SAFETY
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking in
complete safety in emergency situa-
tions:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD).
When braking in an emergency,
press very fi rmly without releasing
the pressure. The two warning lamps comes
on at the same time and the two
warnings are displayed alter-
nately in the instrument panel
screen.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompa-
nied by the indication on the instrument
panel screen, it indicates a malfunction
of the anti-lock braking system which
could result in a loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. If these two warning lamps come on,
linked with the warnings on the instrument
panel screen, they indicate a malfunction
of the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces. The warning lamp comes on for
a few seconds when the ignition
is switched on (ON position). If it
does not switch off or does not
come on, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When the vehicle is stationary
When the vehicle is moving
If this warning lamp comes on
continuously it indicates a mal-
function of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in a
loss of control of the vehicle on braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system is active if
the vehicle speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h). It is deactivated when the ve-
hicle speed falls below 3 mph (5 km/h).
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.

SAFETY
The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stowed
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can re-
lease the device by pulling fi rmly on
the strap and releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
-
be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment needed,
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly if the
straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners 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 all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

CHECKS
Battery
Check the electrolyte level
regularly. If necessary, top up
the level with distilled water.
Check that the terminals are
clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary (refer
to the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, exception-
ally, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust on accel-
eration. This does not have any
adverse effect on the perfor-
mance of the vehicle or on the
environment.
Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health or indeed very corro-
sive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Empty used oil into the containers pro-
vided for this purpose at PEUGEOT
dealers (France) or a qualifi ed work-
shop, or take them to an authorised
waste disposal site.
Do not discard the oil fi lter through
public channels, deposit it in the
containers dedicated to this use in
the PEUGEOT network (France) or
a qualifi ed workshop or take them to
an authorised waste disposal site.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the servicing booklet and in relation to
your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
