Operating check
When a malfunction of the sys- tems occurs, the switch lightflashes and the warning lightcomes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-
sage 'ESP/ASR system faulty' on the
multi-function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.
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 system,so that the wheels can move freelyand regain grip.
Press the 'ESP OFF'
switch, located under thesteering wheel to the left.
The switch lights up and thewarning light comes on,accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
'ASR/ESP system de-acti-vated' on the multiÐfunction
display : the ASR and ESP systems
no longer have any effect on theengine operation. These are triggered again :
 automatically if the ignition is
switched off,
 manually by pressing the switchagain.DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) AND
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) These systems are linked and com-
plementary to the ABS system. In the event of a significant variation between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP system acts automaticallyon the engine and on the brake ofone or more wheels, to put the vehi-cle back on course. The traction control (ASR) system optimises drive, in order to avoid thewheels slipping, by acting on thebrakes of the drive wheels and onthe engine. It also enables the direc-tional stability of the vehicle to beimproved during acceleration. Operation of the ESP
and ASR systems
When one of the two sys-tems is in operation, thisindicator light flashes.
The ESP system offers exceptional safety in nor-mal driving, but this shouldnot encourage the driver totake 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 malfunctionIf this warning light comes on, accompanied by abuzzer and the message"Air bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.

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 theforce limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis 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. Otherwise, the child would risk being killed or seriously injured ifthe air bag were to inflate.  With the ignition switched of f,
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 the instrument panel is lit throughoutthe disarming 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 themessage "Passenger air
bag deactivated" on the multifunc-
tion display, indicates that the pas-senger air bag is disarmed (switch inthe "OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS The side air bags are incorporated in the front and rear seat backs, on thedoor side. The curtain air bags are incorporated into the door pillars and the upperpart of the passenger compartment. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision 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 comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warningin the event of malfunction (speedgreater than 15mph [25 km/h]). Flat tyre When this warning light comes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multi-function
display, have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible. Puncture
This warning light, accom- panied by an audible signaland the message 'Punc-
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multi-function display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheeland the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured orvery deflated) tyre, and have the tyrepresure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is temporari-
ly stored in the boot, it will again emitthis message to remind you of the
necessity of having it repaired. This willprevent another warning of the sametype being displayed.
Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-panied by an audible signaland the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss-ing ' on the multi-function
display, indicates that under-inflationdetection is absent from one (or sev-eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or whena wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fittedwith this system must becarried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detec-tion system is an aid to drivingwhich does not replace theneed for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly. This system does not remove the necessity for having the tyre pres-sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, toensure optimum dynamic perfor-mance of the vehicle and to pre-vent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in the case of arduousdriving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts ona frequency close to it.
