AIR BAGS* The airbag system has been desi- gned to maximise the safety of theoccupants in the event of seriouscollisions. It works in conjunctionwith the seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle; if the triggering thresholdis reached the airbags inßate instant-ly and come between the occupantsand the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air-
bags deßate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-Þcient to ensure maximum protec-tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS* These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.They are deployed simultaneously(except in cases where the airbag isdisarmed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
-
Remove the ignition key, insert itinto the passenger airbag switch 1
and turn it to the “OFF”position.
- One of these two warning lights* on the instrumentpanel is lit throughout thedisarming process.
In the “OFF” position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in theevent of an impact. As soon as you remove the rearwards-facing child seat from thefront passenger seat, turn the airbagswitch to the ÒONÓ position, to armthe airbag and thus ensure thesafety of your passenger in animpact. * According to speciÞcation.

CHECKING THE LEVELS 1. Air filter
The air filter element must be changed at the recommendedintervals. If you drive in a dustyatmosphere, change it twice asoften. Follow the recommendations given in the maintenance schedule. 2. Brake fluid
The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the reservoir. Inthe event of a signiÞcant drop in theßuid level, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately. Use fluids
approved by the manufacturer,which conform to DOT 3 or DOT 4standards. 3. Battery
At the beginning of winter, have the battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. In summer (30¡C and above) or if the battery is in heavy use, checkthe level of electrolyte; it must coverthe separator plates at all times. If
necessary, top up with distilled
water. 4. Power steering* When the engine is cold, the level must always be above the MINmark, close to the MAX mark. 5. Dipstick Check the oil level on ßat ground, with the engine cold and preferably
before the Þrst journey of the day. Never exceed the maximum level.
Check the level regularly.
6. T
opping up with oil
Y our oil must be changed in accor-
dance with the maintenance sche- dule. The oil must be topped up between oil changes. Regularly check and top-up the oil level. Maximum oil consumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles (1000 km). 7. Coolant Engine cold: the coolant level must be between the min and max marksin the expansion chamber with the
cap removed. To close, turn the capto the second notch*. Cooling circuit Always use the coolant which is approved by the manufacturer
(PROCOR TM108 / GLYSANTING33 or REVKOGEL 2000). If this isnot possible, top up with distilledwater and have the protection level
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. When the engine is hot, the coolant temperature is regulated by the fan.As the fan can operate with theignition key removed, and as thecooling circuit is pressurised,
do
not carry out any work for atleast an hour after switching offthe engine .
Note: the coolant does not need tobe renewed.
8. Front/rear screen and headlamp wash reservoir*
For optimum cleaning quality and
for your safety, it is best to use cleaning products approved byPEUGEOT (capacity 4.5 litreswithout headlamp wash, 5.5 litreswith headlamp wash). * According to speciÞcation
