ELECTRONICALLY
CONTROLLED SUSPENSION
The suspension adapts automatically
and instantly to different driving styles
and road characteristics, improving
the comfort of the occupants and
the vehicle's road holding capabili-
ties. The suspension favours smooth
shock absorption, ensuring a comfort-
able ride, but as soon as conditions
demand a change (sporty driving,
tight bends, avoidance action, etc.)
it automatically selects irmer shock
absorption, guaranteeing optimum
road holding.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four prox-
imity sensors, located in the rear
bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
cyclist, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) be-
hind the vehicle. Nevertheless, it
cannot detect obstacles located just
below the bumper.
Warning:
an object, such as a stake,
a roadworks cone or any other simi-
lar object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre may no longer be
detected during the manoeuvre.
To make manoeuvres in reverse gear
easier, adjust your mirrors in accord-
ance with the "Automatic tilting of the
mirrors in reverse gear" function.
Maintenance: ensure that the sen-
sors are not covered with mud, frost
or snow.
Deactivation
F Press the switch on the centre
console.
The indicator light on the switch
comes on and the system becomes
completely inactive.
If there is an operating fault,
on changing to reverse gear
a warning light on the instru-
ment panel, an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display indicate that there is a sys-
tem malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle's rear speakers emit an
audible signal:
- on the right if an obstacle is
detected on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected on the left,
- on the right and left if an obstacle is detected in the centre.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than approximately twenty-ive centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle.
Switching the system off
F Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure
during driving and trigger a warning
in the event of malfunction.
Flat tyre
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompa-
nied by the message on the multi-
function display locating the wheel
concerned.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the multi-
function display locating the wheel
concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message
on the multi-function display locating
the wheel concerned, is followed by
illumination of the 'STOP' warning
light. Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very delated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
Instrument panel
warning light.
This is accompanied
by the mesage on the multifunction display
which indicates that under-inlation detec-
tion is absent from one (or several) wheel(s)
or that there is a fault in the system.
Instrument panel
display warning
light.
This is accom-
panied by the audible signal and
the message on the multi-function
display which indicates that under-
inlation detection is absent from one
(or several) wheel(s) or that there is
a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is itted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel itted with
this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for the
driver to be vigilant or to drive re-
sponsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufactur-
er's label on the door pillar) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained and
prevent premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in arduous driving condi-
tions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month.
Remember to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

reit the trim covers. Punctured tyre warning
light
Information on the instrument
panel:
F
Put the tool holder back in posi-
tion. This helps to keep the boot
loor in its correct position, to pre-
vent any deformation of the loor
when loaded.
F Tighten the spare wheel securing
strap to prevent noise and for your
safety in the event of impact.
Reminder: for your safety, always
change a wheel:
- on level, stable, non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with irst or reverse gear engaged (position P for the automatic gear-
box),
- never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack. Tyre under-inlation
detection system warning
light
These original wheels are itted with
a pressure sensor (see paragraph
"Tyre under-inlation detection"). The
alarm which detects the removal or
absence of a wheel itted with the
indicator sensor signals the anom-
aly. Have the wheel repaired and
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure of the spare wheel
checked as soon as possible.
- have the punctured wheel repaired and reit it to the vehicle as soon as
possible.
- have the spare wheel checked and replace it in its boot recess.

Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use tool
6 to remove the trims before
slackening the bolts. Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is itted with a steel
spare wheel, when itting it, it is
normal
when tightening the bolts to
notice that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The spare
wheel is secured by the cone shape
of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you it snow tyres mounted on steel
wheels onto your vehicle, it is es-
sential to use special bolts available
from your PEUGEOT dealer.
PARTIAL REMOVABLE
CLOSER*
The partial removable closer is a
cover which is clipped onto the air
intake grille to prevent the accumula-
tion of snow due to direct splashes.
Once it has been itted on your vehi-
cle, it is imperative that it is removed
when the ambient temperature con-
ditions rise above 10 °C again.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Tyres of size 215/55 R 17
cannot be itted with stand-
ard snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to country.
Special features of alloy

Anti-theft bolts
Your wheels are itted with anti-
theft bolts (one per wheel), placed
under chrome trims which must be
removed using tool 6, before the
bolts are unscrewed using one of the
two anti-theft sockets and the wheel
brace 1.
Note: these anti-theft sockets were
given to you on delivery of your
vehicle with the duplicate keys and
the conidential card. Make a careful
note of the code number engraved
on the head of the anti-theft socket.
This will enable you to obtain a
duplicate anti-theft socket from a
PEUGEOT dealer. You are advised
to do the same for the duplicate keys
and not to leave the conidential card
in the vehicle.
