SAFETY
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR) AND
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting 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.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
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
instrument panel.
SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE (INTELLIGENT
TRACTION CONTROL)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.
This automatic system continuously checks for situations of diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control
limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful
to temporarily deactivate the ESP/ASR
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which is bogged down,
stuck in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be advisable 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 on the instrument panel and the indicator
lamp on the button come on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.
This action also deactivates the automatic operation of the
hazard warning lamps.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is
switched back on.
)
You can also press the "ESP OFF"
button again to reactivate them
manually.
This action also reactivates the automatic operation of the hazard
warning lamps.
Operating fault
The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive
at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations on
- wheels (tyres and rims),
- braking components,
- electronic components,
- assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop dealer.

SAFETY
ACTIVE BONNET
Operating fault
The active bonnet has been designed to maximise the safety of
pedestrians in the event of an impact with the front of the vehicle.
The triggering of the active bonnet is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge integrated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, close the bonnet by pressing on the hinges.
Go to the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop at a
maximum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). This equipment can only be triggered once. If a second impact
occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the active
bonnet will not be triggered.
After an accident or theft of the vehicle, have the system checked.
Do not handle the pyrotechnic systems, located under the bonnet
near the struts: risk of explosion.
All work on this system is strictly prohibited unless carried out by
skilled personnel of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to
have the system checked. The active bonnet may no longer
be triggered in the event of an impact.

SAFETY
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is
activated.
If even one of the two airbag warning lamps comes on
continuously, do not install a child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the
screen, contact 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 serious impact.
If this warning lamp fl ashes in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The passenger's front airbag may no
longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
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.

HILL STA R T ASSIST
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily
(approximately 2 seconds) when starting on a gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
OPERATION
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake
pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deactivated.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill start assist
phase.
OPERATING FAULT
If a malfunction of the system occurs, these warning lamps come on.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:
- provided you are in fi rst gear or neutral on a manual gearbox,
- provided you are in position D
or M
on an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.
If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brake and ensure that this warning lamp
on the instrument panel is permanently on.

According to engine.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
OPERATION
The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi guration of the road, the amount of traffi c
and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (fi rm pressure on the accelerator pedal,
for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.
The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of
an arrow accompanied by the suggested gear.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear,
if appropriate.
