The switch lights up and the
warning light comes on: the
ASR and ESP systems no
longer have any effect on the
engine operation.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the drive wheels
and on the engine. It also allows the
directional stability of the vehicle to be
improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP system
automatically acts on the engine and
the brake of one or more wheels, in or-
der to put the vehicle back on course,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems T h e w a r n i n g l i g h t fl a s h e s
when the ASR or ESP is ac-
tivated. Disarming
Reactivation:
Automatic if the ignition is switched
off.
Automatic from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Manual by pressing the switch
again. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the switch
l i g h t fl a s h e s a n d t h e w a r n -
ing light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-function
display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
The ASR/ESP systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these sys-
tems depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components and the electronic
components, as well as the PEUGEOT
assembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
When the ignition is on, the
ASR and ESP systems are
always activated. Operating check
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground), it may be ad-
visable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated under the steering wheel to
the right.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
Pressure check
With the ignition on and after
the engine oil level, this warn-
ing light comes on to indicate
that the system is measuring
the pressure of the tyres.
Pressure OK This warning light comes on
if all of the tyre pressure val-
ues measured are correct.
If one of the warning lights
described below appears,
refer to the corresponding paragraph.
If none of the lights appear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked. U n d e r - i n fl a t e d t y r e
This warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, locat-

Have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display locating the
punctured tyre, is followed
by illumination of the STOP-
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

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 remove the ne-
cessity for having the tyre pressure
(including that of the spare wheel)
checked regularly, to ensure optimum
dynamic performance of the vehicle
and to prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in the case of ardu-
ous driving conditions (heavy load,
high speed).
The system may temporarily be disturbed
by radio broadcasts on a frequency close
to it.
Note: if the damaged tyre is
temporarily stored in the boot,
it will again emit this message
to remind you of the necessity
of having it repaired. This will prevent
another warning of the same type be-
ing displayed.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
tyres is away from the vehi-
cle (being repaired) or when a

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of serious col-
lisions; they work in conjunction with
the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in the
impact detection zones (see diagram):
in the event of a serious impact, the air

cupants of the vehicle (with the excep-
tion of the rear centre passenger).
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 cas-
es where the air bag is disarmed, in the
event of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal cen-
treline, on a horizontal plane and from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
T h e a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia
to cushion his forward movement. In this
way, the air bags limit the risk of injury to
the head and chest.
Recommendations for
children:
* According to model. This equipment will only oper-
ate once. If a second impact
occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the air
bag will not operate.
- use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
s h o r t e r t h a n o n e m e t r e fi f t y ,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed,
- never use the same seat belt to se- cure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Depending on the nature and seri-
ousness of the impacts , the pre-ten-
sioning device may be triggered before
and independently of the air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer. Impact detection zones

lisions which are not serious, rear im-
pacts or in certain roll-over conditions.

maximum protection in these situa-
tions.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight dis-
charge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This gas may cause slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
