PARKIN g  BRAK e
Applying
Pull the parking brake lever up to 
immobilise your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied 
firmly before leaving the vehicle. Pull on the parking brake lever, only 
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the 
parking brake when the vehicle is 
moving, apply the brake by pulling 
gently to avoid locking the rear wheels 
(risk of skidding).
Press this button, the direction 
indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only 
be used in dangerous situations, when 
stopping in an emergency or when 
driving in unusual conditions.
When parking on a slope, direct your 
wheels towards the pavement and pull 
the parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging 
a gear after parking the vehicle, 
particularly if the vehicle is loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has 
not been released properly, this is 
indicated by this warning lamp which 
comes on in the instrument panel.
Automatic operation of hazard 
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, 
depending on the force of deceleration, 
the hazard warning lamps come 
on automatically. They switch off 
automatically the first time you 
accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by 
pressing the switch on the dashboard.Releasing
Pull the lever up slightly and press the 
button to lower the parking brake lever.

operation
When your vehicle is too close to or 
approaches the vehicle ahead too 
quickly the system automatically 
applies the brakes to avoid a collision.
You are then alerted by the display of a 
message.
The brake lamps on your vehicle come 
on to warn other road users.
The collision can be avoided 
automatically if the difference in speed 
between your vehicle and the vehicle 
ahead does not exceed 9 mph  
(15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will 
do what is possible to avoid or reduce 
the accident by lowering the speed of 
impact.
The automatic braking may bring 
the vehicle to a complete stop if the 
situation requires it.
In this case, the vehicle is held 
stationary temporarily (for about  
1.5 seconds) to allow the driver to take 
back control by pressing the brake 
pedal.The triggering of the system may 
cause the engine to stall, unless 
the driver depresses the clutch 
pedal quickly enough during automatic 
braking.
During automatic braking, the 
driver can always obtain a higher 
rate of deceleration than that 
controlled by the system, by pressing 
firmly on the brake pedal.
After an impact, the system is 
automatically put out of service: it 
no longer operates.
You must go to a P
eugeo T dealer 
or a qualified workshop to have the 
system made operational again.
operating limits
The system only detects vehicles that 
are stationary or moving in the same 
direction as your vehicle.
It does not detect small vehicles 
(bicycles, motorcycles), 
pedestrians or animals, nor non-
reflective stationary objects.
The system is not triggered or is 
interrupted if the driver:
-
 
accelerates strongly
-
 
or turns the steering wheel 
suddenly (avoiding manoeuvre). In difficult weather conditions (very 
heavy rain, snow
, fog, hail...), 
braking distances increase, which 
can reduce the ability of the system to 
avoid a collision.
The driver must therefore remain 
particularly vigilant.
Never leave accumulations of 
snow or any object projecting 
above the bonnet or in front of 
the roof: this might fall into the field of 
vision of the sensor and generate a 
detection.

good practice
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...). This could hinder the 
operation of the airbags or injure the 
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has 
been stolen or broken into, have the 
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly 
forbidden unless it is carried out by 
qualified personnel at a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
e
ven 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. In fact, 
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. Lateral airbagso
nly put recommended covers on 
the seats. These will not hinder 
inflation of the lateral airbags. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs. This could cause injury to the 
chest or arms when the lateral airbag 
inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the 
body any nearer to the door than 
necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel 
by its spokes or resting your hands on 
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place 
their feet on the dashboard, they risk 
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible 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.
Airbags only operate when the 
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. 
If a second impact occurs (during the 
same or a subsequent accident), the 
airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags 
is accompanied by a slight discharge 
of smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but 
sensitive individuals may experience 
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result 
in a slight loss of hearing for a short 
time.
The passenger's front airbag must 
be deactivated if a child seat is 
installed rearward facing.
Chapter 5, "Child safety" section.

Front airbags
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.Deactivating the passengers front 
airbag
o
nly the passenger's front airbag can 
be deactivated.
-  
W
 ith the ignition switched off, 
insert the key into the passenger's 
front airbag deactivation switch.
-  T urn it to the " o FF" position.
-
 
Remove the key keeping the switch 
in the new position.
The passenger's front airbag
 
warning lamp in the instrument 
panel remains on while the 
airbag is deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps 
are on continuously, do not install 
a rearward facing child seat and 
contact a P
eugeo T dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to deactivate the 
passenger's front airbag when you 
install a rearward facing child seat on 
the front passenger seat. 
o therwise, 
the child would risk being killed or 
seriously injured if the airbag were 
deployed. Reactivation
In the "
o FF" position, the passenger's 
front airbag will not be deployed in the 
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, 
turn the passenger's front airbag switch 
to the " o N" position to reactivate the 
airbag and thus ensure the safety 
of your passenger in the event of an 
impact.
If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, consult a 
P eugeo T dealer or a 
qualified workshop to have 
the system checked.
The front airbags are fitted in the 
centre of the steering wheel for the 
driver and in the dashboard for the 
front passenger.

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the 
manufacturer.
o
therwise, 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.
If fluid has to be added frequently, 
this indicates a fault which must be 
checked by a P
eugeo T dealer as 
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level 
ground with the engine cold.  u nscrew 
the cap integrated with the gauge and 
check the level which must be between 
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the filter, you 
are advised to drive at a speed higher 
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five 
minutes as soon as possible, when 
traffic conditions permit (until the 
message disappears and the service 
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle 
emission filter, the noise of a relay 
operating may be heard under the 
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and 
if the service warning lamp remains 
on, contact a P
eugeo T dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
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 P
eugeo
T 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp 
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your 
safety, we would advise that you use 
products of the P
eugeo T range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid 
freezing, this fluid must not be topped 
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir: 
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp 
washers, the capacity of the reservoir 
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level 
(Diesel with particle 
filter)
topping up
This additive must be topped up by 
a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a qualified 
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil 
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and 
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid 
or coolant into drains or into the ground 
but into the containers dedicated to this 
use at a P
eugeo T dealer (France) or 
an authorised waste disposal site.
The minimum level of this additive 
is indicated by lighting of the service 
warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message in the 
screen.
When this occurs with the engine 
running it is due to the start of 
saturation of the particle filter 
(exceptionally prolonged urban type 
driving conditions: low speed, long 
traffic jams, ...).
