- with a manual gearbox, with the vehicle
stationary, put the gear lever into neutral,
then release the clutch pedal,
-

with an electronic gearbox
, with the
vehicle stationary, hold the brake pedal
down. Special cases: STOP mode unavailable
t

he S t
OP
mode is not invoked when:
-
the driver's door is open,
-

the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

reverse gear is engaged,
-

some special conditions (battery

charge, engine temperature, particle
filter regeneration, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by the "S" warning
lamp, which flashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.

HORN
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

anti-lock braking system (ABS),
-


electronic brake force distribution

(
e BFD),
-

emergency braking assistance (
e BA).Activation
t

he anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency
, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a fault
with the anti-lock braking system which
could result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the ABS warning
lamp, accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen,
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake
force distribution which could result in loss
of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Good practice
t
he ABS system does not provide shorter
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking
distances. For emergency braking, press the
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. In either case, contact a P euge O t
dealer

or a qualified workshop.
For maximum braking efficiency, a
bedding-in period of around 300 miles
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this
period it is recommended that you avoid
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.

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.
t

he seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
t

he seat belt is reeled in
automatically when not in use.
e

nsure 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.
t
he force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants. t he equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on.
t

he 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.
t

he airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a P
euge O t

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.
t

he 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.
t

he upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
t

he lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not interchange 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 more information on child seats,
refer to the "Safety - Children on
board" section.
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 P
euge O t
dealer
.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a P
euge O t
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 P
euge O t
dealers.

GENERAL POINTS ON 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 inflate instantly and contribute
towards best protecting the occupants of
the vehicle. Immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate 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.
t

he 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.
t

his equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
t
he 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.
t
his smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
t
he noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.t he passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated if a child seat is installed in the
rearward facing position.
Refer to the "Safety - Children on
board" section.
