  The air conditioning system does 
not contain chlorine and does not 
present any danger to the ozone 
layer.  RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
 
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and main-
tenance guidelines below: 
   
 
 ) 
  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air 
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents 
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot. 
   
 ) 
  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used 
for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. 
   
 ) 
  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or 
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order. 
   
 ) 
  Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and 
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).  
  We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter. 
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation  of 
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy de-
posits). 
   
 ) 
  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also 
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the servicing 
booklet. 
   
 ) 
  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
  When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, 
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so 
improves the towing ability.  
   
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, fi rst 
ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments.  
Put the air fl ow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment. 
   
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of 
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

  The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving, 
but this should not encourage the 
driver to take extra risks or drive at 
high speed. 
  The correct functioning of these 
systems depends on observation 
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, 
the electronic components and the 
PEUGEOT assembly and opera-
tion procedures. 
  After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
     
 
Deactivation 
  In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in 
snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the ASR and ESP 
systems, so that the wheels can move 
freely and regain grip. 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button, located 
in the centre of the dashboard.  
  If this warning lamp comes on on the in-
strument panel and the indicator lamp on 
the button comes on, this indicates that the 
ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.  
   
Reactivation 
  These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched 
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). 
   
 
 ) 
  Press the  "ESP OFF" 
 button again 
to reactivate them manually.  
    
Operating fault 
   
If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a 
malfunction of these systems. 
 
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. 
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS 
   
Activation 
  These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started. 
   
Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and 
electronic stability programme 
(ESP) 
  They come into operation in 
the event of a grip or trajectory 
problem. 
  This is indicated by fl ashing  of 
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.  
     
The anti-slip regulation (also known as 
Traction Control) optimises traction to 
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels 
and on the engine. 
  The electronic stability programme acts 
on the brake of one or more wheels and 
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the 
trajectory required by the driver, within 
the limits of the laws of physics.

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.

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.
