Safety
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head. Each cur tain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compar tment area.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be deployed. In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Practical information
pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
 Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I" until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing).
 Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe. Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.  Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug the puncture.  Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit. Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the braking warning lamp and the P warning lamp in the parking brake control lever come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
 Remove the bolt cover from each of the bolts using the tool 3 (according to equipment).  Fit the security socket 4 on the wheelbrace 1to slacken the security bolt (if fitted).  Slacken the other bolts using the wheelbrace 1 only.
* position R for the electronic gear control gearbox; P for the automatic gearbox.

Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
Towing your vehicle Towing another vehicle Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it:  open the boot,  position the floor ver tically,  remove the towing eye.
 On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
When towing with all four wheels on the ground, always use a towing bar. When towing with only two wheels on the ground, always use professional lifting equipment. When towing with the engine off, there is no longer any braking or steering assistance.
 Place the gear lever in neutral (position N on the electronic gear control gearbox or automatic gearbox). Failure to obser ve this special condition could result in damage to cer tain braking components and the absence of braking assistance the next time the engine is star ted.

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 approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
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.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
