INTERIOR LIGHTING

Front courtesy lamp

This is located in the centre of the roof.
It can be activated by:


- tilting the lens,

- opening or closing a door,

- locking or unlocking the vehicle.
It switches off automatically, after a few
minutes, if the doors remain open, or when
the ignition is switched on.
The courtesy lamp may be fitted with an
alarm sensor, a microphone for the hands-
free kit and reading lights.
The reading lampshave right-hand and
left-hand switches.


Rear courtesy lamp

This is located on the upper part of the rear
right side.
Press the side of the courtesy lamp lens to
switch it on or off.
It comes on automatically when a door is
opened.


Good practice

It switches off automatically:


- if the switch is not pressed down,

- in all cases within approximately
15 minutes if the doors remain open,

- when the ignition is switched on,

- when the vehicle is locked.



Boot lamp

This is located in the centre of the torch
base.
The lamp operates in accordance with the
three positions of the switch below.
Permanently on.
In this "AUTO" position, it comes
on gradually when the vehicle is

SAFETY


Driving safely

PARKING BRAKE

Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, the change of direction function, via the
right-hand or left-hand direction indicator,
is deactivated.

Driving safely

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.


Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:


- anti-lock braking system (ABS),

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

- emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.


When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault with
the anti-lock braking system which could result in
loss of control of the vehicle when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS
warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.

You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Good practice
The ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.

SAFETY


Seat belts



Good practice

The driver must ensure that all passengers
fasten their seat belts correctly.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is reeled in
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat, ensure that
the seat belt has reeled in correctly into its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a PEUGEOT
or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or less than one
and a half metres tall,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 5.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle,
refer to a qualified workshop that has the
skills an equipment needed, all of which can
be provided by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
available from PEUGEOT dealers.

Airbags





AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, 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 inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone is sufficient to provide maximum
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or 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 sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 5.
