TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fi tted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fi tting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to
the "Technical information - Identi-
fi cation markings" page) to ensure
that the optimum dynamic perform-
ance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driv-
ing conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.

Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction. The
speed has to be above 12 mph (20 km/h).

Flat tyre
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.


)
Check the tyre pressures as soon
as possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold. This warning lamp and the STOP

warning lamp come on in the in-
strument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the multifunction screen locating
the wheel concerned.


)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.

)
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-infl ation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, to locate the wheel or wheels which
are not detected or to indicate a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s).

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 fi tted.
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor.

SAFETY

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement 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 detection
zones:


- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantane-
ously and protect the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibil-
ity of the occupants 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 suffi -
cient to provide maximum protection
in these situations.



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.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.










Front airbags

System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Operation
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless 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 vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Knee airbag *

System which protects the driver's
knees in the event of a serious front
impact.
This airbag is incorporated in the dash-
board below the steering column.

Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front airbags.








Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a violent
side impact in order to limit the risks of
injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front
seat back frame, on the door side.

Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of a violent impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B
, operating at
right angles to the longitudinal axis of
the vehicle in a horizontal plane and
from the exterior of the vehicle towards
the interior.
The lateral airbag comes between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
The airbag may not be deployed in
an impact or minor accident on the
side of the vehicle.
The airbag is not deployed in a
front or rear impact.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message in the screen, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a violent impact.

SAFETY
104


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 system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned 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. Indeed, the bag
infl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.

*
According to country.
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 dashboard.
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.

Knee airbag *
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.

Lateral airbags
Only use approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see the "Practical information - Accessories"
section)
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.

CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains
the speed of the vehicle at the value
programmed by the driver, without any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The cruise control is switched on

manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), as well as
the engaging of:


- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,

- second gear on an automatic gearbox
in sequential mode,

- position D
on an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
man-
ually or by pressing the brake or clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP sys-
tem for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
