CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed program-
med by the driver, regardless of theroad characteristics and without thedriver having to touch the acceleratoror brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater thanapproximately 25 mph (40 km/h) andfourth or fifth gear must be engaged. The cruise control controls are loca- ted on the steering wheel. Operation ☞Press control A(ON position).
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Press control D(OFF position) to
cancel. Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press control
Bor C. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note : It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the cruise control. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed: ☞ press button Dor the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
E.
Y our vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one: ☞ press button B;
☞ release it when you have rea- ched the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the

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 theseat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe 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 notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle 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 on the instrument panel,
contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system chec-ked. Disarming the passenger air bag*

For the front and side* air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
¥W
ear 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.
¥ The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the date of registration of thevehicle.
For greater safety, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer within 10 years of purchase of the vehicle.
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.

Removing the wheel ☞Place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite to the one tobe changed.
☞ Remove the trim, using thewheelbrace 4, pulling at the valve
passage hole.
☞ Loosen the wheel bolts using thewheelbrace 4.
☞ Place the jack 1in contact with
one of the four locating points E
on the sub-frame, (the one whichis closest to the wheel to bechanged).
☞ Extend the jack 1using the rat-
chet spanner 2until its base is in
contact with the ground. Ensurethat the centre line of the base ofthe jack is straight above thelocating point E. ☞
Raise the vehicle.
☞ Unscrew the bolts and removethe wheel.
Fitting a wheel ☞ Position the wheel.
☞ Tighten the bolts by hand.
☞ Partly tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace 4.
