CO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions.

Optimise the use of your

Drive smoothly

gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has
the system, the gear shift indicator invites
you to change up; it is displayed in the
instrument panel, follow its instructions.

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.

Remember to make use of equipment

1

that can help keep the temperature in the
passenger compartment down (sun roof
and window blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unless it
has automatic digital regulation, as soon
as the desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D" or Auto "A" , according to
the type of gearbox, without pressing the
accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above 25 mph
(40 km/h) when the traffi c is fl owing well.

Control the use of your

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does not
require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle will
warm up much faster while driving.

electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (film, music,
video game...), you will contribute towards
limiting the consumption of electrical
energy, and so of fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.

FAMILIARISATIO

18

Limit the causes of
excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom of
the boot, as close as possible to the rear
seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof
box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.

Carry out this check in particular:

- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres

on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe
the schedule of operations recommended
by the manufacturer.

When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

ACCESS

REMOTE CONTROL

Unlocking the cab

Press this button once to unlock
your vehicle's cab.

The direction indicators flash
twice.

Press this button a second time to unlock
the side door(s) and the rear doors.

This selective function of the accesses is
active when the vehicle is delivered.

At your request, the network can deactivate
this selectivity of opening between the cab
and the load space, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Unlocking the load space

Press this button to unlock all of
the rear doors.

This separation of the locking

of the cab and load space is an
operating security feature. It enables you
to prevent access to the part of the vehicle
from which you are absent.

Central locking

Press this button to lock your

vehicle, cab and rear doors.

The direction indicators flash

once.
If one of the front doors is open or is not

closed correctly, the central locking will not
work.

Deadlocking

If your vehicle is fitted with deadlocking,
a second press on the closed padlock on
the remote control within five seconds after
locking changes the locking to deadlocking.

Access

This is confirmed by fixed lighting of the
direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.

Deadlocking renders the exterior and interior
door opening handles inoperative: do not
leave anyone inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.

If deadlocking is activated from inside the vehicle,
it will change to normal locking when the vehicle
is started.

Folding/unfolding the key

Press this button to release the
key from its housing.

To fold the key, press the

chromed button then fold the key
into the housing. If you do not press the
button, the mechanism may be damaged.

Good practice

Take care not to allow the remote control to
come into contact with grease, dust, rain or
a damp environment.

A heavy object attached to the key
(keyring, ...) weighing on the shaft of the key
in the switch, may cause a malfunction.

19

READY TO SET OFF

Access

This locks and unlocks the doors on the
vehicle, opens and closes the fuel filler cap,
as well as starting and stopping the engine.

REMOTE CONTROL

Changing the battery

Battery ref.: CR1620/3 volts.
The information "battery flat" is given by an

audible signal, accompanied by a message
on the display.

To replace the battery, unclip the casing
using a coin at the ring.

If the remote control does not work after the
battery has been changed, re-programme
the remote control.

There is a risk of damage if the replacement
battery does not conform.

Use only identical batteries or batteries of an
equivalent type to those recommended by
PEUGEOT dealers.

Do not discard the remote control batteries,
they contain metals which are harmful to the
environment.

Deposit them at a PEUGEOT dealership, or
at any other approved collection point.

Programming the remote control

Following changing of the remote control battery
or disconnection of the vehicle battery, the remote
control may have to be reprogrammed.

Wait at least one minute before using the remote
control.

Insert the key in the ignition switch with the buttons
(padlocks) of the remote control facing you.

Switch on the ignition.
Press the locking padlock for at least five

seconds within the next ten seconds.
Switch off the ignition.
Wait at least one minute before using the remote

control.
The remote control is now working again.

ELECTRONIC 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.

After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue
is established between the key and the
electronic immobiliser system.

The metal part of the key must be unfolded
correctly for correct dialogue to take place.

If you lose your keys

Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the
vehicle's V5 registration document and your
identification document.

A PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code so
that a replacement key can be ordered.

1

Good practice

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic
immobiliser system.

Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.

The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the
operation of the remote control temporarily.

The remote control does not operate while
the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition
is off.

As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:

- have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT
dealer to ensure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.

If fitted on your vehicle, this provides two
types of protection:

- exterior protection: it sounds if a front/
rear door or the bonnet is opened.

- interior protection: it sounds if
the volume inside the passenger
compartment changes (breaking of
a window or a movement inside the
vehicle).

If your vehicle is fitted with a separation
partition, the interior protection is not active
in the load space.

Locking the vehicle with complete

it is deactivated. Repeat the rules for setting the
alarm.

Locking the vehicle without alarm

- Insert the key in the lock on the driver's
door and lock it.

Do not set the alarm when washing your vehicle.

Failure of the remote control

When the alarm is set but the remote control
does not operate:

- Unlock the doors with the key and open
the door. The alarm is triggered.

- Switch on the ignition in the next ten seconds.
The alarm is disarmed.

Malfunction

When the ignition is switched on, if the red LED
remains on for ten seconds, this indicates a
malfunction with the siren connection.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Automatic setting of the alarm

Depending on the country in which the vehicle is
sold, the alarm is set automatically approximately
2 minutes after the last door is closed.

To prevent triggering of the alarm when a door
is opened, it is imperative to press the remote
control unlocking button again.

Do not make any modifi cations to the alarm
system as this could cause faults.

FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.

The gauge is positioned on:

- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.

- 0: the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned before the red
zone: normal operation.

In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.

What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:

- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes,

- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:

- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.

If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres.

Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.

What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle.

Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS

EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis)
is a diagnostics system which complies
with, among others, the standards
concerning authorised emissions of:

- CO (carbon monoxide),

- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.

The driver is warned of any malfunction of this
emission control system by the illumination of
this specifi c warning lamp in the instrument
panel.

There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.

Operation

A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.

The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.

The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:

- the distance travelled,

- the time which has elapsed since the last
service.

The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time

factor, depending on the type of driving.

More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
screen shows:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.

Instruments and controls

Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due

Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.

Service overdue

Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried out.

First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also comes on if the two-year interval has
elapsed.

READY TO SET OFF

Instruments and controls

Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.

However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:

- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,

- switch on the ignition.

The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release the button;

the spanner disappears.

After this operation, if you wish to

disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information.

Oil level correct

Lack of oil

Flashing of "OIL" , linked
with the service warning
light, accompanied by

an audible signal and a
message on the display, indicates a lack of
oil which could damage the engine.

If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the level
is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault

Flashing of "OIL--"

indicates a malfunction

of the engine oil level
gauge. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The level read will only be correct

if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.

Dipstick

A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B = minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.

Trip recorder zero reset

GEARBOXES AND STEERING WHEEL

To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.

To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:

- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,

- never 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.

Reverse gear

In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.

Never engage reverse gear before the vehicle
is completely stationary.

The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.

In order to drive as fuel effi ciently as
possible with a manual gearbox, this
indicator lamp indicates to the driver
to change up.

The driver remains responsible
for deciding whether or not to follow
this indication, since the indicator lamp
comes on without taking into account the
configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety factors.
The lighting of this indicator lamp cannot be
deactivated.

When reverse gear is engaged
and when changing down whilst
decelerating, the function is disabled.

Moving off

With the engine running, to move off from
position P .

- Press the brake pedal to
come out of position P ,

- select position R or D ,

- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.

You can also move off from position N .

- With your foot on
the brake, release
the parking brake,

- select position R , D or M ,

- gradually release the
pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle then moves off.

- Select position D .

The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear taking account of the following:

- the style of driving,

- the road profile,

- the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in auto-adaptive

mode, without any action on your part.

For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, depress

the accelerator pedal to the extent of
its travel, passing the point of resistance
(kickdown). The gearbox will automatically
change down or maintain the gear selected
until maximum engine speed is reached.

On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good pickup.

If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.

When stationary with the gear lever in
position D (drive), a vibration limiting device
is activated by pressing the brake pedal.

audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault" in
the screen.

In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P to R and from N to R (this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).

Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Manual mode

Manual sequential gear changing.

- Select gear lever position M ,

- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,

- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.

You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M

(manual mode) at any time.

In manual mode, it is only possible to change
from one gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit. If they do not, the vehicle will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.

When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear.

Good practice

Never select position N when the vehicle is
moving.

Never select positions P or R unless the
vehicle is stationary.

Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.

There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:

- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,

- if you force the gear lever from
position P to another position in the
event of a battery failure.

When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R , D or M is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.

For this reason, do not leave children

unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running .

REAR PARKING SENSORS

The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.

Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.

Engage reverse gear

An audible signal confi rms the activation of the
system by engaging reverse gear.

The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.

The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.

On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.

Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT.

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without

It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.

This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.

To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)

)

AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP

These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.

The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.

The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration.

Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.

If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.

Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems

The LED flashes when the ASR or
ESP is triggered.

Deactivating the ASR/ESP systems

In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.

- Press the button, located on the centre
console.

- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer act.

They engage again:

- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),

- manually by pressing the button again.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.

Good practice

The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.

The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.

After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.

Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap.

Unfastening

Press the red button.

Driver's seat belt not fastened warning
light

When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the driver
has not fastened his seat belt.

Passenger seat belt not fastened warning
light

If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not
fastened his seat belt.

Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.

The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.

Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.

Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.

After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.

Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

7

Triggering 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.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.

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 unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.

The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are triggered.
Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified
workshop.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.

The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.

The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they will
not fulfi l their role completely. If the seats are
fi tted with armrests, the lap part of the seat
belt should always pass under the armrest.

Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.

For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.

In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
guarantees all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.

Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.

FRONT SEAT BELTS

With front airbags

The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.

Without front airbag

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's

With bench seat

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
seat, take care to fasten the correct seat belt
using the correct buckle. Do not invert the
driver's seat belt or buckle with the buckle or

IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY

Roll Over Mitigation *

This system, linked with the ESP,
supplements the ABS-EBFD, ASR-ESP and
EBA braking functions, already covered in
this document, to guarantee a high level of
active safety. Indeed, the ROM system was
intended originally for top-of-the-range 4x4
type vehicles and today it is fitted on your
vehicle.

In situations of extreme transverse
acceleration, this module limits the risks
of the vehicle rolling over by acting on the
brakes.

* Roll-over prevention system.

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts suffered in the impact
detection zones:

- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.

- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.

The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact.

Airbags

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once. If
a second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.

The triggering of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke 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 some irritation.

The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

It is imperative that the passenger

airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

89

SAFETY

Airbags

Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hinder the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.

All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

Lateral airbags

Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.

Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.

Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.

9

Lateral airbags

If fitted on your vehicle, this is a system
which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to
the chest.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat
back frame, on the door side.

Deployment

It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

In the event of a minor impact or bump

on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.

The airbag is not deployed in the event of a
rear or front collision.

SAFETY

Airbags

Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.

Deployment

They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.

The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.

Deactivating

The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:

- With the ignition switched off , insert

the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,

- turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the switch

in the new position.

The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.

To ensure the safety of your child, it is

essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.

Reactivation

In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
airbag will not be deployed in the event of
an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON" position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.

Front airbag fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

If the two airbag warning lamps are

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO
CHILD SEATS

Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:

- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty 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 the transportation of children
are the rear seats,

- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,

- the passenger must not travel with a
child on his lap.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

"Rearwards-facing"

Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.

Child safety

"Forwards-facing"

Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger airbag armed.

The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Consult the current legislation
in your country.

Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.

SAFETY

Child safety

Passenger airbag OFF

The child seats function and the
passenger airbag disarming function
are common to the entire PEUGEOT
range.

If the passenger airbag is not disarmed, the
installation of a "rearwards-facing" child seat
in the front is strictly prohibited.

Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags" section.

Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passenger's
sun visor.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag
when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position on the front passenger's
seat.

Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

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.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child's body to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.

For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.

Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- one or more children alone and
unsupervised 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.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
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 to the rear windows.

Child safety

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 the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.

SAFETY

Towing a trailer

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,

refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases

the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
