ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
CHILdREN AT THE FRONTThe incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt buckle under the child
seat, as this could destabilise it.
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.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the
seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the
child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger
seat is adjustable, move it forwards if necessary

.
At
rear seating positions, always leave sufficient space between
the front seat and:
-


a rearward facing child seat,
-

the child's feet for a child seat fitted forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat forwards and, if necessary, move
its backrest into the upright position.
For optimum installation of the 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 , in contact if possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before installing a child seat
with backrest to a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or attached securely to
prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp
braking. Refit the head restraint when the child seat is
removed. The legislation on carrying children on the front passenger seat
is

specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your
country

.
Deactivate the passenger's front 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 SEA T
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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fitted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
-

a child or 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.

IGNITION SWITCH
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to the reserve level, the \
system switches to energy economy mode: the power supply is cut off
automatically to preserve the remaining battery charge.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can stay on for a longer
period. When the engine is hot, the warning lamp does not
come
on.
STARTING-SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
It has 3 positions:
-
position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the key,
-
position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column unlocked, ignition on,
Diesel preheating, engine running,
-
position 3 (Starting).
STARTING THE ENGINE
With the parking brake applied and the gearbox in neutral or
position
N or P:
F

depress the clutch pedal fully (manual gearbox),


or
F press
the brake pedal firmly (automatic gearbox),
F

insert the key into the ignition switch; the system recognises
the

code,
F

unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering
and the key

.
F

With a petrol engine, operate the starter motor by turning the key to
position 3

without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running, release the key.
F

With a Diesel engine, turn the key to position 2

, ignition on, to
operate the engine pre-heating system.
In certain cases, you may have to apply more force to the steering
(wheels on full lock, for example).
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key, which would weigh down
on its blade in the ignition switch and could cause a malfunction. Switching off the engine leads to a loss of braking assistance. Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel
then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position
3
without pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine starts.
Once the engine is running, release the key.

In temperate conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm
up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed.To facilitate unlocking of the steering column, it is recommended
that the wheels be returned to the straight ahead position before
switching off the engine.
For more information, refer to the "Practical information" section,
under "Energy economy mode". When you leave the vehicle, keep the key with you and lock
the
vehicle.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before operating the starter motor again.
If the engine does not start after several attempts, do not keep
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor or the engine. Contact
a
PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle is at a complete
stop. With the engine off, the braking and steering assistance
systems are also cut off: risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without
adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of intoxication
and death!
In very severe wintry conditions (temperatures below -23°C), to
ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is necessary
to leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving of

f.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

F
With the engine running at idle, turn the key to position 1

.
F

Remove the key from the ignition switch.
F


T
o lock the steering column, turn the steering until it locks.
F

Check that the parking brake is correctly applied, particularly on
sloping ground.
Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1-Stop), for a maximum of
30 minutes you can still use functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps,

ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When
the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few minutes after the ignition is switched off, this electronic engine
immobiliser locks the engine management system and prevents starting
of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.In the event of a malfunction, you are informed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon as possible.
Key left in the "Ignition on" position
On opening the driver's door, an alert message is displayed,
accompanied by an audible signal, to remind you that the key is
still in the ignition switch at position 1 (Stop).
If the key has been left in the ignition switch at position 2 (Ignition
on), the ignition will be switched off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key to position 1 (Stop),
then back to position 2 (Ignition on).
