This airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
below the steering column.

Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the
front airbags.

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-

warning lamps display for ap-
proximately 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 be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.

Lateral 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 chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted:


- in the front, in the seat back frame,
on the door side,

- in the rear, in the side trim (except
SW models).

Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilater-
ally 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 to-
wards 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
, per-
pendicular to the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane and di-
rected 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-

HILL START ASSIST *

System which keeps your vehicle im-
mobilised temporarily (approximately
2 seconds) when starting on a gradi-
ent, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
This function is only active when:


- the vehicle is completely stationary,
with your foot on the brake pedal,

- in particular conditions on a slope,

- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist cannot be deacti-
vated.

On an ascending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you release
the brake pedal and you are in fi rst
gear or neutral.



Operation


On a descending slope, with the ve-
hicle stationary and reverse gear en-
gaged, the vehicle is held for a brief
moment when you release the brake
pedal.



*
Model fi tted with the 1.6 litre THP 200 hp

ently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then engage
position D
to accelerate.

When the engine is running at
idle, with the brakes released, if
position R
, D
or M
is selected, the
vehicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.
When the engine is running, never
leave children in the vehicle with-

selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the lever, press the accelera-
tor pedal down fully (kick down). The
gearbox changes down automatically
or maintains the gear selected until the
maximum engine speed is reached.
On braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effi cient engine
braking.
If you release the accelerator sharply,
the gearbox will not change to a higher
gear for safety reasons. Never select position N
while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless
the vehicle is completely stationary.

Sport and snow programmes

engaged appear in succes-
sion on 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 mov-
ing 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 posi-
tions).



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, an audible
signal is heard and a message ap-
pears in the screen.


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




Operating fault


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 posi-
tion P
to another position when
the battery is fl at.
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
indicates a gearbox fault.
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 per-
mitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
This warning lamp may also come on if
a door is opened.
