Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)). The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
This message is also displayed when
one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection system 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 avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, par ticularly 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. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.  Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to identify the wheel or wheels which are not detected or to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control . This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control, even without snow tyres and with or without chains. In extremely severe conditions (snow on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press ver y firmly without releasing the pressure.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims), make sure that these are approved for your vehicle. Normal operation of the ABS may make itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal.
When this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message, it indicates that there is a fault with the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).  Press the "ESP OFF" button again to
reactivate it manually.
 Press the "ESP OFF" button.
This warning lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.

Safety
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 vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for shor t journeys. Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their role fully. The seat belts are fitted with an iner tia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use. Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly. The lower par t of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis. The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder. The iner tia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling firmly on the strap and
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shor ter 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 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, - not be conver ted or modified to avoid affecting its per formance. In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide. Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, 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.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact , the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on. Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
