Rear seat belts
The rear seats are each fi tted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt with
force limiter.
Fastening
Remove the strap from the guide A
before use.
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly by pulling the strap. Seat belt unfastened warning lamps
display
When the ignition is switched on, with
the engine running or the vehicle mov-
ing at a speed below approximately
12 mph (20 km/h), the corresponding
warning lamps
4 and 5 come on in red
for approximately 30 seconds, if the
seat belt is not fastened.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
of more than approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h), the corresponding warn-
ing lamp 4 or 5 comes on in red, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen, if
a rear passenger has unfastened their
seat belt.
Unfastening
Press the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt as it reels in.
Seat belt unfastened warning
This warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag warn-
ing lamps display, when one or more
rear passengers unfasten their seat
belt.
In the "cabriolet" confi guration, if
the rear seats are not occupied,
slide the straps in the guides A to
prevent fl uttering of the rear seat
belts (leather seats only). From approximately 12 mph
(20 km/h), this warning lamp

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection
zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and contribute towards pro-
tecting the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone con-
tributes towards providing your pro-
tection in these situations. The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the pas-
senger's front airbag it it has been deacti-
vated, in the event of a serious front impact
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's
side, and the dashboard, passenger's side
to cushion their forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during
the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate. System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

SAFETY
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on
or fl ash, accompanied by an
audible warning and a mes-
sage in the screen, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, with
the ignition off, turn the control switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your
front passenger in the event of an im-
pact.
On switching the ignition on,
this warning lamp comes on in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps dis-
play for approximately one minute, so
as to signal the activation of the pas-
senger's front airbag. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install 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.
On switching on the ignition this
warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display. It
stays on until the airbag is re-
activated.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated.
With the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch.
Turn it to the "OFF" position.
Then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved to the
latest ISOFIX regulations .
The seats represented below are fi tted
with these regulation ISOFIX mountings:
These are two rings A for each seat, lo-
cated between the seat back and seat
cushion of the vehicle's seat, indicated
by a label.

seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of a collision. Observe in full the fi tting instruc-
tions in the installation handbook
provided with the child seat.
For installing ISOFIX child seats
in your vehicle, refer to the table
showing the locations for fi tting
ISOFIX child seats.
These rings are located behind covers.

DRIVING
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.
Manual operation
Select position M for sequential
changing of the six gears.
Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.
Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
M and the gears engaged
manually appear in succes-
sion in 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.
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.
To reduce fuel consumption during
a long period stationary with the
engine running (traffi c jam, etc.),
place the gear lever in position N
and apply the parking brake.
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, there is
an audible signal is heard accom-
panied by a message.
Return the lever to position P ;
the audible signal stops and the
message disappears. When the ignition is on, the il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a gearbox malfunction.
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.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c (red
lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode -
as soon as you want to move off. The
restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption, ex-
haust emissions and the noise level
when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode The "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral, and
you release the clutch pedal.
If your vehicle is fi tted with
it, a time counter calculates
the sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a jour-
ney. It rests itself to zero ev-
ery time the ignition is switched on with
the key. For your comfort when parking,
STOP mode is not available for a
few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such
as braking, power steering, for ex-
ample.
Never refuel with the engine in
STOP mode; you must switch off
the ignition with the key. Special cases: STOP mode
unavailable
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine start
using the key,
- the engine is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in the pas-
senger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
to assure control of a system.
The "ECO" warning lamp fl ash-
es for a few seconds, then goes
off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
In STOP mode of Stop & Start, the
"AIRWAVE" system stops working.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction with the
system, the "ECO OFF" switch warning
lamp fl ashes, then comes on continu-
ously.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then neces-
sary to switch off the ignition and start
the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury result-
ing from automatic operation of
START mode.
This system requires a battery with a
special specifi cation and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes
use of advanced technology. All
work on this battery must be done
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by
the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any cir-
cumstances, replace the need to re-
spect speed limits, nor can it replace
the need for vigilance and responsi-
bility on the part of the driver.
