ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
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.
t

he 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 the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
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.
Installing a booster seat
the chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
e

nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
euge O t
recommends the use of a

booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
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.
t

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

nsure 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. As a safety precaution, never 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
l ock".
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.
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.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
to attach this strap:
-
remove and stow the head restraint

before fitting the child seat to this seat
(refit it once the child seat has been
replaced),
-

pass the strap of the child seat over the

top of the seat backrest, between the
head restraint rod apertures,
-

attach the hook on the strap to the rear

ring,
-

tighten the top strap.
Y

our vehicle has been approved in
accordance with the latest ISOFIX
regulation.
t

he mountings comprise three rings for each
rear bench side seat:
-

two front rings

A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion,
-
a rear ring
B , for securing the upper strap
referred to as the
tOP


tet

H
e
R.
t

he
top tether is used to secure the upper


strap of child seats that have one.
t

his
arrangement reduces the forward tipping of
the child seat in the event of a front impact.
t

his ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in
your vehicle.
t
he incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Observe in full the fitting instructions in the
installation handbook provided with the child
seat.
Refer to the summary table showing
the installation possibilities for ISOFIX
child seats in your vehicle.
t
he ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
front rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring B .

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
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.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer

138
Bipper_en_Chap07_accessoire_ed02-2014
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "
l evels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
t

he air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine.
t

he maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "
t
echnical data -


Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
P
euge O t towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
euge O t towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P

euge O t

dealer

, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
t

he operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Refer to the "
t
echnology on board -


Parking sensors" section.
For information on the maximum
weights and towed loads applicable to
your vehicle, refer to the "

CHECKS
Bleeding water from the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
to remove the water
, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out.
t

hen tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a P euge O t
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment
filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
t

he replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the warranty and maintenance record.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
u

nless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a P euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
t

he presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
t

he involvement of a P
euge
O
t
dealer


or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks -
