Operating fault
When a malfunction of the system oc-
curs, the warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Instrument panel indicator light.
The ESP offers exceptional
safety during normal driving,
but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks
(late braking) or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of the system depends
on compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking compo-
nents, the electronic components and
the PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS increases the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slip-
pery road surfaces.
This system comes into operation
automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
This indicates that the ABS is
faulty.
It also comes on on the instru-
ment panel screen.
If it comes on permanently above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system enables
the optimum braking pressure to be
reached more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an in-
c r e a s e i n b r a k i n g e f fi c i e n c y .
When braking in an emergency, press
fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s i n g t h e p r e s s u r e .
In emergency braking, press
v e r y fi r m l y w i t h o u t r e l e a s -
ing the pressure.
Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. They supplement the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detec-
tion zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the air-
b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o
not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e m a x i m u m p r o -
tection in these situations. Front airbags
The front airbags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
T h e y a r e fi t t e d i n t h e c e n t r e o f t h e
steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more airbags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front airbag is deactivated, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane 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.
The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent accident),
the airbag will not operate.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
D e fl a t e d t y r e Instrument panel display warn-
ing lamp.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the mul-
tifunction screen identifying the wheel
concerned.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Puncture
This warning lamp, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multifunction screen identifying the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the 'STOP' warning lamp. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,
avoiding any sudden movement of the
steering wheel and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d h a v e

possible.

system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system re-
initialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
T h e t y r e u n d e r - i n fl a t i o n d e t e c t i o n s y s -
tem 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 eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (see the label on
the door pillar) to ensure that the op-
timum dynamic performance of the
vehicle is maintained and prevent pre-
mature wear of the tyres, particularly
in arduous driving conditions (heavy
load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.

ence due to electromagnetic emissions
on a frequency close to that used by the
system.

displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a sensor
