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
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the slot
in this position.
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 removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompa-
nied by a message on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position). The
warning light on the instrument panel
remains on until the passenger air
bag is reactivated.
In the event of permanent
lighting of the two air bag
warning lights, do not install
a rear-facing child seat.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Steering column air bag
The steering column air bag protects
the driver’s knees in the event of a
serious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.
SIDE AIR BAGS AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
The curtain air bag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Disarming check Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.

If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is en-
gaged, the service warning
light comes on, accompa-
nied by an audible signal
(short bleep) and a message
on the multifunction display.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.
Deactivation
With the engine running, press but-
ton A to deactivate the system per-
manently. The indicator light on the
button comes on.
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT ). Reactivation
Press button
A again to reactivate
the system. The indicator light on the
button is switched off.

CHECKS
Handbrake Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule. Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to the
wear of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regular-
ly, in accordance with the
servicing schedule.
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quali-
ty and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the
engine compartment is strictly pro-
hibited .
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the servicing book-
let for information on the re-
placement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the ve-
hicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often, if necessary (refer to
the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and produce unpleasant odours.
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle’s engine.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very
low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This
has no effect on the performance of
the vehicle or on the environment.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

From the rear:

 Unclip the side of the cover using
the fl at part of the towing eye,

 Screw in the towing eye until it
locks. When towing with the en-
gine switched off, there is no
braking assistance.
Special features of the
"2 Tronic" gearbox
When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
- gear lever in position
N ,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis-
tance of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.

From the front:

 Unclip the bottom of the cover,
using the fl at part of the towing
eye.

 Screw in the towing eye until it
locks. Lifting
(2 wheels only on the road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmem-
ber.
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the tool case, located in the left
boot trim.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, etc.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse or longitudinal
roof bars, use the accessories recom-
mended by PEUGEOT and follow the
manufacturer’s fi tting instructions.
For further information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Maximum authorised weight on
the roof bars: 60 kg
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations
concerning the transportation of objects
which are longer than the vehicle.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
