SAFETY
Driving safely
HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel. Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result
in loss of control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes
on, together with the
ABS
warning lamp, accompanied by
a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Good practice
The ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
For maximum braking efficiency,
a bedding-in period of around
300 miles (500 kilometres) is needed. During
this period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.

Airbags
For the Airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the Airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the Airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the Airbag
systems checked.
All work on the Airbag systems is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by the
qualified personnel of a PEUGEOT dealer .
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an Airbag
is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose. Front Airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting 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 Airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Side Airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats.
These will not hinder the triggering of the
side Airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer .
Do not fix or glue anything to the seat backs.
This could cause injury to the chest or arms
when the side Airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Airbags
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front Airbags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger's front Airbag has been disarmed,
in the event of a serious front impact.
The front Airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement. Disarming
The passenger's front Airbag alone can be
disarmed. The Airbag is disarmed from the
trip computer.
The Airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming. To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
Airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the Airbag were to inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF on the
"Passenger Airbag" menu. Operating fault
If the two Airbag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer . If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay
to have the system checked. The Airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.

QUICK HELP
Having your vehicle towed
BEING TOWED
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).
From the front
In the front bumper, unclip the cover on the
right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Unlock the steering by turning the the
ignition key one notch and release the
parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only. On the towed vehicle, the gear
lever must be put in neutral; failure
to observe this special condition
may result in damage to certain braking
components (brakes, transmission...) and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is started.
From the rear
In the rear bumper, unclip the cover at the
bottom using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only. General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
