The exterior mirror on the driver's side is convex (outer edge defined by a dotted line) in order to eliminate the 'blind spot'. As a result, objects observed in the driver's and passenger's mirrors
are in reality closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to correctly judge the distance of vehiclesapproaching from behind.

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 air bag isdisarmed. Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buzzer and themessage "Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.
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 withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passen-ger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front pas-senger seat.
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light onthe instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.
* According to destination.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as the child seat is remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bagand thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu- mination of this warning light accom-panied by an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air bag
disarmed" on the multi-function dis-
play, indicates that the passenger airbag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisionswhich could cause injury to thechest, the abdomen or the head.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on theinstrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds, or
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKING LEVELS Engine Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes (the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litreper 1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the enginecold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the manufacturer's requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level must always be above
the DANGER mark on the tank.
Ð In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the
intervals given in the maoufactu- rer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standard.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can ope-rate with the ignition key removedand because the cooling circuit ispressurised, wait at least an hour
after switching off the engine beforecarrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressuredrop. When the pressure has drop-ped, remove the cap and top up thelevel.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
Ð Instrument panel gauge.
