SEAT BELTS


Height adjustment

Squeeze the control with the return and
slide the assembly on the driver's seat
side and on the individual passenger
seat side.

Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning light
Unfastening

Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started,
this warning light comes on if
the driver has not fastened his
seat belt.


Good practice

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which permit a
clearance with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle
is ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of infl ation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering 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.

Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty,

- 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 4.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
guarantees all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
PEUGEOT dealer: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be transformed or
modifi ed. The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.


The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fi tted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning light comes on
if the pretensioners are triggered.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
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 fulfi l their role completely.
If the seats are fi tted 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 fi rmly.

Front seat belts

The front seats are fi tted with
pretensioners and force limiters.


Rear seat belts
(5 seat version)
The rear seats are fi tted with
three-point inertia reel seat belts.

Airbags

11 8


Curtain airbags

This is a system which protects the
driver and passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat of row 2)
in the event of a serious side impact in
order to limit the risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.

Activation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side airbag in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part 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 curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and the windows.



Side airbags

This is a
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.
Each side airbag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.

Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part 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 side airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.
Impact detection zones


A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
on the display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.



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 triggered.

Airbags



Front airbags

The front airbags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been disarmed, in the event of a
serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can
be disarmed:


- With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch,

- turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.

The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
If the two airbag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger airbag when you install
a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON" position
to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure
the safety of your passenger in the event
of an impact.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.

Towing a trailer

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.


Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk linked with fi tting
a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the
failure of your vehicle’s electronic
system. Please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information before fi tting this
type of equipment.
Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS/ESP

The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance

The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.

Levels



Cooling system

Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature 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.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when traffi c
conditions permit (until the message
disappears and the service warning lamp
goes off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
fi lter, the noise of a relay operating may be
heard under the dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning lamp remains on, consult
a PEUGEOT dealer.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.



Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.


Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting of the
service warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.



Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL

Low fuel level


Filling
The fuel tank must be fi lled with the
engine off
.


- Open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter
turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap.

When fi lling with fuel, a
mechanical system prevents
opening of the left-hand side door.
When the fuel fi ller fl ap is open, ensure
that no one tries to slide this door.
Once the fl ap has been closed, the
sliding side door may jam, push the
door to close it then open it. When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres
of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out
of fuel as this may damage the
antipollution and injection systems. A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fi ll with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel fi ller cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
This vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When fi lling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3 rd cut-off of the
nozzle. This could cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.


- After fi lling the fuel tank, lock the
cap and close the fl ap.
