Installing a height-adjustable (booster)

The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a height-adjustable
(booster) seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.

of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:

hild or children alone and
unattended in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t

stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section. Certain driving or manoeuvring aid

Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
the engine being started by anyone who does
not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

It is essential that the maximum

serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp

When travelling without a trailer or load
carrier, the towball must be removed and
the blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
This measure applies particularly where
the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.Blanking plug
In the event of towing, it is essential to remove
the blanking plug if your vehicle has one.
To do this, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Fitting roof bars
Fitting directly to the roof
When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
hidden by the vehicle doors when closed.Use accessories recommended by
PEUGEOT,


observing the manufacturer's
recommendations and fitting instructions
so as to avoid the risk of damaging the
body (deformation, scratches, etc.). Do not exceed the maximum authorised
load, shown in the instructions for the roof
bars.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects that are longer than
the vehicle.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars. Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as
close as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
and the stability of the vehicle may be
affected.
On a long journey, check the security of
the load at every stop.
Remove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed.
