TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of
the tyres while driving.
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. Sensors fi tted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
Under-inflated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message
identifying the wheel concerned.
)
Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

SAFETY
TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
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.

The warning lamp B
or C
for the corresponding seat comes on in red if
the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
The front seat belts are fi tted with a pretensioning and force limiting
system.
This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or
side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pretensioning
system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of
the occupant, so improving their protection.
