Child seats
the incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat as this could
destabilise it.
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 the installation of a child seat using a
seat belt, ensure that this is well tensioned
on the child seat and that it is holding the
child seat firmly against the seat of your
vehicle. If your front passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
At the rear seats, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a for ward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest.
Recommendations
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- o ne or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
to p

revent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child lock".
ta

ke care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
to p

rotect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
th
e chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
en
sure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
e
uge
Ot
recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible
th

e head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
en

sure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.Children at the front
the legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed.

Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball and its carrier remain clean. Before cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure jet wash, the towbar harness socket carrier must be folded away, the towball removed and the protective blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
For any work on the towbar, go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Refit the protective cover for the ball and the protective cover for the locking wheel. Stow the towball in its bag. Refit the protective blanking plug to the carrier.
Grasp the towball firmly with one hand; with the other hand, press and turn the locking wheel clockwise as far as it will go. Extract the towball from the bracket.
Be ready for the weight of the towball (around 3.5 kg). Risk of injury!
Stowing the towball
It is recommended that the removable towball be safely stowed, preferably in a storage space below the boot floor. Attach the towball using the bag tie cord.
Never leave the removable towball unsecured in the boot. In the event of sudden braking, a towball left loose in the boot could present a danger to passengers in the vehicle. Furthermore, the towball and the boot risk being damaged.
