Access
2Alarm
(Depending on version)



System which protects and provides a deterrent
against theft and break-ins.
Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a
door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring
The system checks for any variation in volume in
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a
window, enters the passenger compartment or
moves inside the vehicle.
Anti-tilt monitoring
The system checks for any change in the attitude
of the vehicle.
The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or
moved.
When the vehicle is parked, the alarm
will not be triggered if the vehicle is
knocked.
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Depending on version, interior volumetric
and anti-tilt monitoring may be reduced or
even suspended during temperature pre-
conditioning sequences.
Self-protection function
The system checks whether any of its
components are out of service.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central
control or the siren wiring is put out of service or
damaged.
Work on the alarm system
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Locking the vehicle with full

second and the direction indicators come on for
about 2 seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated
after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric
monitoring after 45 seconds.
The alarm does not activate when locking automatically from a distance.
Door, boot or bonnet
If an opening is not properly closed,
the vehicle is not locked, but the exterior
perimeter monitoring will be activated after
45 seconds, at the same time as the interior

Safety
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 fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved seat covers
compatible with the deployment of these
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (e.g.
clothing) as this could cause
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof.
Active bonnet

The active bonnet has been designed to
optimise the safety of pedestrians in the event of
collision with the front of the vehicle.
The pyrotechnic system is triggered at the
hinges of the bonnet to lift it, when the sensors
located at the front of the vehicle detect a
collision.
Deployment of the active bonnet is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, do not try to open or close
the bonnet. Call a towing company or go to
the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop, driving at a speed below 19 mph
(30
km/h).
Make sure that you adjust the height of the
driver's seat - risk of hindrance to visibility!
This equipment will only trigger once. If a second impact occurs (during the same
or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet
will not trigger.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the system checked.
Do not tamper with the pyrotechnic systems
under the bonnet, close to the struts - risk of
explosion!
All work must be carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal. You must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
The active bonnet may not deploy in the event of
an impact. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Practical information
To recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12
V battery,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.

reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Bonnet
For more information on the Active bonnet,
refer to the corresponding section.
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of the engine restarting automatically.
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan
or in certain moving components - risk of
strangulation and serious injury!
Rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Before any work is carried out under the
bonnet, it is essential to switch off the ignition
and disconnect the charging connector nozzle
if it is connected, check that the READY
indicator lamp is off on the instrument panel
and wait 4 minutes - risk of serious injury!
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents the bonnet being
opened when the left-hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
