Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle. Pull on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is
moving, apply the brake by pulling
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels
(risk of skidding).
Press this button, the direction
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping in an emergency or when
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a gear after parking the vehicle,
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard

Different modes are available:
Normal (eSC)
e
SC o FF Snow
This mode allows the vehicle
to adapts its strategy to the
conditions of grip encountered
for each of the two
front
wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
off road
(mud, wet grass, ...)
When moving off, this
mode allows considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and
regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible.
Sand
This mode allows a little
wheelspin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move
forward and reduces the risk
of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
This mode is calibrated for a
low level of skidding, based
on different conditions of grip
encountered on the road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
This mode is only suitable
for specific conditions
encountered when moving off
or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h)
the system returns to DSC mode
automatically.

ACtIVe CItY BRAK e
Active City Brake is a driving
assistance system that aims to avoid
a frontal collision or reduce the speed
of an impact if the driver does not
react sufficiently (inadequate brake
application).
This system is designed to
improve driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic and to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicle.
Active City Brake can in no
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
N
ever look at the laser sensor
through an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope...)
at a distance of less than
10
centimetres: risk of eye injury.Principle
using a laser sensor located at the top
of the windscreen, this system detects
a vehicle running in the same direction
or stationary ahead of your vehicle.
When necessary
, the vehicle's braking
system is operated automatically
to avoid a collision with the vehicle
ahead.
Automatic braking occurs later
than if done by the driver, so as
to intervene only when there is a
high risk of collision.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the
following conditions are met:
●
ignition on,
●
the vehicle is in a forward gear
,
●
speed is between about 3 and
18 mph (5 and 30 km/h),
●
the braking assistance systems
(ABS,
e BFD, emergency braking
assistance) are not faulty,
●
the trajectory control systems
(ASR, DSC) are not deactivated or
faulty
,
●
the vehicle is not in a tight corner
,
●
the system has not been triggered
during the previous 10 seconds.

Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fifty
,
-
never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened. For more information on child
seats, refer to the "Child safety"
section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by P
eugeo T
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your P
eugeo T dealer
can guarantee all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
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 converted or
modified.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
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.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing the red button on the buckle.
g
uide the seat belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on
if the pretensioners are deployed.
Contact a P
eugeo
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-
must restrain one person only
,
-
must not be twisted, check by
pullin
g in front of you with an even
movement,
-
must 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 interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
properly. 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.Front seat belts
The front seats are fitted with
pretensioners and force limiters.
Rear seat belts
(5 seat version)
The rear seats are fitted with
three-point inertia reel seat belts.

good practice
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 hinder 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 is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified personnel at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
e
ven 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. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose. Lateral airbagso
nly put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
inflation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible 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.
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 a 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.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed rearward facing.

Front airbags
Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied to all or part of the
front impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane directed from the front towards
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.Deactivating the passengers front

-
Remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag is deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a P
eugeo T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the front passenger seat.
o therwise,
the child would risk being killed or
seriously injured if the airbag were
deployed. Reactivation
In the "
o FF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the " o N" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
P eugeo T dealer or a
qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
The front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger.
