brake force distribution,increases the stability andmanoevrability of your vehicle onbraking, in particular on poor or slip-pery road surfaces. Note:
when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are approved. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS maymake itself felt by slight vibrationsof the brake pedal. In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.EMERGENCY BRAKING
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 by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in theresistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
When this warning lightcomes on, connected to the
STOP
and ABS warning
lights, accompanied by abuzzer and the message
'Braking fault' , it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the electronicbrake force distribution, which cancause a loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.
Stop immediately. In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.

When this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buzzer and themessage "ABS fault" , it indicates
that there is a malfunction of theABS, which can cause a loss ofcontrol of the vehicle when braking.

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 on the central section of the fascia.
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,
 automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h),
 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 the systems occurs, the switchlight flashes and the warninglight comes on, accompa-nied by an audible signal
and the message "ESP/ASR not
functioning" on the multifunction
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety innormal driving, but thisshould not encourage thedriver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems depends on observationof the manufacturer's recommen-dations regarding the wheels (tyresand rims), the braking components,the electronic components, and thePEUGEOT assembly and opera-tion procedures. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless ofthe road characteristics and withoutthe driver having to touch the accel-erator or brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than25 mph (40 km/h) (manual gearbox)or 40 mph (60 km/h) (automaticgearbox) and fourth gear at leastmust be engaged (second gear forthe automatic gearbox). Operation 
Place switch 1in the ONposition.
A speed can be memorised.  Place switch 1in the OFFposi-
tion to cancel.
Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press button 2or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note: It is possible to accelerate and
drive momentarily at a speed greater than the memorised speed. Whenthe accelerator pedal is released, thevehicle will return to the memorisedspeed. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed:  press button 4or the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
4.
Your vehicle will return to the last memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than the previous one:  press button 3;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than theprevious one:  press button 2;
 release it when you have reached the required speed.
Cancelling the cruise control  Place switch 1in the OFFposi-
tion or switch off the ignition.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or inheavy traffic.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of four proximi- ty sensors, located in the rear
bumper, and a special speaker. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind thevehicle. Nevertheless, it cannotdetect obstacles located just below
the bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road- works cone or any other similarobject may be detected at the begin-ning of the manoeuvre, but may nolonger be detected when the vehiclecomes close to it. Note:
this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-rier is fitted (vehicle fitted with towingattachment or bicycle carrier recom-mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. Activation The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged; an audiblebleep shows that it is active. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, which becomesmore rapid as the vehicle approach-es the obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle isless than thirty centimetres, the audi-ble signal becomes continuous.Deactivation 
In neutral, the system is again inactive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating fault, the audible signalwill be a short bleep fol-lowed by a long bleepwhen changing to reverse
gear.

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 vehi-cle: if the triggering threshold isreached, the air bags inflate instantlyand protect the occupants of thevehicle. 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 seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi-cient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obsta-cle and the speed of the vehicle atthe 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 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 passengerair 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.
* 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" 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 deac-
tivated" on the multifunction display,
indicates that the passenger air bagis disarmed (switch in the "OFF"
position). SIDE AIR BAGS The side air bags are incorporated in the backs of the front seats, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of
each other, on whichever side thecollision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multi-func-
tion display.
If this indicator light comeson, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage "Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to have thesystem checked.

For the front, side and curtain air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
¥ Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
¥ Sit in a normal upright position.
¥ Do not leave anything between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags (a child, pet, object). This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.
¥ All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT net- work.
¥ After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked. Front air bags
¥ Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
¥ Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
¥ Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
¥ Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently. Side air bags
¥ Only put approved covers on the front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT dealer.
¥ Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag inflates.
¥ Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
