The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.

tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, emergency braking or if the ve-
hicle rolls over. You can release the
d e v i c e b y p u l l i n g fi r m l y o n t h e s t r a p
and releasing it so that it re-winds
slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
-
be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- n o t b e c o n v e r t e d o r m o d i fi e d t o avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Operation
Y o u h a v e i d e n t i fi e d a p a r k i n g s p a c e :
Press button A to activate the function.
Activate the direction indicator on
the side where the space is to be
measured.
During the measuring, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
less than 12 mph (approximately
20 km/h), to prepare for your ma-
noeuvre.
The system then measures the size of the space.
The system informs you of the
l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u v r e
via a message on the multifunction
screen accompanied by an audible
signal. The function displays the following
types of message:
Parking possible
P a r k i n g d i f fi c u l t
Parking not advised The function deactivates itself automati-
cally:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- fi v e m i n u t e s a f t e r a c t i v a t i o n o f t h e
function or after the last measure-
ment operation,
- if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (approximately
70 km/h) for one minute.
- The function remains avail-able after each measure-
ment and so can measure
a number of places succes-
sively.
- In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are
not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
- The parking space sensor function deactivates the front parking sen-
sors during the space measuring
phase when you are in forward
gear.
If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. If the lateral distance between
your vehicle and the parking
space is too great, the system
may not operate.
