Courtesy lamp
This is a double courtesy lamp located in the
centre of the roof. It can be activated by means of:
- the switches located on the courtesy lamp,
with the ignition on - RUNNING position,
- opening or closing one of the front
doors,
- locking/unlocking the vehicle.
It switches off automatically:
- if the switch is not pressed to the right or
to the left,
- in all cases after 15 minutes, if the doors
remain open or when the ignition is
switched on.
Reading lamps
These are controlled by the switches.
The driver's switch controls both reading
lamps simultaneously.
The passenger switch controls either the
driver's reading lamp or the passenger's
reading lamp.
Fittings/storage compartment in the
door trays
Controls located at bottom left of
the dashboard allow the driver to
activate/deactivate the passenger
spotlamp.

PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION
If your vehicle is fitted with pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear of the vehicle to make loading and
unloading easier.
The control panel is located on the
dashboard.
There is a nominal level as well as 6 height
adjustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3) or
lowering (from -1 to -3). Each level reached
is indicated on the instrument panel screen.
Manual adjustment of the loadingheight
Raise: upwards adjustment of the load
floor
Make a quick press on the control
to select the next level up. Each
press (LED on) raises the floor by
one level: +1 to +3.
A long press selects the highest
level (+3).
Lower: downwards adjustment of the
load floor
Make a quick press on the control
to select the next level down.
Each press (LED on) lowers the
floor by one level: -1 to -3.
A long press selects the lowest
level (-3).

Driving safely
SAFETY
When a malfunction of the ESP
system occurs, this warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and confirmed by a
message on the screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
incite the driver to take risks or to drive at
high speed.
The operation of these systems is ensured
if the recommendations of the manufacturer
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT network
are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery
surfaces (snow, black ice, mud...)
This system checks for situations of difficult
surface adhesion that could make it difficult
to move off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control
takes over from the ASR
system,
by transferring drive to the wheel with the
best grip on the ground to provide the best
traction and trajectory control.
Activation
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to activate the system; the warning lamp in
the button comes on.
The system is active up to about 18 mph
(30 km/h).
Once the speed exceed 18 mph (30 km/h,
the system is deactivated automatically, but
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 18 mph
(30 km/h).

Driving safely
Deactivation
Press the button, located on the dashboard,
to deactivate the system; the warning lamp
in the button goes off and the ASR
system is
active again.
Operating fault
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel if there is a
fault with the system.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the speed of your vehicle can be limited
to a fixed speed of approximately 55 mph
(90 km/h) or 60 mph (100 km/h). This
maximum speed cannot be changed.
A label in the passenger compartment
indicates this maximum speed.
The fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

Airbags
122
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
- in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
- in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.
Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

Airbags
124
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
