AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions;they work in conjunction with theforce limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis 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 pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat.  With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF"position, then
remove the key keeping the slotin this position. The air bag warning light on the instrument panel is lit throughoutthe 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 re-activate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in the event of animpact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible sig-nal and a message on the multi-func-
tion display.
With the ignition on (2ndnotch), illumination of thiswarning light accompaniedby an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multi-function
display, indicates that the passengerair bag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS The side air bags are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back,on the door side. The curtain air bags are incorporated into the door pillars and the upperpart of the passenger compartment. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by a light on the instrument panel, accompanied byan audible signal and a message on
the multiÐfunction display.
If this indicator light comes on, accompanied by anaudible signal and the mes-sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles(1000 km). Carry out this check with the vehicle level, engine cold, usingthe oil level gauge on the instru-ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two markson the dipstick: A= maximum
Never fill past this mark. B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi- lity of engines andemission control sys-tems, the use of addi-tives in engine oil isprohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
'PEUGEOT SERVICING'.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
146
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake and clutch fluid level:
Ð The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
Ð If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change:
Ð must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
Ð use fluids approved by the manu- facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan- dards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into prolonged contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil, brake and clutch fluid or coolant into drains oronto the ground. Power steering reservoir
 Open the reservoir, with the engi-
ne cold. The level should alwaysbe above the MINI mark and closeto the MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(reservoir capacity 4 litres or 6.5litres with headlamp wash).

148TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION Sensors check the tyre pressure during driving, and trigger a warningin the event of malfunction (speedgreater than 15mph [25 km/h]). Flat tyre When this warning light comes on, accompanied byan audible signal and themessage 'Tyre pressure
low' on the multi-function
display, have the tyre pressurechecked as soon as possible. Puncture
This warning light, accom- panied by an audible signaland the message 'Punc-
tured tyre(s) detected' on
the multi-function display, is
followed by illumination of the
'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-den movement of the steering wheeland the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured orvery deflated) tyre, and have the tyrepresure checked as soon as possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tem-
porarily stored in the boot, it willagain emit this message to remindyou of the necessity of having it
repaired. This will prevent anotherwarning of the same type being dis-played. Sensor(s) not detected
This warning light, accom-panied by an audible signaland the message ' X tyre
pressure sensor(s) miss-ing ' on the multi-function
display, indicates that under-inflationdetection is absent from one (or sev-eral) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace the faulty sensor(s). Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or whena wheel without a sensor is fitted.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fittedwith this system must becarried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detec-tion system is an aid to drivingwhich does not replace theneed for the driver to be vigilant
or to drive responsibly. This system does not remove the necessity for having the tyre pres-sure (including that of the spare
wheel) checked regularly, toensure optimum dynamic perfor-mance of the vehicle and to pre-vent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in the case of arduousdriving conditions (heavy load,high speed). The system may temporarily be disturbed by radio broadcasts ona frequency close to it.

In the engine compartment, remove the style cover secured by one or two butterfly screws, a plastic retainer clip andtwo screws. Note:
handle the bulbs with a dry cloth.
1 - Dipped beam headlamps: H7-55W or Xenon bulb.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION Xenon bulbs must be replaced by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
2 - Main beam headlamps: H1-55W.
 Turn the protective cover of the faulty bulb a quarterof a turn and remove it.
 Disconnect the connector.
 Press the end of the securing clip to free it. Changethe bulb.
 When fitting the new bulb, ensure that the directionnotches are positioned correctly and the securing
clip is fixed properly. 
Reconnect the connector.
 Refit the protective cover.
The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with aprotective coating. Do not clean them with a dry or abra-
sive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars which have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest loads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.As the fan is electronically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum load up a steep slope in high tem-peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows theengine power to be recovered, andtherefore the towing speed to be sig-nificantly increased (approximately12mph [20 km/h] more). If the coolant temperature warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon aspossible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sure. Brakes: towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Drive at a moderate speed, change down early and brake
gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed. Lighting Manual adjustmentAdjust your headlamps so as not to dazzle other road users (see sectionon ''Manual adjustment of head-lamps''). Check the electrical sig-
nalling of the trailer. Automatic beam correction For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this system automatically corrects theheight of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is thenassured of having optimum lightingand not causing a nuisance to otherroad users. In cases of malfunction, the driver is alerted by means of the warning lighton the instrument panel. In this situation the system adjusts your headlamps to the low position.
