The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as 
they will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
permitting automatic adjustment of the length 
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is 
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat 
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic 
locking device which comes into operation in 
the event of a collision, emergency braking 
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release 
the device by pulling the strap firmly and 
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is 
less than 12 years old or shorter than one 
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to 
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of the impact , the pretensioning device may 
be deployed before and independently of the 
airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners 
is accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp 
comes
 
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-  b e tightened as close to the body as 
possible,
-
 
b
 e pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it does not 
twist,
-
 
b
 e used to restrain only one person,
-
 
n
 ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-
 
n
 ot be converted or modified to avoid 
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's 
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy 
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by 
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.

 I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.  The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be visible.  Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is switched on.  Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all". 
 The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.  You can check the compatibility of your telephone at the Brand's website (services). 
 The volume of the telephone connected in Bluetooth mode is inaudible. 
 The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.  Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary. 
 The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone communication.  Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).

Windscreen wash
Wiper control stalk
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you.
The windscreen wash and then the wiper will 
operate for a fixed period.
The windscreen wash includes a wiper 
blade system with integral washer jets.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed from 
along the length of the wiper blade. 
This improves visibility and reduces the 
consumption of screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the 
composition or the colour of the liquid and 
the outside lighting, the liquid spray may 
be hardly perceptible. To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do 
not operate the windscreen washer if the 
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if 
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the 
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always 
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for 
low temperatures during the winter period.
