Driving safely  
 
   
Reactivation 
  The ASR system is reactivated automatically 
every time the ignition is switched back on. 
   
 
 
  Press the  "ASR OFF" 
 button again to 
reactivate it manually.  
 
   
Operating fault 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by a message in 
the instrument panel screen, this 
indicates a fault with the ASR 
system, which is deactivated automatically. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.     
Good practice 
  The ASR system offers exceptional safety 
in normal driving, but this should not 
encourage the driver to take extra risks or 
drive at high speed. 
  The correct functioning of this system 
depends on observation of the 
manufacturer's recommendations regarding 
the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking 
components, the electronic components and 
assembly and repair procedures. 
  After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

Seat belts  
 
 
FRONT SEAT BELTS 
 
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners 
and force limiters. 
   
Fastening 
 
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the 
buckle. 
  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap. 
  The lap belt must be positioned as low as 
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must 
pass over the hollow of the shoulder. 
   
Inertia reel seat belts 
 
These are fitted with a device which locks 
automatically in the event of a collision or 
emergency braking. 
  Safety in the event of a front impact has 
been improved by the introduction of 
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts. 
Depending on the seriousness of the 
impact, the pretensioning system instantly 
tightens the seat belt against the body of the 
occupant. 
  The pretensioning seat belts are active when 
the ignition is on. 
  The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt against the body of the occupant in 
the event of an accident.  
 
 
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning 
lamp 
  When the vehicle is started, this 
warning lamp comes on if the 
driver has not fastened their seat 
belt.  
 
REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI) 
 
The 3-seat bench is fitted with three-point 
inertia reel seat belts with force limiter. 
  The centre seat has a seat belt guide and 
inertia reel, integrated with the seat back. 
  When a seat belt is not in use, you can 
store its buckle in the housing provided 
in the bench seat cushion.     
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened, 
the START mode of Stop & Start will 
not be invoked. The engine can only be 
restarted using the ignition key.

Seat belts  
 
 
 
Good practice 
 
The driver must ensure that all passengers 
fasten their seat belts correctly. 
  Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys. 
  The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
which automatically adjusts the length of the 
strap to your size. The seat belt is reeled in 
automatically when not in use. 
  Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in 
correctly after use. 
  After folding or moving a seat, ensure that 
the seat belt has reeled in correctly into its 
compartment and that the buckle is ready to 
accommodate the tongue. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt against the body of the occupants. 
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is 
operational when the ignition is switched on. 
  The inertia reels are fitted with a device 
which automatically locks the strap in the 
event of a collision or emergency braking or 
if the vehicle rolls over. 
  The airbag warning lamp comes 
on if the pretensioners are 
deployed. Contact a PEUGEOT 
or a qualified workshop. 
  Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of any impact, the pretensioning device may 
be deployed before and independently of 
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens 
the seat belts against the body of the 
occupants. 
  The deployment of the pretensioners is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.   In order to be effective, a seat belt must: 
   
 
-   restrain one person only, 
   
-   must not be twisted, check by pulling in 
front of you with an even movement, 
   
-   be tightened as close to the body as 
possible.  
  The upper part of the seat belt should be 
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder. 
  The lap part should be placed as low as 
possible on the pelvis. 
  Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they 
will not fulfil their role completely. If the 
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of 
the seat belt should always pass under the 
armrest. 
  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap firmly.    
Recommendations for children: 
   
 
-   use a suitable child seat if the passenger 
is less than 12 years old or less than one 
and a half metres tall, 
   
-   never allow a child to travel on your lap, 
even with the seat belt fastened.  
  For further information regarding child 
seats, refer to the "Children on board" 
section of chapter 5. 
  In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all work on your vehicle, 
refer to a qualified workshop that has the 
skills an equipment needed, all of which can 
be provided by a PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Have the seat belts checked regularly (even 
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop: they must not show 
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they 
must not be transformed or modified. 
   
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, 
available from PEUGEOT dealers.

SAFETY
 
 
 
Airbags  
 
 
AIRBAGS 
 
The airbags have been designed to 
maximise 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, 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 infl ate instantly and contribute 
towards best protecting the occupants of 
the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, 
the airbags defl ate rapidly, so that they do 
not hinder the visibility of the occupants 
nor their possible exit from the vehicle.    
-   in the event of a minor or rear impact 
and in certain roll-over conditions, the 
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt 
alone contributes towards providing your 
protection in these situations.  
  The seriousness of the collision depends on 
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of 
the vehicle at the moment of impact.    
Airbags only operate when the 
ignition is switched on.  
  This equipment only operates once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same or 
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not 
operate. 
  The deployment of an airbag or airbags is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of smoke 
and some noise, due to the activation of the 
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the 
system. 
  This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive 
individuals may experience some irritation. 
  The noise of the detonation may result in a 
slight loss of hearing for a short time. 
  It is imperative that the passenger 
airbag is deactivated if a child seat is 
installed facing rearwards. Refer to "Children 
on board" in section 5.

QUICK HELP 
 
 
 
Battery  
 
   
Batteries contain harmful substances 
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They 
must be disposed of in accordance with the 
law and must not, in any circumstances be 
discarded with household waste. 
  Take used batteries to an authorised waste 
disposal site.  
     
It is advisable to disconnect the battery 
if the vehicle is not to be used for a 
period of more than one month. To do 
this on models with Stop & Start: 
   
 
-   press the release button  E 
 to disconnect 
connector  F 
, 
   
-   disconnect connector  F 
 of check sensor  G 
.  
  Never remove the check sensor  G 
 from the 
negative battery terminal  H 
, except when 
replacing the battery.      
 
 
 
 
 
The presence of this label, in particular 
with the Stop & Start system, indicates 
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specification; the 
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop is essential when 
replacing or disconnecting the battery. 
  Failure to observe this recommendation may 
cause premature wear of the battery.  
   
After refitting the battery by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop, the Stop & Start system will 
only be active after a continuous period of 
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which 
depends on the climatic conditions and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 
8 hours).     
Before charging 
  The charging operation must be carried out in 
a ventilated area away from naked fl ames or 
any possible sources of sparks to eliminate the 
risks of explosion and fi re. 
  Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it 
must fi rst be thawed to eliminate the risks of 
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before 
charging it have it checked by a specialist who 
will check that the internal components have 
not been damaged and that the container is 
not cracked, which could mean that there is a 
risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.  
   
Before disconnecting 
  Never disconnect a terminal when the 
engine is running. 
  Before disconnecting the battery, you must 
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the 
ignition. 
  Close the windows and doors before 
disconnecting the battery.     
After reconnecting 
  After every reconnection of the battery, 
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute 
before starting to allow the electronic 
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are 
experienced after this, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  If the battery has been disconnected 
for some time, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the following functions: 
   
 
-   the display screen settings (date, time, 
language, distance and temperature 
units), 
   
-   the radio stations, 
   
-   the central locking.  
  Some settings are cleared and must be 
reprogrammed. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
