For rows 2 and 3, fit each seat belt to its
c orrect buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for
the outer seats with the belt or buckle for
the centre seat.
When folding the outer seats or placing
a backrest in the table position, avoid
trapping the belt for the centre seat.
After folding a rear seat or bench seat,
ensure that the seat belt has reeled
in correctly and the buckle is ready to
receive the belt tongue.
When handling the outer seats (removing
or refitting) or for access to row 3, avoid
trapping the centre belt.
The seat belt reels for the outer seats in row
2
have force limiters.
The seats in row 3 have three-point seat belts
with inertia reels.

Airbags
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions 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 slight irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in slight and temporary loss of
hearing.

Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A
, in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger side to cushion their
for ward movement.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2
and
3, depending on your vehicle) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
effect of the seat belts with force limiter.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2
and 3, as applicable); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the passengers,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.

deactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child,
the passenger front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off , turn the switch to the ON position
to reactivate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of
an impact.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.

This indicator lamp remains off while the child
lock is switched off.
In the event of a serious impact, the
electric child lock is deactivated (child lock
off) automatically.
Any other state of the indicator lamp
indicates a fault with the electric child
locks.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
This system is independent and in no
circumstances does it take the place of
the central locking control.
Do not drive with the sliding side door
open.

temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.

miles (1,000 kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1
to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
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.

The indicator lamp does not come on
if the engine is hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
-
I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4
minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Risk of intoxication and death. If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
