tain speed and a certain angle of rota-
tion of the steering wheel.
Operating fault
The function is activated or
deactivated via the multi-
function screen confi gura-
tion menu.

SEAT BELTS ROLL-OVER BARS
System which protects all of the oc-
cupants restrained by their seat belt
should the vehicle roll over.
The roll-over bars are built into the back
of the rear bench seat. Their presence
is indicated by the words "Rollover Pro-
tection".
Activation
They are triggered simultaneously should
the vehicle roll over.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
to have the system checked.
In order to guarantee the correct opera-
tion and the deployment of the roll-over
bars if roll-over is detected, the follow-
ing conditions must be complied with:
- no accessory which is not recom-mended by PEUGEOT should be
in contact with or fi xed to the roll-
over bars,
- no object should block or stop the movement of the roll-over bars,
- the area above the roll-over bars should be clear of any objects.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of front impacts. De-
pending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the oc-
cupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the occupant's chest.
This improves their protection.

To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger's
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall a "rearward facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed. If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rearward facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:
with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1 ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either in
the instrument panel or in the
central panel when the ignition
is on and until the airbag is re-
activated. Reactivation
When you remove a "rearward facing"
child seat, turn switch
1 to the "ON" po-
sition to reactivate the airbag and so as-
sure the safety of your front passenger
in the event of an impact. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop without
delay to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.

This airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
below the steering column.
Deployment
It is deployed at the same time as the
front airbags.
Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a violent
side impact in order to limit the risks of
injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front
seat back frame, on the door side.
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of a violent impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B , operating at
right angles to the longitudinal axis of
the vehicle in a horizontal plane and
from the exterior of the vehicle towards
the interior.
The lateral airbag comes between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. The airbag may not be deployed in
an impact or minor accident on the
side of the vehicle.
The airbag is not deployed in a
front or rear impact.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, accom-

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consumption
by advising the driver to change up on
vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when driv-
ing economically.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruction
without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear recommended should not
be considered compulsory. In fact, the
confi guration of the road, the amount
of traffi c and safety remain determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsi-
ble for deciding whether or not to follow
the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of
an arrow in the instrument panel screen.
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, this arrow may be accompanied
by the recommended gear. In the case of driving which makes
particular demands on the perfor-
mance of the engine (fi rm pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the
system will not recommend a gear
change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Four-speed automatic gearbox which
offers a choice between the comfort of
fully automatic operation, enhanced by
sport and snow programmes, or manual
gear changing.
There are therefore four driving modes:
- automatic operation for electronic management of the gears by the
gearbox,
- sport programme for a more dy- namic style of driving,
- snow programme to improve driv- ing when traction is poor,
- sequential operation for manual changing of the gears by the driver.

Moving off
Apply the parking brake.
Select position P or N .
Start the engine.
If this procedure is not followed, there is
an audible signal, accompanied by the
display of an warning message.
With the engine running, press the brake pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Select position R , D or M .
Gradually release the brake pedal.
The vehicle moves off immediately.
If position N is selected inadver-
tently while driving, allow the en-
gine to return to idle then select
position D to accelerate.
If the ambient temperature is below
-23°C, the engine should be left at
idle for four minutes, to ensure the
correct operation and life of the en-
gine and gearbox. The gearbox then operates in auto-
adaptive mode, without any intervention
on the part of the driver. It continuously
selects the most suitable gear accord-
ing to the style of driving, the profi le of
the road and the load in the vehicle.
Automatic operation
Select position

The gearbox automatically favours a
dynamic style of driving.
Never select position N while the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R un-
less the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary.
When the engine is running at idle,
with the brakes released, if posi-
tion
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 without
supervision.
When carrying out maintenance with
the engine running, apply the park-
ing brake and select position P .
Sport and snow programmes
These two special programmes supple-
ment the automatic operation in very
specifi c conditions of use.
Return to automatic operation
At any time, press the button select-
ed again to quit the programme en-
gaged and return to auto-adaptive
mode.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the gear lever, press the accel-
erator 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.
