General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Consult the
legislation in force in your country.
Although one of the main criteria of PEUGEOT
when designing your vehicle, the safety of your
children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve 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 an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
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.
PEUGEOT recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-

"
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
-

"
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Child seat at the front
Rearward facing
When a rearward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle’s seat to the rearmost longitudinal
position, with the backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed .
(Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing your child on this seat.)
Forward facing
When a for ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat
, adjust the vehicle's
seat to the rearmost longitudinal position
with seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's front airbag activated.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger
seat.

Safety

Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P, depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-

d

eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6

mph (10

km/h),
-

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads. If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle)
refer to the corresponding section.
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.

Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000
metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000

metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
