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
i n l a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t
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. If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
D i s a r m i n g ( c h e c k )
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
T h e c u r t a i n a i r b a g i n l a t e s b e t w e e n
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.

insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the
switch 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 switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. A i r b a g s m a l f u n c t i o n

pre-tensioner and force
limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.

CHECKS
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
q u a l i t y a n d s p e c i i c a t i o n s .
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
o f f e r s q u i t e s p e c i i c p r o d u c t s .
To prevent damage to the electri-
cal units, avoid washing the en-
gine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- i l l t h e f u e l t a n k w i t h a t l e a s t i v e litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel
appears in the transparent pipe
under the bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.

For any information relating to check-
ing the disc wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Never use the radiator
crossmember.
Special features of the automatic
gearbox
When towing with all four wheels on
the ground, the following rules must
be adhered to:
- gear lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at a speed less t h a n 3 0 m p h ( 5 0 k m / h ) o v e r a
distance of not more than
3 0 m i l e s ( 5 0 k m ) ,
- do not add oil to the gearbox. Rear towing eye
From the front or the rear
Attach the tow bar to the towing eye.
By lifting (two wheels only on the
ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle by
the wheels.
Without lifting (four wheels on the
ground)
You must always use a tow bar.
VEHICLES FITTED WITH A
MANUAL GEARBOX
(diesel version)
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s i t t e d w i t h a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the "neutral" position. Failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to certain brak-
ing components and the absence of
braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.

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
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e i t t i n g o f t h e

dealer.

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-
i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i i c a n t s t r e s s
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.

altitude. 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.
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-
o u s u s e ( t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m l o a d
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.

The GTW and towing load values indicated are valid for a maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towing load men-
tioned must be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1000 metre s.
In the case of a towing vehicle, the speed must not exceed 6 0 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your
country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perfo rmance of the vehicle to protect the engine; when the
exterior temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed l oad.
* The weight of the braked trailer may be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing
vehicle is reduced by the same amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse
effect on its road holding ability.
