In the event of a malfunction
If this warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact. Instrument panel warning light.
Disarming the front passenger's front air bag *
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear- facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the air bag were to
i n fl a t e .
With the ignition switched off, in-
sert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position. Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.
* According to country. When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on
the instrument panel for the
duration of disarming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact. The steering column air bag protects
the driver's knees in the event of a
serious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.

- Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the

burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
- Never remove or pierce the stee- ring wheel or hit it violently.
* According to country.

in securing the curtain air bags.
For the air bags to be fully ef-
fective, observe the following
safety rules:
- Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
- Sit in a normal upright position.
- Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.

into, have the air bag systems
checked.
- All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is car-

jury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms, when an air bag is
deployed, cannot be ruled out. The

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
Pressure Check With the ignition on and the
vehicle having been stationary
for approximately 15 minutes,
and after the engine oil level,
this indicator light comes on
on the instrument panel screen to indi-
cate that the system is measuring the
tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes
on on the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator light does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message on the
multi-function display loca-
ting 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-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d h a v e
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Note: this message is also dis-
played when one of the wheels
is away from the vehicle (be-
ing repaired) or when one or
more wheels without a sensor
a r e fi t t e d . All repairs and changing of
t y r e s o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s
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.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressure checked
regularly (see manufacturer's label) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic per-
formance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (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.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
tem may experience temporary inter-
ference due to radioelectric emissions
on a frequency close to that used by
the system.
Flat tyre
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible si gnal
and the message on the
multi-function display loca-
ting the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible si gnal
and the message on the
multi-function display which
i n d i c a t e s t h a t u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n
detection is absent from one (or seve-
ral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in

are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake pads
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services. Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
