 EMISSIONS  CONTROLS 
 EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is 
a diagnostics system which complies with, 
among others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   -   CO  (carbon  monoxide), 
  -   HC  (unburnt  hydrocarbons), 
  -   NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed 
upstream and downstream of the 
catalytic  converters.  
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION  
  System which automatically checks the 
pressures of the tyres while driving. 
  The tyre under-inflation detection 
system is an aid to driving which does 
not replace the need for the driver to be 
vigilant or to drive responsibly.     This system does not avoid the need 
to check the tyre pressures regularly 
(including the spare wheel) and before a 
long journey. 
 Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely 
affects road holding, extends braking 
distances and causes premature tyre 
wear, particularly under arduous conditions 
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).  
  Driving with under-inflated tyres 
increases fuel consumption.  
 The system continuously monitors the 
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the 
vehicle is moving. 
 A pressure sensor is located in the valve of 
each tyre (except the spare wheel). 
 The system triggers an alert if a drop in 
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.     The tyre pressures must be checked 
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped 
for 1 hour or after driving for less then 
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed). 
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values 
indicated on the label. 
 The tyre pressures for your vehicle can be 
found on the tyre pressure label. 
 The driver is warned of any 
malfunction of this emission 
control system by the illumination 
of this specific warning lamp in 
the instrument panel. 
 There is a risk of damage to the catalytic 
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
 Refer to the "Technical data - 
Identification markings" section.

   Instruments  and  controls   
  Under-inflation  alert 
  The alert is given by the fi xed 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by an audible signal, 
and depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.  
  In the event of a problem on one of the 
tyres, the symbol or the message appears, 
according to equipment, to identify it. 
   -   Reduce  speed,  avoid  sudden  steering 
movements or harsh brake applications. 
  -   Stop as soon as it is safe to do so. 
  -   In the event of a puncture, use the  temporary puncture repair kit or the 
spare wheel (according to equipment),  
 or 
  -   if you have a compressor, the one in  the temporary puncture repair kit for 
example, check the four tyre pressures 
when  cold,  
 or 
  -   if it is not possible to check the tyre  pressures at the time, drive carefully at 
reduced  speed.      The loss of pressure detected does not 
always lead to visible deformation of 
the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.  
   The alert is maintained until the tyre or 
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired 
or replaced. 
 The spare wheel (space-saver type or a 
steel rim) does not have a sensor.   
  Operating  fault 
  The flashing and then fixed 
illumination of this warning lamp 
accompanied by the illumination 
of the service warning lamp, and 
depending on equipment, the display of a 
message indicates a fault with the system. 
 In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures 
is not assured.  
  This alert is also displayed when one or 
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor 
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare 
wheel).  
  Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked or, 
following the repair of a puncture, to have 
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor, 
refitted.

SAFETY
Seat belts
 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. 
 The inertia reels are fitted 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.   Good  practice 
 The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
strapped in securely before moving off. 
 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 airbag warning lamp also 
comes on if the pretensioners are 
deployed. Contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
 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, 
  -   must 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 fulfil their role completely. If the 
seats are fitted 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 firmly. 
  Recommendations  for  children 
 Use an appropriate child seat if the 
passenger is under 12 years or less than 
one and a half metres tall. 
 Never carry a child on your knees, even with 
the seat belt fastened. 
 For more information on child seats, 
refer to the "Safety - Children on board" 
section. 
 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 qualified workshop: they must not show 
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they 
must not be converted or modified. 
 Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, sold 
by PEUGEOT dealers.

   Puncture   
 PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT   Repairing  the  tyre 
   -   Apply the parking brake. Unscrew the tyre valve cap, remove the filling hose   B  
and screw the ring   E  onto the valve,    -   start  the  engine, 
  -   insert  the  connector   G
  into the nearest 
power socket on the vehicle, 
  -   switch on the compressor by placing the  switch   F  in position   I   (on), 
  -   inflate the tyre to a pressure of 4 bars.  
 To obtain a more accurate reading, you are 
advised to check the pressure value on the 
pressure gauge   H , with the compressor off. 
  -   check that the switch   F  on the 
compressor is in position 0  (off), 
 This temporary puncture repair kit is located 
at the front of the passenger compartment. 
 It consists of: 
   -   a  cartridge   A
 , containing the sealant 
fluid, equipped with: 
   ●   a filling hose   B , 
  ●   a sticker   C  indicating "max. 80 km/h", 
which the driver must affix in full view 
(on the dashboard) after repairing the 
tyre,  
  -   a quick guide to use of the repair kit, 
  -   a  compressor   D   equipped with a 
pressure gauge and unions, 
  -   adaptors, for the inflation of various  items.
