Safety
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.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
– a child alone and unattended in a vehicle,
–  a child or an animal in a vehicle which is 
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
–  the keys within reach of children inside the 
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear
Row 2 
 
Forward-facing or rearward-facing
 
 
 
 
►  Move the vehicle's front seat forward and 
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the 
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing 
The vehicle's front door panels include side 
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or 
incorrectly executed work (modification or 
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 
could compromise the operation of these 
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral 
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof, 
as this could cause head injuries when the 
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on 
the roof, as they play a part in securing the 
curtain airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are  specific to each country. Refer to the 
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the 
following recommendations:
–
 
In accordance with European regulations,  all 
children under the age of 12 or less than 4 
ft 1
1” (150 cm) tall must travel in approved 
child seats suited to their weight , on seats 
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically , the safest seats in your 
vehicle for carrying children are the rear 
seats.
–
 
Children weighing less than 9 kg must 
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in 
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel 
on the rear seats  of the vehicle:
–
 
‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
–
 
‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly 
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that 
the support leg is in firm and steady contact 
with the floor.
Remove and stow the head restraint 
before installing a child seat with 
backrest on a passenger seat. Refit the head 
restraint once the child seat has been 
removed.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat  compromises the child's safety 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 
harness of child seats, 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 the vehicle. 
If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it 
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with a 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 once 
the child seat has been 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.
Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped 
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the 
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
 
Monitor your environment and keep your 
hands on the wheel to be able to react to 
anything that may happen any time.
►
 
Drive smoothly
 , anticipate the need for 
braking and maintain a longer safety distance, 
especially in bad weather.
►
 
Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that 
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►
 
During long trips, take a break every two 
hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a 
closed space without sufficient 
ventilation.  Internal combustion engines emit 
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature 
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 
minutes before moving off, to ensure the 
correct operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your vehicle 
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied . Risk of overheating and 
damage to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable 
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, etc.).  The 
exhaust system of your vehicle is very hot, 
even several minutes after the engine stops. 
Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised.
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.
 
 
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15   cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users,
►
 
deactivate the Stop & Start function,
►
 
drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In 
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
  km/h),
►
 
do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions 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.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density 
of the air decreases with altitude and the 
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before 
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000 
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature 
of the coolant. The maximum towable load 
depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan 
does not increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, 
so as to limit the heating-up.

warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle 
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the 
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the 
wind that the vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control 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.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed 
by illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer as soon as possible.

Special cases
The engine will restart automatically if all 
conditions for operation are met again and in the 
following case.
–
 
Speed of the vehicle exceeds 2 mph (3
   km/h) 
(depending on the engine).
In this case, this indicator lamp flashes for 
a few seconds, then goes off.
Malfunctions
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:In the event of a system malfunction, this 
warning lamp flashes on the instrument 
panel.
The warning lamp in this button flashes  and a message appears, accompanied by 
an audible signal.
Have the vehicle checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come 
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message 
may also be displayed, prompting you to place 
the gear selector in position  N and depress the 
brake pedal.
►
 
Switch off the ignition then start the engine 
again with the key or the " ST
ART/STOP" button.
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V 
battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be 
carried out only by a PEUGEOT
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically checks the pressures  of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it 
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or 
more tyres.
Under-inflation detection does not 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel) as well as before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the  Identification 
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the 
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or 
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10
  km) at 
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be 
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow 
chains.
Spare wheel
The steel spare wheel does not have an 
under-inflation detection sensor.
Under-inflation alert
This is signalled by the fixed illumination  of this warning lamp, accompanied by an 
audible signal and, depending on equipment, the 
display of a message.
►  Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive 
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►  Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not  always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►  Using a compressor, such as the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the 
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►  If it is not possible to make this check 
immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.
►  In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel 
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is  reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
Reinitialise the system after adjusting one or 
more tyre pressures and after changing one or 
more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, make 
sure that the pressures of the four tyres    

106
Driving
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the 
associated functions may be impaired through 
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in 
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar.
 
 
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions 
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen 
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, 
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or 
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message 
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed: 
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see 
user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, 
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, 
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light) can also impair 
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the camera; 
otherwise, the operation of the associated 
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) 
displayed on the touch screen or on the 
instrument panel may be distorted by the 
relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they 
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as 
the associated functions may be disturbed 
by sound interference such as that emitted 
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, 
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of 
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the 
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors 
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can 
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not 
always detected by the system: distance 
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect 
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) 
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind 
spots may not be detected or may no longer 
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound 
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and 
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure, 
direct the spray from at least 30
  cm away 
from the sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of 
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
►  ensure that the mat is secured correctly,
►  never fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed 
on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are 
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is 
stationary, set the display to the required 
units of speed so that it complies with what is 
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.

Blind Spot Monitoring 
System
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system includes sensors, placed on the 
sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of 
the potentially dangerous presence of another 
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot 
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden
  from   the 
driver's field of vision).
 
 
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the 
side in question:
–
 
fixed
 , immediately, when being overtaken;
– flashing , after a delay of about one second, 
when overtaking a vehicle slowly , and when the 
direction indicator is used.
Activation / Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is  set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
The system state remains in memory  when the ignition is switched off.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by 
PEUGEOT.

front and behind are confused with a lorry or a 
stationary object.
Malfunction
If the event of malfunction, this warning 
lamp comes on in the instrument panel, 
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary  interference in certain weather conditions 
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or 
moving from a dry area to a wet area can 
cause false alerts (for example, the presence 
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot 
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the 
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in 
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the 
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels 
or other objects; they may hamper correct 
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot  Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door 
mirror on the side in question, a correction of 
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross a 
lane marking with the direction indicators on, to 
help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active 
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot 
Monitoring System.
These two functions must be activated and in 
operation.
