Safety
Activation of the system may cause noise in the transmission. This is perfectly
normal and has no consequence on the
behaviour of the vehicle.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if the
driver releases the accelerator and brake pedals,
the system will release the brakes to set the
vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 22 mph (35
km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, but the
indicator lamp in the instrument panel remains
on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 22 mph (35
km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
Depress the accelerator or brake pedal again to
pause the cruise control.
Off
► Press the button until the indicator lamp on
the instrument panel goes off.
At a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h),
the system is automatically deactivated and the
indicator lamp on
the instrument panel goes off.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the system, this
warning lamp comes on in green,
accompanied by the display of a message in the
instrument panel.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. 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 all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system, depending on version,
and a force limiting system.
Height adjustment
► To adjust the height of the anchorage point,
squeeze control A and slide it to the notch
desired.

Driving
6
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when you release the brake
pedal.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in the event of a malfunction,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and
the vehicle's equipment, the system may
recommend skipping one or more gears.
Gear shift recommendations should not be
considered compulsory. The road layout, traffic
density and safety remain decisive factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the guidance issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
The system is only active on vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox.
The information appears on the instrument panel in the form of an arrow.
The system adapts its gear shift recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the driver’s
inputs (power, acceleration, braking, etc.).
The system never suggests:
–
engaging first gear;
–
engaging reverse gear
.
Tyre under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the pressures
of the four tyres, as soon as the vehicle is
moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of each
tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel), especially before a long
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
–
worsens road-holding.
–
lengthens braking distances.
–
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the Identification
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

► With the extension 3 and the wheelbrace 2,
turn the control screw clockwise to unwind the
winch until the spare wheel is lying flat on the
ground. Unwind the length required to access
the spare wheel easily.
►
Remove the wheel from the rear of the
vehicle.
► Pass the connecting piece through the wheel
hub to release it.
Putting the winch and spare wheel
back in place
When the spare wheel is fitted in place of
a wheel with a punctured tyre, the winch
and punctured tyre must be put back in
position underneath the vehicle before
restarting.
►
Position the wheel flat, with the valve
upwards.
► Pass the connecting piece through the wheel
hub.
►
Centre and position the connecting piece
under the spare wheel, making sure that the
claw
A comes out of one of the wheel tightening
holes.
A padlock can be fitted in the hole of the claw A to lock the chain to the spare
wheel to act as an anti-theft device.
►
T
ighten the winch chain by turning the control
screw with the wheelbrace 2 and the extension 3
anticlockwise.
► Place the wheel under the rear of the vehicle.
► Raise the wheel under the vehicle, by turning
the winch control screw with the wheelbrace 2
and the extension 3 anticlockwise.
►
When the wheel is halfway up, check that the
suspended
chain can enter the hole in the wheel.
►
T
ighten fully.
►
Check that the wheel is properly flattened
against the floor
.
Check that the wheel is not caught on the
external parts.
Check that the wheel is held firmly against
its support by trying to turn and push it. If
the wheel moves, repeat the positioning
procedure.
Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does
not obstruct traffic: the ground must be level,
stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in position P then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that the
indicator lamp lights up on the instrument
panel.
