SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on , if a
front passenger has not fastened their
seat belt and if the vehicle speed is below
12 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned by
lighting of the seat belt warning lamp .
The warning lamp switches off when the
seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above 12 mph
(20 km/h) , y o u a r e w a r n e d b y fl a s h -
ing of the seat belt warning lamp ,
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen identifying the
unfastened seat belt(s).
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter
In the event of a serious front impact,
the pre-tensioning system instantly
t i g h t e n s t h e s e a t b e l t s fi r m l y a g a i n s t
the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection.
Rear seat belts
T h e r e a r s e a t s a r e a l l fi t t e d w i t h a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
l i m i t e r a n d m a y b e fi t t e d w i t h a p r e -
tensioning inertia reel.
To fasten the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts
Press the red button on the buckle. Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt tongue
into the buckle. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.
Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may cause illumination of
the warning lamp.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning lamp switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action
o n t h e s e a t b e l t s , t h e fl a s h i n g w a r n i n g
lamp remains on permanently and the
audible signal ceases. All of the warn-
ings cease when a door is opened or
when the engine is switched off.
Front seat belt height adjustment:
To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.
To raise the attachment point, slide
control 1 upwards.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, BOAT, CARAVAN, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harness-
es which have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
v e h i c l e a n d t h a t y o u e n t r u s t t h e fi t t i n g
of the towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.

ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a n
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power and
increases towing capacity.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver's side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Automatic adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system automatical-
ly corrects the height of the beam of
xenon bulbs in relation to the vehicle
load after approximately 2 minutes.
The driver is then assured of having
optimum lighting.
