AIRBAGS
Front airbags
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 de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags 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
airbags will not be triggered; the
s e a t 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 -
vide optimum protection in these
situations.
The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag 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-
ous front impact to limit the risk of injury
to the head and chest.
T h e a i r b a g s a r e fi t t e d i n t h e c e n t r e o f
the steering wheel for the driver and in
the dashboard for the front passenger.
Triggering
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
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Triggering of the airbag(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
sensitive individuals may experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

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 place 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 system checked.
All work on the airbag 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-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag

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 dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the triggering of
the lateral airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

your wheels against the pavement,
apply the parking brake and en-
gage a gear.
PARKING BRAKE
Applying

to immobilise your vehicle. When the vehicle is being driv-
en, if this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, this indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been properly
released.
Releasing
Pull the parking brake lever gently,
press the release button then lower
the lever fully.

TEMPORARY REPAIR OF
A TYRE
Vehicles which are not equipped with a
spare wheel have two tyre repair aero-
sols stored in an insulated storage box
in the boot.
(See also the instructions on the aero-
sols). - Remove the foreign body if possible.
- Position the wheel so that the valve
is vertical to the ground.
- Shake the aerosol vigorously before use. (In very cold weather, warm the
aerosol for a few minutes in your
hands).
- F i x t h e a e r o s o l ’ s fl e x i b l e c o n n e c - tor onto the valve, keeping it cen-
tralised.
- Hold the valve against the hole in the wheel rim.
- Empty the 2 aerosols one after the other, held upright, until the tyre is
s a t u r a t e d ( n o f u r t h e r fl o w v i s i b l e i n
the connector)
- Remove the connector and immedia- tely drive at least 3 miles (5 km),
at moderate speed .
- If possible, check the pressure of the tyre.
- Then immediately drive at moderate
speed to the nearest garage. The aerosol cans enable you to
carry out a temporary repair (maxi-
mum speed 50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, have the vehicle exam-
ined by a professional who will
assess whether the tyre can be
repaired or must be replaced.
As the aerosol cans are pres-
surised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature above 50 °C.
Store them away from heat in
their insulated storage box.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Operating procedure for replacing a
faulty wheel with the spare wheel using
the tools provided with the vehicle.
Parking the vehicle
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
- Apply the parking brake, engage fi r s t o r r e v e r s e g e a r . Access to the spare wheel and
the jack
The wheel is located outside the ve-
hicle, under the boot, supported by a
metal carrier.
- Remove the wheelbrace
1 , secured
on the rear right inner panel of
the boot .
- Using the wheelbrace 1 , slacken the
spare wheel carrier retaining bolt,
located inside the boot under the
carpet .
- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
- Remove the jack storage case 2
located in the spare wheel. Removing a wheel
- Chock the rear of the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed.
- Remove the wheel trim using the wheelbrace, by pulling at the valve
passage hole.
- Slacken the wheel bolts.
- Place the jack under the locating point on the sub-frame E that is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the entire surface of the
jack base plate is in contact with the
ground.
- Extend the jack, completely unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel.

Fitting the wheel
- Once the wheel is in place, pre-tight-en it lightly using the wheelbrace.
- Fold the jack and remove it.
- Tighten the bolts using the wheel- brace.
- R e fi t t h e w h e e l t r i m s t a r t i n g a t t h e valve passage hole and press with
the palm of the hand. Putting the wheel back in place
- Put the jack storage case back in
the wheel.
- Put the wheel back in the carrier.
- Raise the wheel, then the carrier and reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to retighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt fully.
- Stow the wheelbrace. For your safety, always change a
wheel:
- on level, stable and non slip-
pery ground,
- with the parking brake applied, ignition off,
- w i t h fi r s t o r r e v e r s e g e a r e n - gaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- you must ensure that the oc- cupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location,
- never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an
axle stand).
The jack and all of the tools are
s p e c i fi c t o y o u r v e h i c l e . D o n o t
use them for other purposes.
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the
spare tyre checked as soon
as possible by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre re- paired and replace it on the
vehicle as soon as possible.

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome
trims.
Use the yellow tool 4 to remove the
trims before slackening the bolts.
The yellow tool 4 is located:
- in the glove box or,
- in the jack storage case. Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a steel
s p a r e w h e e l , w h e n fi t t i n g i t , i t i s
