Airbags



For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
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 hamper 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 systems must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight 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 through
openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
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.

Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Refer to the
"Accessories" section.
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.

Driving advice

As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.

TEMPORARY PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT


This kit is located at the front of the
passenger compartment. It consists of:


- a repair cartridge A
, containing the
sealant, equipped with:


●
a fi lling pipe B
,

●
a sticker C
indicating "max. 80 km/h", which
the driver must affi x to the dashboard in a
visible position after repairing the tyre,

- a compressor D
equipped with a pressure
gauge and unions,

- adaptors for the inflation of various items,

- a pair of protective gloves,

- a quick guide to use of the temporary
puncture repair kit.


Repair procedure



- Apply the parking brake and place the
gear lever in neutral.

- Unscrew the valve cap of the tyre to be
repaired.

- Take out the filling pipe B
and screw the
ring E
onto the tyre valve.

- Check that the on/off switch F
on the
compressor is in position "0"
(off).
- Start the engine.

- Insert the connector G
in the nearest
12 V accessory socket in the vehicle.

- Place the compressor’s on/off switch F
in
position "1"
(on).

- Inflate the tyre to a pressure of 3 bars.
To obtain a more accurate reading, you are
advised to check the pressure value on the
pressure gauge H
, with the compressor off. This temporary puncture repair kit is
available from PEUGEOT dealers.
It is provided for the repair of holes of
a maximum diameter of 4 mm, located
exclusively on the tread or side wall of the
tyre. Avoid removing any foreign bodies
which have penetrated into the tyre.

Changing a wheel



- If a pressure of at least 1.5 bars
is not
reached within 5 minutes
:


●
disconnect the compressor from the
valve and from the 12 V accessory
socket,

●
move the vehicle forward by
approximately 10 metres to distribute the
fi lling fl uid inside the tyre,

●
then repeat the infl ation operation.



- If a pressure of at least 1.8 bars
is not
reached within 10 minutes
:


●
stop the repair procedure; the tyre has
suffered too much damage and cannot
be repaired,

●
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.



- If the tyre has been inflated to a pressure
of 3 bars
, set off again immediately.
After driving for approximately 10 minutes,
stop and check the pressure of the tyre
again.
Adjust the tyre pressure if necessary and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that you
have repaired the tyre using the temporary
puncture repair kit and show him its
instructions.


Checking and correcting the pressure

For checking and correcting the pressure of
a tyre, use the compressor as follows:


- disconnect the pipe I
,

- connect it directly to the tyre valve,
The cartridge will then be connected to
the compressor and the sealant will not be
injected.

Replacing the repair cartridge

Disconnect the pipe I
.
Turn the empty cartridge anticlockwise and
lift it.
Insert the new cartridge and turn it
clockwise.
Reconnect the pipe I
and connect the pipe B

to its location.

The repair cartridge contains ethylene-
glycol, a product which is harmful if
swallowed and which causes irritation to the
eyes.
Keep this product out of reach of children.
After use, take the cartridge to a PEUGEOT
dealer or to an authorised waste disposal
site. If the tyre has to be deflated:


- connect the pipe I
to the tyre valve,

- press the yellow button, located in the
centre of the switch F
on the compressor.
