SAFETY
136
If even one of the two airbag
warning lamps comes on con-
tinuously, 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.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if
the passenger's front airbag is
activated. 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.
According to version, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and/or in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning
lamps display when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reactivated.
If this warning lamp fl ashes in the
instrument panel and/or in the
seat belt and 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.
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.
SAFETY

Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front,
in the outer side of the seat back frame.
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone B
, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars
and the upper passenger compartment
area.
Operating fault
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in
the event of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B
, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from the outside towards the inside of the
vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact
or bump on the side of the
vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the airbag is not deployed.
Impact detection zones

Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
If this warning lamp comes
on in 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 airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact. The lateral airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door panel.
DRIVING

With the vehicle stationary, to apply the
parking brake, pull
on control lever A
.
The application of the parking brake is
confi rmed by:
-
lighting of the braking warning
lamp and of the warning lamp P
in the control lever A
,
When the driver’s door is opened with the
hybrid system active, there is an audible
signal and a message is displayed if the
parking brake has not been applied.
Manual release
With the ignition on or the hybrid system
active, to release the parking brake, press
on the brake
pedal
or the accelerator, pull
then release
control lever A
.
The full application of the parking brake
is confi rmed by:
-
extinction of the braking warn-
ing lamp and of the warning
lamp P
in control lever lever A
,
If you pull control lever A
with-
out pressing the brake pedal,
the parking brake will not be
released and a warning lamp
will come on in the instrument
panel.
Manual application
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application
of the parking brake. It is
obtained by means of a long pull
on
control lever A
, until you see a message
that the parking brake is on accompa-
nied by an audible signal is heard.
In the case of towing a trailer
or parking on a gradient, make
a maximum application of the
parking brake then turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the re-
lease time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that parking brake
warning lamp in the instrument
panel is on fi xed, not fl ashing.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a
trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the
parking brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked
on is variable in its effect (e.g. on a
ferry, in a lorry, during towing).
- display of a message that the
parking brake is on.
- display of a message that
the parking brake is off.

When stationary, with the hybrid
system active, do not press the
accelerator pedal unnecessarily,
as you may release the parking
brake.
Application of the parking brake is con-
fi rmed by:

Particular situations
EMERGENCY BRAKING
In the event of a failure of the main ser-
vice brake or in an exceptional situation
(e.g. driver taken ill, under instruction,
etc) a continuous pull on control lever
A
will stop the vehicle
.
The dynamic stability control system
(DSC) provides stability during emer-
gency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions,
one of the following messages will be
displayed:
- "Parking brake faulty".
- "Parking brake control faulty".
In certain situations (e.g. starting the
hybrid system), the parking brake
can automatically alter its force. This
is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centi-
metres without starting the engine, but
with the ignition on, press on the brake
pedal and release the parking brake by
pulling
then releasing
control lever A
.
The full release of the parking brake is
confi rmed by the extinction of warning
lamp in control lever A
and of the warn-
ing lamp in the instrument panel and
display of a message that the parking
brake is off.
If the parking brake malfunctions
while applied
or if the battery runs
fl at, an emergency release is always
possible.
If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by illumination of this
warning lamp, then braking sta-
bility is not guaranteed.
The emergency braking must
only be used in exceptional
circumstances.
In this event, stability must be assured
by the driver by repeating alternate "pull
release" actions on control lever A
.

part of the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on
man-

of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
This information also appears
in the head-up display.

System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator ped-
al no longer has any effect unless it is
pressed fi rmly, which permits temporary
exceeding of the programmed speed.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed by releasing the
accelerator.

Cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake pedal or on
triggering of the "dynamic stability con-

It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
This information also appears
