FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately 80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the warning lamp comes on continuously.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the red
zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:

- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time, up to approximately
10 minutes,
- wait for the engine to cool down in order to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6. What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Deactivation of manual height correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery power.
Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the
height of the platform may change due to the
automatic height correction on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual height correction
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual height
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ... Warning lamp
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2. If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to
switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until height correction returns to automatic
mode. Return to manual correction is confirmed by
the LED which goes off.
Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP04_SECURITE_ED01-2014
Deactivation
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:
- with the ignition switched off , insert the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the switch in the new position. 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. Reactivation
In the
"OFF" position, the passenger's
airbag will not be deployed in the event of
an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON" position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
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. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Front airbag fault
If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a "rearward
facing" child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.

Child safety

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
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
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rearward facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
For the optimum installation of a "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.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
Ensure 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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
- a "rearward facing" child seat,
- the feet of a child seated in a "forward facing" child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest as well. Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
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. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.
