SAFETY

Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is
activated.
If even one of the two airbag warning lamps comes on
continuously, do not install a child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.



Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp fl ashes in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. The passenger's front airbag may no
longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.






LATERAL AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a
violent side impact in order to limit the risks of injury to the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front seat back frame, on the door
side.

Deployment

It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a violent impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B
, operating at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle in a horizontal plane and from the
exterior of the vehicle towards the interior.
The lateral airbag comes between the front occupant of the vehicle and
the corresponding door trim panel.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR *

System which reduces fuel consumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a manual gearbox.


OPERATION

The system intervenes only when driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi guration of the road, the amount of traffi c
and safety remain determining factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.

In the case of driving which makes particular demands on the
performance of the engine (fi rm pressure on the accelerator pedal,
for example, when overtaking...), the system will not recommend
a gear change.
The system never suggests:


- engaging fi rst gear,

- engaging reverse gear,

- engaging a lower gear.


The information appears in the instrument panel screen in the form of
an arrow accompanied by the suggested gear.
Example:


- You are in third gear.

- You press the accelerator pedal moderately.

- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear,
if appropriate.

DRIVING





SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.

control.

CRUISE CONTROL

System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the ESP system for safety reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.

The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times. The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:


- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving
mode,

- of position D
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.

DRIVING

This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.

Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks cone, etc.) detected
initially will no longer be detected at the end of the manoeuvre due
to the presence of blind spots.






PARKING SENSORS

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate, etc.) which comes within the fi eld of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.

REAR PARKING SENSORS

The system is switched on by engaging reverse gear. This is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.


Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on
which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

CHECKS






































CHECKING LEVELS

Check all of these levels regularly and top them up if necessary, unless
otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


OIL LEVEL

The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator on the instrument panel, or
using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition
with the oil level indicator in the instrument panel will only be valid
30 minutes after topping up.

It is normal to top up the oil level between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil level and top up if necessary
every 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).


Engine oil change

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the interval
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control
system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited.


BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid

Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance Record for details of the interval
for this operation.


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT4 standard.



POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the engine cold, to check the level.
When working under the bonnet, take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns).


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
