Mud mode
Mode which, when moving off allowsconsiderable spin on the wheel with the leastgrip to optimise clearing of the mud and regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the mostgrip is controlled in such a way as to pass as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as
fullyas possible.
) Place the dial in this position.
Sand mode
Mode which allows little spin on the two drivingwheels at the same time to allow the vehicle tomove for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
)Place the dial in this position.
D
o not use the other modes on sand as thevehicle may become stuck.
DSC OFF mode
)
Place the dial in this position.
This mode is active up to 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on other less passable terrainoccasionally.
However, it does not permit all-terrain activities such as:
- crossing and driving on terrainwhich could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...) due toobstacles or stones in particular,
- driving on terrain with steepgradients and poor grip,
- crossing a stream.

Safety
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or par t 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 hip andshoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
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 compar tment area.
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 collision, the airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t 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 cur tain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warnin
g lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Practical information
Fitting a wheel
Fitting the "space-saver"spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is normal to notice that the washers
do not come into contact with the"space-saver" spare wheel. The wheel is secured by the conical surface of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the central cover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h). Have the tightening of the bolts and thepressure of the spare wheel checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay. Have the punctured wheel repairedand refitted to the vehicle as soon as possible.
List of operations
)Put the wheel in place on the hub. )Screw in the bolts fully by hand. )Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1fitted with the security socket 4 (if your vehicle has them). )Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.
