SAFETY
Airbags
GENERAL POINTS ON AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
- in the event of a serious collision, the airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
- in the event of a less serious impact, an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on. Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

Under the bonnet
On the inside
This operation must only be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's door open.
Pull the release lever on the side of the
dashboard towards you.
On the outside
Push the safety catch lever located above
the grille to the right and raise the bonnet. Before closing the bonnet, put the stay back
in its housing.
Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of
its travel. Check that the bonnet has latched.
OPENING THE BONNET
Do not open the bonnet in strong
winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety
catch and stay with care (risk of burns). If the bonnet is not closed
correctly, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
an automatic change to START mode.
CLOSING THE BONNET
Bonnet stay
Unclip the stay and tilt it to insert it in the
first notch, then the second.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, ...) be limited.

CHECKS
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.
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.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by removing its three
fixing screws, then remove the second cover
fitted to the cap. 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.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
Capacity of the reservoir:
approximately 5.5 litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unscrew the
cap a quarter of a turn.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by removing its
three fixing screws.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.

Fuel

CHECKS
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have around 10 to 12 litres
in the reserve, depending on the capacity
of the tank, the engine type, the driving
conditions and the profile of the road. Refuel
without delay to avoid running out of fuel.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities, 60 and
125 litres, may be fitted.
REFUELLING
In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures. With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key. The fuel tank must be filled
with the engine
off.
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Support the cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then turn it anticlockwise.
- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and close the flap.

Discharged battery
The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from
naked flames or any possible sources of
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion and
fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
Proceed with a slow charge charge at low
current for a maximum pf about 24 hours to
avoid damaging the battery. The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special collection
point.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unscrew the 6 access cover retaining
screws.
Lift off or remove completely the access
cover.
Press lever
1 downwards to spread the
clamp.
Remove the terminal 2 from the negative (-)
post.
