Driving safely  
 
(ABS - EBFD) 
 
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake 
force distribution) systems improve the 
stability and manoeuvrability of your 
vehicle on braking, in particular on 
poor or slippery surfaces. 
  The ABS prevents locking of the 
wheels, the EBFD provides control of 
the braking pressure wheel by wheel.   If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, it indicates a 
malfunction of the ABS which 
could result in a loss of control of the 
vehicle on braking. 
  If this warning lamp comes 
on, together with the brake 
and STOP warning lamps, 
accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message in the 
screen, it indicates a malfunction of 
the electronic brake force distribution 
which could result in a loss of control of 
the vehicle on braking. 
  EMERGENCY BRAKING 
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM 
(EBA)
  In an emergency, this system enables 
the optimum braking pressure to be 
reached more quickly, press the pedal 
fi rmly without releasing it. 
  It is triggered by the speed at which the 
brake pedal is activated. 
  This alters the resistance of the brake 
pedal under your foot. 
  To prolong the operation of the 
emergency braking assistance system: 
keep your foot on the brake pedal. 
   
Good practice 
 
The anti-lock braking system comes 
into operation automatically when 
there is a risk of wheel lock. It does not 
reduce the braking distance. 
  On very slippery surfaces (ice, 
oil, etc...) the ABS may increase the 
braking distance. When braking in 
an emergency, do not hesitate to 
press the brake pedal fi rmly, without 
releasing the pressure, even on a 
slippery surface, you will then be able 
to continue to manoeuvre the vehicle 
to avoid an obstacle. 
  Normal operation of the ABS may be 
felt by slight vibration of the brake 
pedal. 
  When changing wheels (tyres 
and rims), ensure that these are 
recommended by PEUGEOT.    
Stop 
  as soon as it is safe to do so 
 
. 
 
  In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.   

   
 
Seat belts  
 
90 
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 lamp comes on 
if the pretensioners are deployed. 
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.    
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 more information on 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 
can guarantee 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 or a qualifi ed 
workshop: they must not show any 
signs of wear, cutting or fraying 
and they must not be converted or 
modifi ed.  
 
Front seat belts 
 
The front seats are fi tted with 
pretensioners and force limiters. 
  The seat belt associated with the centre 
seat of the front bench does not have a 
pretensioner.  
  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.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
 
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. 
  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 infl ate.    
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". 
  Take care not to open the rear windows 
by more than one third. 
  To protect young children from the rays 
of the sun, fi t side blinds to the rear 
windows.  
 
 
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, fi tted 
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

CHECKS
   
Carbon filter and passenger 
compartment filter 
  An access fl ap below the glove box 
permits replacement of the fi lters. 
  The carbon fi lter permits continuous 
and effective fi ltering of dust. 
  If the passenger compartment fi lter 
becomes blocked, this may reduce the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system and generate unpleasant 
odours. 
  We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment fi lter. By 
means of its second special active 
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
   
Particle emission filter (Diesel) 
 
maintenance of the particle emission 
fi lter must be carried out by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  On acceleration after the vehicle has 
been running for a prolonged period 
at very low speed or at idle, you may, 
in exceptional circumstances, notice 
the emission of water vapour at the 
exhaust. This water vapour does not 
have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment.  
 
 
Battery 
 
At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
Brake pads 
 
Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
check the thickness of the pads, even 
between services. 
  Unless there is a leak on the circuit, 
a drop in the brake fl uid level indicates 
that the brake pads are worn.  
 
 
Brake disc / drum wear 
 
For information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
 
 
Parking brake 
 
Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
  Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.  
 
 
Oil filter 
 
Change the fi lter regularly in 
accordance with the servicing 
schedule.     Refer to the servicing booklet for 
the replacement interval for these 
components. 
  Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the 
vehicle (urban driving...), change them 
twice as often if necessary.

  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, with the fuel 
fi ller fl ap open, ensure that no 
one attempts to open the sliding 
side door.     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 emissions 
control and injection systems.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Quality of the fuel used for 
petrol engines 
  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.  
    
The petrol engines are perfectly 
compatible with E10 type petrol 
biofuels (containing 10% ethanol), 
conforming to European standards 
EN 228 and EN 15376. 
  E85 type fuels (containing up to 85% 
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for 
vehicles marketed for the use of this 
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The 
quality of the ethanol must comply with 
European standard EN 15293. 
  For Brazil only, special vehicles are 
marketed to run on fuels containing up 
to 100% ethanol (E100 type).
