When replacing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that they comply with manufacturer
recommendations.Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency. In emergency braking, press very firmly
and maintain this pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and dynamic stability
control (DSC)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of
the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The stability control acts on the brake of one
or more wheels and on the engine to keep the
vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver,
within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of a
problem with grip or trajectory. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
the ASR and DSC systems, so that the wheels
can regain grip.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely 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 completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length
to automatically adjust to your shape. The
seat belt returns to its storage position
automatically when it is not used.
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 a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event
of a collision or 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.In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-
M ust be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-
M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-
M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-
M
ust not show signs of tearing or fraying,
-
M
ust not be changed or modified, in order
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 by 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 a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. Instructions 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 impacts , the pyrotechnic device may
trigger before and independently of airbag
deployment. 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.
After an impact, have the seat belt system
checked and, if necessary, replaced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Advice on child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating places, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-
t
he feet of a child seated in a "for ward
facing" child seat.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position. For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, or if possible in contact with it.
You must remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest on
a passenger seat. Ensure that the head
restraint is stored or attached securely to
prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking. Refit the
head restraint when the child seat is removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a car which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
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.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children in the front
The legislation on carrying a child on the front
passenger seat is specific to each country.
Refer to the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
may be seriously injured or killed were the
airbag to be deployed.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the steering wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied – Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6 inches (15
cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h).
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.

Recharging the main
battery
Two types of charging are available: normal or
fast.
Normal charging is the preferred procedure; it
is carried out via a domestic electricity network.
Fast charging is carried out via a compatible
fast charging point.
Normal charging
* (e.g. for France: Standard NF C 15 -100)During charging
, if you have a
pacemaker or another electric
medical device, you must not
stay inside or close to the
vehicle, the charging cable,
the charging unit or just the
charging point, even for a short
time.
It is crucial to speak to your
doctor and find out about the
precautions to take, and to
respect them. Before making any connection, check that
the electrical installation that you want to
use meets standards* and is compatible
with the amperage of your control unit.
In case of doubt, contact a professional
installer.
There are power points available that are
designed specifically for charging electric
vehicles.
For power points dedicated to charging an
electric vehicle, refer to the corresponding
installation recommendations.
In all cases, it is recommended that
you first have an initial check and then
regular checks on your installation
carried out by a qualified electrician.
In most European countries, PEUGEOT
has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can offer a
check and update of your electrical
installation. For more information, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Use only the original PEUGEOT charging
cable.
