When the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp A
comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display, if the driver
and/or the front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning lamp fl ashes for two
minutes accompanied by an audible signal of increasing volume. Once
these two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on until the
driver and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.
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.

SAFETY





AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants in the event of violent collisions. They supplement 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
instantaneously and protect the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility 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. 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 sensitive individuals may
experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

FRONT AIRBAGS

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 fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above the glove box.


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 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 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 forward movement.


Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key in the passenger airbag
deactivation switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

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.

It is only possible to change from one gear to another if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit; otherwise, the gearbox will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.

M
and the gears engaged manually appear in succession in
the instrument panel.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the gear selected
fl ashes for a few seconds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M

(manual) at any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving very slowly, the gearbox
selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not operate in manual mode.


Invalid value during manual operation

This symbol is displayed if a gear is not engaged correctly
(selector between two positions).



STOPPING THE VEHICLE

Before switching off the engine, you can engage position P
or N
to
place the gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle. If the lever is not in position P
, when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the ignition is switched off, there is
an audible signal is heard accompanied by a message.


)
Return the lever to position P
; the audible signal stops and the
message disappears.



OPERATING FAULT

When the ignition is on, the illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to emergency mode and is locked in
3rd gear. You may feel a substantial knock when changing from P
to R

and from N
to R
. This will not cause any damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed restrictions
permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if a door is opened.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:


- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same
time,

- if you force the lever from position P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption during a long period stationary with
the engine running (traffi c jam, etc.), place the gear lever in
position N
and apply the parking brake.

SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
