dicators to signal a change of direction
of the vehicle.
Lower the lights stalk when moving
to the left.
Raise the lights stalk when moving
to the right.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
A visual warning by means of the direc-
tion indicators to alert other road users to

c a t o r s fl a s h .
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, de-
pending on the deceleration, the hazard
warning lamps come on.
They will switch off automatically the
fi r s t t i m e y o u a c c e l e r a t e .
If they do not, press button A to
switch the direction indicators off.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
t r a j e c t o r y r e q u i r e d b y t h e d r i v e r .
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. They come into operation in
t h e e v e n t o f a g r i p o r t r a j e c t o r y
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g o f
this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel. Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" button, located
on the left below the steering wheel.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel and the
indicator lamp on the button
comes on, this indicates that the
ASR and ESP systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

AIR BAGS
Front air bags
Impact detection zones
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the
impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y
so that they do not hinder visibility or
the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
air bags will not be triggered; the seat
b e l t a l o n e i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e o p t i -
mum protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not
operate.
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
o u s f r o n t i m p a c t t o l i m i t t h e r i s k o f i n j u r y
to the head and chest.
The air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front pas-
senger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously in
the event of a serious front impact ap-
plied to all or part of the front impact
zone
A in the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane direct-
ed from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e
front occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission
of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
W e a r a c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d s e a t b e l t .
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
p e t , o b j e c t . . . ) . T h i s c o u l d h a m p e r t h e
o p e r a t i o n o f t h e a i r b a g s o r i n j u r e t h e
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e P E U G E O T
network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
t i o n e d a r e o b s e r v e d , a r i s k o f i n j u r y
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag

gas via openings provided for this
purpose. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or
t h e r i s k o f i n j u r y f r o m a c i g a r e t t e o r p i p e .
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the triggering of
the side air bags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of fourth gear.
The cruise control is switched off man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value. The controls of this system are grouped
together on lever
A .
1. Cruise control mode selection dial
2. Speed programming/value decrease
button
3. Speed programming/value increase
button
4. Cruise control off/resume button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel display.
5. Cruise control off/resume indication
6. Cruise control mode selection indication
7. Programmed speed value

panel
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be
exceeded temporarily by pressing the
a c c e l e r a t o r fi r m l y .
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circum-
stances, replace the need to respect
speed limits, nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the
part of the driver. The controls of this system are grouped
together on stalk
A .
1. Speed limiter mode selection dial
2. Value decrease button
3. Value increase button
4. Speed limiter on/off button The programmed information is grouped
together on the instrument panel dis-
play.
