event of an accident or sudden braking.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Deployment
They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags is deployed.
Curtain airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for the
driver and passenger in the event of a serious
side impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to
the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.With the 2-seat front bench seat, the
passenger sitting in the centre is not
protected.
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
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
abdomen and head.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.

T
urn it to the OFF position.
F
R
emove it, keeping the switch in this
position. When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes in the seat
belt warning lamps display. It stays
on while the airbag is deactivated.
With the Multi- Flex
bench seat
or the Crew
cab , deactivate the front
passenger airbag when
transporting long objects. To ensure the safety of your child, the front
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a "rear ward facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off, turn the switch to the ON position
to reactivate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of
an impact.
Malfunction

instrument panel comes on, you
must contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.
NEVER use a rear ward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG
in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
once the child seat has been removed.Children in the front
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a rear ward facing child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
Children in the rear
In the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into
the upright position.
For optimal installation of the forward
facing child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
f
ixed , immediately, when being overtaken,
-
f
lashing , after a delay of about one second,
when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when
the direction indicator is used. This system is designed to improve safety
when driving and is in no circumstances
a substitute for the use of the interior rear
view mirror and door mirrors. It is the
driver's responsibility to constantly check
the traffic, to assess the distances and
relative speeds of other vehicles and to
predict their movements before deciding
whether to change lane.
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle – car, lorry,
bicycle – is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the same
direction and in adjacent lanes,
-
t
he speed of the vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-
y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-
a v

Blind Spot Detection
This driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of his vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger. No alert will be given in the following situations:
-
i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-
w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-
d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,

Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via
the vehicle configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.
Malfunction
The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the system.

regularly.
If necessary, clean the camera with a soft, dry
cloth.
When washing the vehicle using a high-
pressure jet, keep the spray directed at least
30 cm away from the camera.
Surround Rear Vision
With the ignition on, in order to improve
visibility of the passenger side blind spot and
the rear of the vehicle, this system uses two
cameras to display the views of the vehicle’s
close surroundings on the output screen (if it is
a panel van or has a solid partition).
This system has three sub-functions:
-
P
assenger side view : shows the area at
the passenger side of the vehicle.
The orange line 1 represents a distance of 5
m
from the rear bumper. -
M
onitoring rear view: allows a long-
distance view of the area at the rear.
The orange line 1 represents a distance of 5
m
from the rear bumper.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted (or even
damaged) and not work in the following
situations:
-
I
nstallation of a bicycle carrier on the
tailgate or side-hinged door (depending on
ve r s i o n).
-
A
ttachment of a trailer to the towball.
-
D

m and 2 m, respectively.
The blue cur ves 5 appear successively; they
are based on the position of the steering wheel
and represent the turning circle radius of your
vehicle.
The orange dashes 6 represent the opening
radii of the rear doors. - The
visual reversing aid : allows a view of
the area close to the rear of the vehicle. Some items may not be seen by the rear
camera.
Certain vehicles may be difficult to see
(dark colours, headlamps off) when the
brightness of the screen is reduced by the
vehicle’s lighting dimmer.
The image quality may be affected by the
environment, the exterior conditions (rain,
dirt, dust), the driving mode, the lighting
conditions (night, low sun).
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and
with lower contrast.Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are in reality.
During parking manoeuvres and lane
changes, it is important to check the sides
of the vehicle using the mirrors.
The rear parking sensors also provide
information on the vehicle's surroundings.
Activation/Deactivation
The system starts when the ignition is switched
