FRONT AIRBAGS
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of
a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head \
and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of th\
e
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 chest 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.
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.
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 being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

5/
SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags
(a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into,
have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates within the same time
discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
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.
If possible, do not smoke as 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
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

6/
DRIVING
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the
message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
 Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
 if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or
 if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
UNDER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fi xed illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinfl ated,
repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor. The fl ashing and then fi xed illumination of the
under-infl ation warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refi tted.
OPERATING FAULT

140
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 manually: 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 exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator 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 circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on steering mounted
control.
1. Speed limiter mode selection dial.
2. Value decrease button.
3. Value increase button.
4. Speed limiter on / off button.

6/
DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safet\
y
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.
STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL
The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.
1. Cruise control mode selection dial.
2. Speed programming / value decrease button.
3. Speed programming / value increase button.
4. Cruise control off / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times.
The cruise control is
switched on manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:
- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,
- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving mode,
- of position D on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.
