Limit the causes of 
excess consumption
 
 
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bottom of 
the boot, as close as possible to the rear 
seats. 
  Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof 
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof 
box in preference. 
  Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
   
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres 
and refit your summer tyres.  
 
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance 
 
 
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when 
cold, referring to the label in the door 
aperture, driver's side. 
  Carry out this check in particular: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after a long period out of use.  
  Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres 
on any trailer or caravan.  
   
Have your vehicle serviced regularly 
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe 
the schedule of operations recommended 
by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after the 
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any 
overflow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the first 1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see 
the fuel consumption settle down to a 
consistent average.

Mat fitting / removal 
 
When removing the front mat, push the 
seats as far back as possible and remove 
the fixings. 
  When refitting, position the mat correctly on 
the pins and clip the fixings. Check that the 
mat is secured correctly. 
   
Areas for toll cards / car park tickets
 
The athermic windscreen has two non-
reflective zones located either side of the 
base of the interior mirror. 
  They are intended for affixing toll cards 
and/or car park tickets.  
SEATING AREA FITTINGS 
 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the 
various fittings below enhance your seating 
area. 
   
12 volt socket 
 
This operates with the ignition off, so limit its 
use to avoid discharging the battery. 
  Maximum power: 120 W.  
  To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedals: 
   
 
-   only use mats suited to the fixings 
already present in the vehicle. It is 
imperative that these fixings are used. 
   
-   never fit one mat on top of another.  
 
Grab handle    
Cup holder 
 
Any liquid carried in an open receptacle 
(cup or other) may be spilt, presenting a 
risk. "Take care".

Airbags
   
Good practice
 
Sit in a normal upright position. 
  Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. 
  Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object...). This could hinder the operation of 
the airbags or injure the occupants. 
  After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen or broken into, have the airbag 
systems checked. 
  All work on the airbag system is strictly 
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified 
personnel at a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.    
Lateral airbags 
  Only put recommended covers on the seats. 
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral 
airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
  Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs. This could cause injury to the chest 
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates. 
  Do not sit with the upper part of the body 
any nearer to the door than necessary.  
   
Front airbags 
  Do not drive holding the steering wheel 
by its spokes or resting your hands on the 
centre part of the wheel. 
  Do not allow passengers to place their feet 
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if 
the airbag is deployed. 
  Smoke as little as possible as deployment 
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of 
injury from a cigarette or pipe. 
  Never remove or pierce the steering wheel 
or hit it violently.  
    Even if all of the precautions mentioned are 
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns 
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag 
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact, the 
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few 
milliseconds) then deflates within the same 
time discharging the hot gas via openings 
provided for this purpose.    
 
Curtain airbags 
  Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This 
could cause injury to the head when the 
curtain airbag inflates. 
  Do not remove the grab handles installed 
on the roof, they play a part in securing the 
curtain airbags.

Child safety
  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.    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.  
 
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.    
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, fit side blinds to the rear windows.
