Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; 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, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, 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
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.

seat suitable for the installation of a
child seat secured using the seat belt
and universally approved for "rearward
facing" and/or "forward facing" use.
U(R): as for U , the vehicle seat must be
adjusted to the highest and fully back
position.

(c) Refer to the current legislation in your
country before installing your child on
this seat.
(d) To install a child seat at the rear,
rear ward or for ward facing, move the
front seat for ward, then adjust the
backrest to an upright position to allow
enough room for the child seat and the
child's legs.
(e) When a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed in the front passenger seat, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
When a "for ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat,
the passenger's airbag must remain
activated.
(f ) A child seat with support leg must never
be installed on this passenger seat.

"ISOFIX" mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulations.
The seats, shown below, are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
There are three rings for each seat: This arrangement reduces 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.
ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches
which are secured on the two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap which is
attached to ring B . F

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the
left-hand rear position of the bench seat,
before fitting the seat, first move the
centre rear seat belt towards the middle
of the vehicle, so as to avoid inter ference
with the operation of the seat belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Strictly follow the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with
the child seat.

installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices
that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently and
change up without waiting. During acceleration
change up early.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
give preference to automatic mode and avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or
suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage
the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an electronic or
automatic gearbox, this indicator appears only
in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use
engine braking rather than the brake pedal,
and press the accelerator progressively. These
practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also help
reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25
mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before using
the air conditioning.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help keep
the temperature in the passenger compartment
down (sunroof and window blinds, etc.).
Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible. Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
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, etc.). 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.
