CHILD SAFETY

  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.
PEUGEOT  recommends  the  use  of

a booster seat which has a back, ﬁ t-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a child or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the

"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, ﬁ t side blinds on the

rear windows.

The  incorrect  installation  of  a  child
seat  in  a  vehicle  compromises  the
child's  protection  in  the  event  of  an
accident.
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 ﬁ rmly

on the seat of your vehicle.
For  optimum  installation  of  the  "for-
wards-facing"  child  seat,  ensure  that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely  to  prevent  it  from  being  thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forwards-facing" position
on  the  front  passenger  seat,  unless
the  rear  seats  are  already  occupied
by  other  children,  cannot  be  used  or
are absent.
Deactivate

the passenger

airbag

when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag

were to inﬂ ate.

129

SAFETY

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

System which automatically and contin-
uously checks the pressure of the tyres
while driving.

All repairs and changing of tyres on

a wheel ﬁ tted with this system must

be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected

by your vehicle (example: ﬁ tting

of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressures
checked regularly (refer to the

"Identiﬁ cation markings" section) to

ensure  that  the  optimum  dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold,  at  least  once  a  month.  Re-
member  to  check  the  pressure  of
the spare wheel.
The  tyre  under-inﬂ ation  detection

system may experience temporary
interference due to electro-magnetic
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.

Sensors ﬁ tted in each valve trigger a

warning in the event of problem (speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h)).

This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears on the multifunction screen,
accompanied by an audible signal,
to locate the wheel concerned.

 Check the tyre pressures as soon

as possible.

This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.

Flat tyre

  The  STOP  warning lamp comes
on  and/or  this  warning  lamp
is  displayed  on  the  instrument
panel,  accompanied  by  an  au-
dible signal and a message on
the  multifunction  screen  locat-
ing the wheel concerned.

 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so,

avoiding any sudden movement of
the steering wheel and the brakes.

 Repair or change the damaged

wheel (punctured or very deﬂ ated

tyre), and have the tyre pressure
checked as soon as possible.

Puncture

The tyre under-inﬂ ation detection

system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty

This warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied

by an audible signal, to locate the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a

sensor are ﬁ tted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a

spare wheel, this is not ﬁ tted with

a sensor.

SAFETY

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS

Group  of  supplementary  systems  which
help  you  to  obtain  optimum  braking  in
complete safety in emergency situations:
   -

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD),

emergency

braking

assistance

(EBA).

Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-
cle when braking, in particular on poor
or slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,

press very ﬁ rmly without releasing

the pressure.

When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a

malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.

If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP and
ABS warning lamps, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a

message on the multifunction screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the electron-
ic  brake  force  distribution  which  could
result  in  loss  of  control  of  the  vehicle
when braking.
  You    must    stop  as  soon  as  it  is  safe
to do so.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.

Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal.

Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking efﬁ ciency.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

When braking in an emergency,

press ﬁ rmly without releasing the

pressure.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE
CALL

This  system  allows  you  to  make  an
emergency  or  assistance  call  to  the
emergency services or to the dedicated
PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this
function,  refer  to  the  "Audio  and  tele-
matics" section.

SAFETY

The  ESP/ASR  systems  offer  ex-
ceptional  safety  in  normal  driving,
but  this  should  not  encourage  the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The  correct  functioning  of  these
systems  depends  on  observation
of  the  manufacturer's  recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
repair  and  assembly  procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

   Disarming
In  exceptional  conditions  (starting  a
vehicle  which  is  bogged  down,  stuck
in  snow,  on  soft  ground,  ...),  it  may  be
advisable  to  disarm  the ASR  and  ESP
systems,  so  that  the  wheels  can  move
freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button, located

in the centre of the dashboard.

  If this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel and the indi-
cator  lamp  on  the  button  comes
on, this indicates that the ASR and
ESP systems are deactivated.

  Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back  on  or  from  30  mph  (50  km/h)
(except in the case of the 1.6 l THP 16V
175 bhp petrol engine).
      Press the  "ESP OFF"  button again

to reactivate them manually.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.

Have the systems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS

Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem.

Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)

This is indicated by ﬂ ashing of

this warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel.

  The anti-skid regulation (also known as
Traction  Control)  optimises  traction  to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory  required  by  the  driver,  within
the limits of the laws of physics.

132

SAFETY

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are ﬁ tted with a pre-

tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front impact. De-
pending  on  the  severity  of  the  impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens  the  seat  belts  against  the  body  of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The  force  limiter  reduces  the  pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.

Fastening

  Unfastening
      Press the red button on the buckle.
     Guide the seat belt as it reels in.

Height adjustment

 Pull the strap, then insert the tongue

in the buckle.

 Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

 To lower the attachment point,

squeeze the control A and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point, slide

the control A upwards.
