SAFETY
70
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keep-
ing the slack in relation to the
child's body to a minimum , even
for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact with the back of the vehicle's
seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forward facing"
position on the front passenger
seat, unless the rear seats are al-
ready occupied by other children,
cannot be used or are absent. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , fi t t e d
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
rear windows.
CHILD LOCK
On each rear door, this prevents open-
ing of the door from the inside.
Turn control 1 an eighth turn (45 degrees)
towards the inside of the vehicle using the
ignition key.
Check that the safety lock is engaged
correctly. The control 1 should no longer
be in the vertical position.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. T h i s fl u i d m u s t a l w a y s b e a t t h e

Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil used must meet the
manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level
Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers intended
for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network (France) or take it to an au-
thorised waste disposal site.

When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.

Also, as the cooling system operates
under pressure, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before do-
ing anything. For best quality cleaning and to

not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
