the

vehicle, with the engine running.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
position P .

DRIVING -

Automatic operation

  Automatic   changing  of  the  four
gears:
      select position  D  in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the follow-
ing parameters:
   -   the road proﬁ le,
  -

the vehicle load.

The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any ac-
tion on your part.

SAFETY -

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBFD)

The  ABS,  in  conjunction  with  the
electronic  brake  force  distribution,
increases  the  stability  and  manoeu-
vrability  of  your  vehicle  on  braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system enables
the  optimum  braking  pressure  to  be
reached  more  quickly,  thus  reducing
the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the  brake  pedal  is  activated.  The
effect of this is a reduction in the re-
sistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking efﬁ ciency.
When braking in an emergency,

press ﬁ rmly without releasing the

pressure.
Depending  on  the  force  of  the  de-
celeration, the hazard warning lights
are  switched  on  automatically.  They
are  switched  off  automatically  on
acceleration.

When

this

warning

light

comes on, accompanied by
a buzzer and a message, it
indicates that there is a mal-

function of the ABS, which can cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.

When

this

warning

light

comes  on,  connected  to  the
STOP   warning  light,  accom-
panied  by  a  buzzer  and  a

message,  it  indicates  that  there  is  a
malfunction  of  the  electronic  brake
force  distribution,  which  can  cause
a loss of control of the vehicle when
braking.
  Stop immediately.
   In  both  cases,  consult  a   PEUGEOT
dealer.

Note: when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.

The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations of
the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press very

ﬁ rmly without releasing the pressure.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger)  in  the  event  of  serious
collisions;  they  work  in  conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and ana-
lyse  the  front  and  side  impacts  suf-
fered  in  the  impact  detection  zones
(see  diagram):  in  the  event  of  a

serious impact, the air bags inﬂ ate

instantly  and  protect  the  occupants
of  the  vehicle  (with  the  exception  of
the rear centre passenger).

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the
steering  wheel  for  the  driver  and  in
the  fascia  for  the  front  passenger.
They  are  deployed  simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed,  in  the  event  of  a  serious
front  impact  applied  in  the  impact
zone  A  in the longitudinal centreline,
on  a  horizontal  plane  and  from  the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.

The air bag inﬂ ates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
In this way, the air bags limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.

   If  this  warning  light  comes
on,  accompanied  by  an  au-
dible  signal  and  a  message
on  the  multifunction  display,

contact  a   PEUGEOT   dealer  to  have
the  system  checked.  The  air  bags
may  no  longer  be  triggered  in  the
event of a serious impact.

Front air bag malfunction

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

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂ ate rapidly, so that they do

not  hinder  the  visibility  of  the  occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The  air  bags  will  not  be  deployed  in
collisions which are not serious, rear
impacts  or  in  certain  roll-over  con-

ditions. The seat belt is sufﬁ cient to

provide maximum protection in these
situations.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.
This  equipment  will  only  operate
once.  If  a  second  impact  occurs
(during  the  same  or  a  subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.

  Note:   the  triggering  of  an  air  bag  or
air  bags  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 gas may cause slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult  in  a  slight  loss  of  hearing  for  a
short time.

Impact detection zones

SAFETY -

Disarming the passenger air

bag

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pas-

senger air bag when you install a

rear-facing child seat on the front

passenger seat. Otherwise, the

child would risk being killed or se-

riously injured if the air bag were

to inﬂ ate.


With the ignition switched off ,

insert the key into the passenger
air  bag  disarming  switch   1 ,  turn
it to the  "OFF"  position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position.

The  air  bag  warning  light
on  the  instrument  panel  is
lit  throughout  the  period  of
disarming.

In  the   "OFF"   position,  the  passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the  "ON"  po-
sition  to  re-activate  the  air  bag  and
thus  ensure  the  safety  of  your  pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

With the ignition on (2nd notch),
illumination of this warning light
indicates  that  the  passenger
air  bag  is  disarmed  (switch  in
the  "OFF"  position).

Disarming check

This is conﬁ rmed by an indicator

light.

For the front air bags

to be fully effective, ob-

serve the following safety

rules:

Wear a correctly adjusted seat

belt.

Sit in a normal upright position.

Do not leave anything between

the occupants and the air bags
(child, animal, object...).

This could hamper the opera-
tion of the air bags or injure the
occupants.

All work on the air bag systems

is strictly prohibited unless it is

carried out by qualiﬁ ed person-

nel of the PEUGEOT network.

After an accident or if the vehi-

cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag systems
checked.

Do not drive holding the steer-

ing wheel by its spokes or rest-
ing your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.

Passengers must not place their

feet on the fascia.

Smoke as little as possible;

deployment of the air bags can
cause burns or the risk of injury
from a cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the

steering wheel or hit it violently.

If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously,
do not install a rear-facing
child

seat.

Consult

PEUGEOT dealer.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt height adjustment:
-

to lower: pull the control towards
you and slide it downwards,

to raise: slide the control upwards.

  To fasten the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into
the buckle.
Check  that  the  seat  belt  is  fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.

Front seat belts with

pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety  in  the  event  of  front  impacts
has  been  improved  by  the  introduc-
tion  of  seat  belts  with  pre-tensioner
and  force  limiter  for  the  front  seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact,  the  pre-tensioning  system
instantly  tightens  the  seat  belts  and
pulls  them  against  the  bodies  of  the
occupants.
The  pre-tensioning  seat  belts  are
active when the ignition is on.
The  force  limiter  eases  the  pressure
of  the  seat  belt  on  the  body  of  the
occupant in the event of an accident.

Rear seat belts
The three rear seats are ﬁ tted with

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

SAFETY -

The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-

strained before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulﬁ l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are ﬁ tted with an in-

ertia  reel  permitting  automatic  ad-
justment  of  the  length  of  the  strap
to your size. The seat belt is stored
automatically when not in use.
Before  and  after  use,  ensure  that
the seat belt is rolled up 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  ﬁ tted  with  an

automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,

must restrain one adult only,

must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

must be pulled in front of you with
a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

must not be transformed or modiﬁ ed

to avoid altering its performance.

   In  accordance  with  current  safety
regulations,  all  repairs  and  checks
must be carried out by a  PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
   Have  your  seat  belts  checked  regu-
larly by a  PEUGEOT  dealer and par-
ticularly  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 rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for children:
-

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

ﬁ fty,

do not use the strap-guide *
when a child seat is installed.

never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person,

never allow a child to travel on
your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts , the pre-

tensioning   device may be triggered
before  and  independently  of  the
air  bags.  Triggering  of  the  pre-ten-
sioners  is  accompanied  by  a  slight
emission of harmless smoke and a
noise,  due  to  the  activation  of  the
pyrotechnic  cartridge  incorporated
in the system.
In  all  cases,  the  air  bag  warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts  system  checked,  and  if  nec-
essary  replaced,  by  a   PEUGEOT
dealer.

Never ﬁ ll past this mark.
  B  = minimum
To  maintain  the  reliability
of  engines  and  emission
control  systems,  the  use
of  additives  in  engine  oil
is prohibited.

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.

Brake fluid level

The brake ﬂ uid must be changed

according to the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
Use ﬂ uids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulﬁ l DOT4 stan-

dards.
Note:

brake ﬂ uid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.

Used oil

Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake ﬂ uid or

coolant into drains or onto the ground.

Dipstick

  Viscosity selection
In  all  cases,  the  oil  selected  must
meet  the  manufacturer's  require-
ments.

Cooling system

Use the ﬂ uid recommended by the

manufacturer.
When  the  engine  is  warm,  the  tem-
perature  of  the  coolant  is  controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate  with  the  ignition  key  removed
and  because  the  cooling  system  is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after  the  engine  has  stopped  before
carrying out any work.
Slacken  the  cap  by  two  turns  to  re-
lease  the  pressure  to  prevent  any
risk  of  scalding.  When  the  pressure
has  dropped,  remove  the  cap  and
top up the level.
  Note:   the  coolant  does  not  need  to
be changed.

Power steering reservoir

 Open the reservoir, with the en-

gine at ambient temperature. The
