the pressure on the accelerator pedal
gradually and return to a speed below that
programmed. Function selected,

running while stationary or with the vehicle
moving. The minimum speed which can be
programmed is 20 mph (30 km/h).

pressure of the driver's foot as far as the
accelerator pedal point of resistance which
indicates that the programmed speed has
been reached.

Metal suspension

This equipment adopts long movement
limiters which make it possible to guarantee
stable behaviour both when loaded and
when empty. No action on your part is
required except to ensure that maintenance
is carried out and that the authorised loads
are complied with. the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
height correction and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of
automatic regulation is located on the
right-hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION

Two types of suspension are available. You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported
by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...



Rear suspension with pneumatic
height correction
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
Two functions


1.
Automatic height
correction

2.
Manual height
correction


1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height
of the rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic height correction is
temporarily inactive:


- if a door/the tailgate is open,

- when braking or when stopped at a red
traffic signal (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
According to the configurations, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowly
until this warning lamp goes off. Return to automatic height correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side.
Impact detection zones


A.
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 qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.


Deployment
It is 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.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.


Curtain airbags

This is a system which protects the driver
and passengers (with the exception of the
centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the event of
a serious side impact in order to limit the risk
of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in the
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment.

Deployment
It 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
, perpendicular
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.

Deactivating
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
, insert
the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.

Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger's airbag
will not be deployed in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger's front airbag has been deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A
in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane directed from the front towards
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.

Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT or
a qualified workshop.
