Driving safely
  HORN 
  Press the centre of the steering wheel.  
 
 
Anti-lock braking system and 
electronic brake force distribution 
  Linked systems which improve the stability 
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when 
braking, in particular on poor or slippery 
surfaces. 
BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
  Group of supplementary systems which help 
you to obtain optimum braking in complete 
safety in emergency situations: 
   
 
-   anti-lock braking system (ABS), 
   
-   electronic brake force distribution 
(EBFD), 
   
-   emergency braking assistance (EBA).     
Activation 
  The anti-lock braking system comes into 
operation automatically when there is a risk 
of wheel lock. 
  Normal operation of the ABS may make 
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake 
pedal accompanied by some noise.  
   
 
When braking in an emergency, press 
very firmly without releasing the 
pressure.  
   
Operating fault 
  If this warning lamp comes on, 
accompanied by an audible signal 
and a message in the instrument 
panel screen, it indicates a fault with 
the anti-lock braking system which could result in 
loss of control of the vehicle when braking.   If this warning lamp comes on, 
together with the  ABS 
 warning 
lamp, accompanied by a message 
in the instrument panel screen, 
it indicates a fault with the electronic brake 
force distribution which could result in loss 
of control of the vehicle when braking. 
   
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.   
   
Good practice 
  The ABS system does not provide shorter 
braking distances. On very slippery surfaces 
(black ice, oil...) the ABS can extend braking 
distances. For emergency braking, press the 
brake pedal hard and do not release it, even 
on a slipper surface; you will then be able to 
steer the vehicle and avoid an obstacle. 
  When replacing wheels (tyres and 
rims), ensure that they conform to the 
manufacturer's recommendations.  
    In either case, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop. 
  For maximum braking efficiency, a 
bedding-in period of around 300 miles 
(500 kilometres) is needed. During this 
period it is recommended that you avoid 
harsh, repeated or prolonged braking.   

Seat belts
  FRONT SEAT BELTS
 
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners 
and force limiters. 
   
Fastening 
 
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the 
buckle. 
  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap. 
  The lap belt must be positioned as low as 
possible on the pelvis. The chest belt must 
pass over the hollow of the shoulder. 
   
Inertia reel seat belts 
 
These are fitted with a device which locks 
automatically in the event of a collision or 
emergency braking. 
  Safety in the event of a front impact has 
been improved by the introduction of 
pretensioning and force limiting seat belts. 
Depending on the seriousness of the 
impact, the pretensioning system instantly 
tightens the seat belt against the body of the 
occupant. 
  The pretensioning seat belts are active when 
the ignition is on. 
  The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt against the body of the occupant in 
the event of an accident.  
 
 
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning 
lamp 
  When the vehicle is started, this 
warning lamp comes on if the 
driver has not fastened their seat 
belt.  
  REAR SEAT BELTS (COMBI) 
  The 3-seat bench is fitted with three-point 
inertia reel seat belts with force limiter. 
  The centre seat has a seat belt guide and 
inertia reel, integrated with the seat back. 
  When a seat belt is not in use, you can 
store its buckle in the housing provided 
in the bench seat cushion.     
if the driver's seat belt is unfastened, 
the START mode of Stop & Start will 
not be invoked. The engine can only be 
restarted using the ignition key.

SAFETY
   
 
Seat belts  
 
 
 
Good practice 
 
The driver must ensure that all passengers 
fasten their seat belts correctly. 
  Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys. 
  The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
which automatically adjusts the length of the 
strap to your size. The seat belt is reeled in 
automatically when not in use. 
  Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in 
correctly after use. 
  After folding or moving a seat, ensure that 
the seat belt has reeled in correctly into its 
compartment and that the buckle is ready to 
accommodate the tongue. The force limiter reduces the pressure of the 
seat belt against the body of the occupants. 
The equipment fitted to these seat belts is 
operational when the ignition is switched on. 
  The inertia reels are fitted with a device 
which automatically locks the strap in the 
event of a collision or emergency braking or 
if the vehicle rolls over. 
  The airbag warning lamp comes 
on if the pretensioners are 
deployed. Contact a PEUGEOT 
or a qualified workshop. 
  Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of any impact, the pretensioning device may 
be deployed before and independently of 
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens 
the seat belts against the body of the 
occupants. 
  The deployment of the pretensioners is 
accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.   In order to be effective, a seat belt must: 
   
 
-   restrain one person only, 
   
-   must not be twisted, check by pulling in 
front of you with an even movement, 
   
-   be tightened as close to the body as 
possible.  
  The upper part of the seat belt should be 
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder. 
  The lap part should be placed as low as 
possible on the pelvis. 
  Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they 
will not fulfil their role completely. If the 
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of 
the seat belt should always pass under the 
armrest. 
  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap firmly.    
Recommendations for children: 
   
 
-   use a suitable child seat if the passenger 
is less than 12 years old or less than one 
and a half metres tall, 
   
-   never allow a child to travel on your lap, 
even with the seat belt fastened.  
  For further information regarding child 
seats, refer to the "Children on board" 
section of chapter 5. 
  In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all work on your vehicle, 
refer to a qualified workshop that has the 
skills an equipment needed, all of which can 
be provided by a PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Have the seat belts checked regularly (even 
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop: they must not show 
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they 
must not be transformed or modified. 
   
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, 
available from PEUGEOT dealers.

Child safety  
 
 
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
   
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 
booster seat which has a back, fitted 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".    Children under the age of 10 must not travel 
in the "forward facing" position on the front 
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are 
already occupied by other children, cannot 
be used or are absent. 
  Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a 
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the 
front seat. 
  Otherwise, the child would risk being 
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were 
to inflate.    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  keeping the slack 
 in 
relation to the child's body  to a minimum 
, 
even for short journeys. 
  For optimum installation of the "forward 
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of 
the child seat is in contact 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 removed, 
ensure that it is stored or attached securely 
to prevent it from being thrown around the 
vehicle in the event of sharp braking. 
  To protect young children from the sun, 
fit side blinds on the rear windows.

QUICK HELP
   
 
Battery  
 
   
Batteries contain harmful substances 
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They 
must be disposed of in accordance with the 
law and must not, in any circumstances be 
discarded with household waste. 
  Take used batteries to an authorised waste 
disposal site.  
     
It is advisable to disconnect the battery 
if the vehicle is not to be used for a 
period of more than one month. To do 
this on models with Stop & Start: 
   
 
-   press the release button  E 
 to disconnect 
connector  F 
, 
   
-   disconnect connector  F 
 of check sensor  G 
.  
  Never remove the check sensor  G 
 from the 
metallic point  H 
, except when replacing the 
battery.      
 
 
 
 
The presence of this label, in particular 
with the Stop & Start system, indicates 
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with 
special technology and specification; the 
involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualified workshop is essential when 
replacing or disconnecting the battery. 
  Failure to observe this recommendation may 
cause premature wear of the battery.  
   
After refitting the battery by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop, the Stop & Start system will 
only be active after a continuous period of 
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which 
depends on the climatic conditions and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 
8 hours).     
Before charging 
  The charging operation must be carried out in 
a ventilated area away from naked fl ames or 
any possible sources of sparks to eliminate the 
risks of explosion and fi re. 
  Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it 
must fi rst be thawed to eliminate the risks of 
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before 
charging it have it checked by a specialist who 
will check that the internal components have 
not been damaged and that the container is 
not cracked, which could mean that there is a 
risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.  
   
Before disconnecting 
  Never disconnect a terminal when the 
engine is running. 
  Before disconnecting the battery, you must 
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the 
ignition. 
  Close the windows and doors before 
disconnecting the battery.     
After reconnecting 
  After every reconnection of the battery, 
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute 
before starting to allow the electronic 
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are 
experienced after this, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
  If the battery has been disconnected 
for some time, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the following functions: 
   
 
-   the display parameters (date, time, 
language, distance and temperature 
units), 
   
-   the radio stations, 
   
-   the central locking.  
  Some settings are cleared and must be 
reprogrammed. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.

 is not 
reached within  5 minutes 
: 
   
 
● 
  disconnect the compressor from the 
valve and from the 12 V accessory 
socket, 
   
● 
  move the vehicle forward by 
approximately 10 metres to distribute the 
fi lling fl uid inside the tyre, 
   
● 
  then repeat the infl ation operation.  
 
   
 
-   If a pressure of at least  1.8 bars 
 is not 
reached within  10 minutes 
: 
   
 
● 
  stop the repair procedure; the tyre has 
suffered too much damage and cannot 
be repaired, 
   
● 
  contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.  
 
   
 
-   If the tyre has been inflated to a pressure 
of  3 bars 
, set off again immediately.  
  After driving for approximately 10 minutes, 
stop and check the pressure of the tyre 
again. 
  Re-inflate the tyre to the correct pressure if 
necessary and contact a PEUGEOT dealer

. 
  Turn the empty cartridge anticlockwise and 
lift it. 
  Insert the new cartridge and turn it 
clockwise. 
  Reconnect the pipe  I 
 and connect the pipe  B 
 
in its location.  
   
The repair cartridge contains ethylene-
glycol, a product which is harmful if 
swallowed and which causes irritation to the 
eyes. 
  Keep this product out of reach of children. 
  After use, take the cartridge to a PEUGEOT 
dealer or to an authorised waste disposal 
site.     If the tyre has to be deflated: 
   
 
-   connect the pipe  I 
 to the tyre valve, 
   
-   press the yellow button, located in the
