Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the 
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof 
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on 
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in 
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- 
b
 efore a long journey,
-
 
a
 t each change of season,
-
 
a
 fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, 
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of 
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle 
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop 
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to 
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to 
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles  
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to 
a consistent average.

High load retaining net
Hooked onto the upper fixings and onto the 
lower rings or the lugs, this permits use of the 
entire loading volume up to the roof:

seats are folded.
When positioning the net, check that 
the strap loops are visible from the

tightening easier. Never use the ISOFIX ring intended for 
fixing the upper strap of child seat to the 
Top Tether.

For the airbags to be fully 
effective, observe the safety 
recommendations below:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to 
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this 
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly 
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen or broken into, have the airbag 
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be 
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of seat 
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can 
contact a PEUGEOT  dealer.
For more information on accessories, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury 
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is 
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned 
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor 
burns to the head, chest or arms when an 
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The 
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few 
milliseconds) then deflates within the same 
time discharging the hot gas via openings 
provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its 
spokes or resting your hands on the centre 
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the 
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, this could cause 
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This 
could cause injury to the head if the curtain 
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab handles installed on the roof, they play 
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

Carrying children
General pointsPEUGEOT recommends that children 
should travel in the outer  rear seats of 
your vehicle:
-
 
"
 rearward facing"  up to the age of 3,
-
 
"
 forward facing"  over the age of 3.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children 
also depends on you.
At the rear
Rearward facing
When a rear ward facing child seat is installed 
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's 
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest 
so that the rear ward facing child seat does not 
touch the vehicle's front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with backrest on a 
passenger seat.
Refit the head restraint once the child seat has 
been removed.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly 
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, 
ensure that this is in firm contact with 
the floor. If necessary, adjust the front 
seat of the vehicle.
* 
 
T
he regulations on carrying children are 
specific to each country. Refer to the 
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the 
following recommendations:
-
 
i
n accordance with European regulations, 
all children under the age of 12 or less 
than one and a half metres tall must 
travel in approved child seats suited to 
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat 
belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
-
 
s
tatistically, the safest seats in your 
vehicle for carr ying children are the 
rear seats,
-
 
a c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must 
travel in the rear ward facing position 
both in the front and in the rear.
Forward facing
When a for ward facing child seat is installed 
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's 
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest 
so that the legs of the child in the for ward 
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front 
seat.

Your vehicle has been approved in accordance 
with the latest ISOFIX regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fitted with 
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
-  t wo rings A , located between the vehicle 
seat back and cushion, indicated by a 
marking, When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left 
hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first 
move the centre rear seat belt towards the 
middle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat 
interfering with the operation of the seat belt.
For information on the possibilities for 
installing ISOFIX child seats in your 
vehicle, refer to the summary table.
-
 
a r
 ing B behind the seat for fixing the upper 
strap, referred to as the TOP TETHER .
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the 
upper strap of child seats that have one. This 
arrangement limits the forward tipping of the 
child seat in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, 
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your 
vehicle. To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER:
-  
r
 emove and stow the head restraint before 
installing the child seat in this seating 
position (refit it once the child seat has 
been removed),
-  
p
 ass the strap of the child seat over the top 
of the seat backrest, centred between the 
apertures for the head restraint rods,
-  
f
 ix the hook of the upper strap to the ring B
,
-  
t
 ighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat 
in a vehicle compromises the child's 
protection in the event of an accident.
Follow the instructions for fitting child 
seats contained in the installation guide 
supplied with the child seat.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two 
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap , known 
as the TOP TETHER, which is attached to 
ring   B
.
