Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph
(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.
All repairs and changing of tyres on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),
you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

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 fitted.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system 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 avoid the need
to have the tyre pressures checked
regularly (refer to "Identification
markings") to ensure that the optimum
dynamic per formance of the vehicle
is maintained and prevent premature
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. Remember to
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
inter ference due to electromagnetic
signals on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre

This warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the instrument
panel screen identifying the wheel concerned.


)
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the
brakes.

)
Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.



Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty



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

Safety
Airbags


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 (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
cer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide optimum protection in
these situations.

The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If
a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent accident),
the airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.



Impact detection zones



A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
















Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or par t 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 inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their
for ward movement. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

engine oil is changed.

Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for details of
the replacement inter val for this
component.


Oil filter






The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop is required when replacing
or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation may
shor ten the life of the battery.










Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Display of this warning lamp or a specific
message, together with the ser vice warning lamp,
indicates the star t of saturation of the par ticle
filter or low level in the Diesel additive reser voir.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the ser vice warning lamp goes off.
If the ser vice warning lamp stays on,
this indicates a low additive level. Have
the additive reser voir topped up and
the par ticle emission filter ser viced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
