MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be
engaged when the vehicle is sta
tionary with the engine idling.
* According to engine. AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions. They work in conjunction with
the forcelimiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle and the speed of the vehicle at
the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags 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 passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage "Air bag fault" on the
multi–function display, con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout the
disarming process. In the
"OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is
removed, turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" position to reactivate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi
function display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indi
cator light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the multi–func
tion display.
If this indicator light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and the message "Air bag fault" on
the multi–function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys
tem checked.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION139
CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level 
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes (maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Checking is carried out with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the check
module or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabil
ity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
NOTE: Prevent used oil from coming
into prolonged contact with the skin. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake and clutch fluid level:
The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Coolant level
Use fluid recommended by the man
ufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work. Unscrew the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
The coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir  Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be above
the MINI mark and close to the
MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 4.5 litres or
6.5 litres with headlamp wash).
Measure the fluid level using the dip
stick incorporated in the reservoir
cap.
Close the air hole on the cap and
remove it, then check the level.
