SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control on the upper
anchorage and slide the assembly
on the driver's seat side and on the
individual passenger's seat side.
The height of the seat belt for the
centre seat of the front bench cannot
be adjusted.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning lamp
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted 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 allow the
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in 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 deployed
before and independently of inflation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Deployment 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.
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.
Unfastening
Press the red button.When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if the driver has not fastened
their 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.

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.
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.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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed facing rearward.

Front airbags
The front airbags are fitted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger(s).
Deployment
They are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, 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 inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:
-
with the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger's
front airbag deactivation switch,
-
turn it to the
"OFF" position,
-
then remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the instrument
panel remains on while the
airbag is deactivated.If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rearward facing child seat and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rearward facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or
seriously injured if the airbag were
deployed. Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the passenger's front airbag switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and thus ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have
the system checked.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid 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 fluid 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 filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, 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, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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 fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
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 filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).
