SAFETY
The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal driv-
ing, but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observa-
tion of the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations regarding the
wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the elec-
tronic components and the as-
sembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
better to deactivate the ASC system, so
that the wheels can move freely and re-
gain grip.
Press the "ASC OFF" button, located
to the right of the steering wheel, until
the ASC OFF symbol appears in the
instrument panel screen.
The display of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel
screen indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are deactivated. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
t o m a t i c a l l y a b o v e 3 0 m p h ( 5 0 k m / h ) .
Press the "ASC OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
Switching off of the symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel
screen indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The display of this mes-
sage in the instrument
panel screen indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the ASC/TCL systems checked.
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
h i g h e r t h a n 1 0 m p h ( 1 5 k m / h ) .
Traction control and automatic
stability control
Traction control optimises traction to
prevent wheel spin, by acting on the
brakes of the driving wheels and on the
engine.
Automatic stability control acts on the
brake of one or more wheels and on the
engine to keep the vehicle on the tra-
jectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g
of this symbol on the instrument panel
screen.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- traction control (TCL),
- automatic stability control (ASC).

SAFETY
AIRBAGS The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not operate. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.

of the steering wheel; the front passen-
g e r ' s a i r b a g i s fi t t e d i n t h e d a s h b o a r d
above the glove box.
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is deactivated, in the event of a se-
rious front impact applied to all or part
of the front impact zone
A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
front to 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
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 expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.
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 im-
pact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle (with the exception of the rear
centre passenger); immediately af-
t e r t h e i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e
rapidly so that they do not hinder vis-
ibility 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.

SAFETY
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 air-
bags or injure the occupants. Lateral airbags

injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nea rer to the door than necessary.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into,
have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is car-

Even if all of the precautions men-tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag
is triggered cannot be ruled out.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on the ro of, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags. Front airbags
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.
If possible, do not smoke 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.

CVT GEARBOX
The six-speed automatic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox has two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic
control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering mounted controls
or the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre con-
sole for selecting the driving mode,
reverse gear and neutral or for
changing gear in sequential mode,

DRIVING
Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the
parking brake
instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/- .
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel screen.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear. Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position
D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in auto-
active mode, without any action on the
part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the conditions of:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain
the most suitable gear, avoid sharp vari-
ations in the pressure on the accelerator
pedal.
Auto sequential mode
In the automated mode, you can take
over control temporarily at any time us-
ing the steering mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits manual
selection of the gears in situations which
require a faster changedown than that
offered in automated mode (arrival at a
roundabout, exit from a car park with a
steep gradient, overtaking...).
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, you must apply the park-
ing brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction
screen, this indicates a gearbox mal-
function.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.
P r e s s t h e b r a k e p e d a l fi r m l y
