Recommendations
for ventilation and air
conditioning
If the interior temperature is very high after
the vehicle has stood for a
long time in the
sunshine, please ventilate the passenger
compartment for a
few moments.
To obtain a
per fectly even distribution
of air, ensure that the external air intake
grille, the air vents, air passages and
the air outlets in the footwells are not
obstructed.
Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter, situated behind the glove box,
inside the air conditioning unit, is in good
condition. Replace the filter elements
periodically. If you drive in a
dusty
environment, have them replaced twice
as often.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5
to 10 minutes, once or twice a month, to
keep it in per fect working order.
To ensure correct operation of your air
conditioning system, we also advise you to
have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer
or a


qualified workshop.

12 V accessory socket
Do not exceed the maximum power rating
of the socket (risk of damage to your
device).
The connection of an electrical device
not approved by PEUGEOT, such as
a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
USB port
To connect portable devices such as an iPod®
type digital audio player or USB memory stick.
It reads the audio files which are sent to your
audio system, to be listened to through the
vehicle's speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted controls or those on the front of the
audio system.
Connected to the USB port during
use, the portable device may recharge
automatically.
For more information on Audio
equipment and telematics and in
particular the use of this equipment, refer
to the corresponding section.
Auxiliary socket (JACK)
To connect a portable device so that you
c an listen to your music files via the vehicle's
speakers.
The management of the files is done using your
portable device.
For more information on Audio
equipment and telematics and in
particular the use of this equipment, refer
to the corresponding section.
The USB port and jack socket also allow
a smartphone to be connected:
-

e
ither as a MirrorLink
TM connection,
using just the USB port,
-

o

r as a

iPhone
® connection, by using
the USB port and the jack socket at the
same time.
These connections allow certain telephone
applications to be used on the touch screen.
F To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 Watts), lift the cover and
connect a
suitable adaptor.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)
The ESC programme incorporates the following
systems:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS) and
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
These systems improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking
and contribute towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking during
emergency braking.
EBFD ensures total management of the braking
pressure, wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It triggers according to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by
a
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Traction control (TRC)
This system optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.

em

ergency braking assistance (EBA),
-
t
raction control (TRC),
- d
ynamic stability control (DSC).
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
f ollowed by the vehicle and that required by the
driver, this system monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBD)
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, it indicates an ABS system
malfunction that could cause control
of the vehicle to be lost during
braking.
Drive carefully at a
moderate speed and
contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Safety

Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a
noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted 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 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 inflates between the thorax
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
for ward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel it indicates
a
malfunction of the airbags. Contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to
have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed
in the event of a
serious impact.
If this is the case, do not install a child seat nor
a llow a passenger to sit in the front passenger seat.
Lateral airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.

Safety

59
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.
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.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a


part in securing the curtain airbags. Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or
arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
General points relating to
child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. -

S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-
A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward-facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
In the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12
or less
than one and a
half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a
seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
