Instructions for 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 the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear 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. When a child seat is installed in row 3, place
the backrests of the outer seats and the
centre seat of row 2 in the table position, or
remove these row 2 seats so that the child
seat or the child's legs do not touch the row
2 seats.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, check that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it.
The head restraint must be removed 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 (height adjuster)
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 vehicle 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,
use the "Child lock" system.
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 front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger’s front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
may be seriously injured or killed if the airbag
is deployed.

In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.F

the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 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 adjusting
the Headlamp beam
, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Starting and stopping

Please check!Diesel engines
If the temperature is high enough,
the warning lamp comes on for
less than a second, you can start
without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp to go
off then operate the starter (starting position)
until the engine starts.
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to
idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.

Electronic engine
immobiliser
All of the keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
The metal part of the key must be correctly
unfolded to ensure a good connection.
In case of lost keys
See a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle
registration certificate and your ID.
A PEUGEOT dealer can retrieve the key
code and the transponder code to order the
replacement key.
When you leave the vehicle, check that the
lamps are off and do not leave valuables
visible.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the

There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded. Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is stationary
.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is moving,
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).
Release
F Pull the lever up slightly and press the button to release the parking brake lever.
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on indicates
that the parking brake is still on or
has not been fully released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always press the clutch
pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned and
secured to the floor correctly,
-
n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on the
gear knob as the force exerted, even if slight,
may wear the internal components of the
gearbox over time.

Fuel
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached
this warning lamp comes on.
When it first comes on, around 8
litres remain
in the tank, according to your driving style and
your engine.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel,
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.
Filling
The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off. When filling the fuel tank, do not continue after
the 3
rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could cause
malfunctions.
The capacity of the tank is approximately
60
litres (53 litres for BlueHDi Diesel versions).

When refilling, a mechanical
system prevents opening of

that nobody attempts to slide
open this door while the fuel
flap is open.
After closing the flap, the
sliding side door can become
blocked. Push the door to
close it and then open it.

Opening the filler cap may create a noise
caused by an inrush of air. This is entirely
normal and results from the sealing of the fuel
system.

Load distribution
F D istribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as
possible to the axle, and the nose weight
approaches the maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
load which can be towed must be reduced by
10% per 1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their original
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towbar is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label and in the Technical data
section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
