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.

Disarm the passenger air bag* when a "rear

facing" child seat is installed on the front

seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the air bag were

to inflate.

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.

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 on the rear windows.

* According to version.

the "Weights" section of chapter 9.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:

gearbox in neutral.

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

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.

On the contrary, use a high gear to lower

the engine speed and reduce your speed.

Towing a trailer

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant

temperature.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous

use (towing the maximum load up a steep

slope in high temperatures), the engine

automatically limits its power. In this

case, the automatic cutting off of the air

conditioning allows the engine power to be

recovered.

If the coolant temperature warning

light comes on, stop the vehicle

and switch off the engine as soon

as possible.

Tyres:

check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle (see the "Identification

features" section of chapter 9) and of

the trailer, observing the recommended

pressure.

Brakes:
towing increases the braking distance. Drive

at a moderate speed, change down early

and brake gradually.

Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive

smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle, not

the trailer.

Rear parking assistance:
the assistance does not function while

the vehicle is towing.

Towbar

We recommend the use of original

PEUGEOT towbars and harnesses, which

have been tested for endurance from

the design stage of your vehicle.

Towing equipment must be fitted in

accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions, with particular attention to

the towing capacities of your vehicle,

the load towed, the nose weight and the

electrical connection. As this fitting should

be carried out by a professional, we

recommend that you entrust the fitting of

this equipment to a PEUGEOT dealer.

In accordance with the general instructions

a reminder of which has been given above,

we draw your attention to the risk linked with

fitting a towbar or electrical accessory not

recommended by PEUGEOT.

Fitting such equipment could result in

the failure of your vehicle’s electronic

system. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer

for information before fitting this type of

equipment.

See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Levels

LEVELS

These regular maintenance operations

will keep your vehicle in good running

order. Consult the instructions at PEUGEOT

dealerships, on the Infotec site or in the

servicing booklet enclosed in the handbook

pack.

If you have to remove/refit the engine

style cover, handle it with care to avoid

damaging the fixing clips.

Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up between

changes. The maximum consumption is 0.5 litre

per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,

engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick
There are two marks on the

dipstick:

A = maximum

If you fill past this mark,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

B = minimum

Never allow the level to fall

below this mark.

To maintain the reliability

of engines and emission

control systems, the use of additives in

engine oil is prohibited.

Oil change

It is imperative that this is carried out at the

intervals speciﬁed and the viscosity grade of

the oil selected must fulﬁl the requirements

in accordance with the manufacturer’s

servicing schedule. Consult the instructions at

PEUGEOT dealerships or on the Infotec site.

Remove the dipstick before filling.

For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel

supplied when filling via the sump opening.

Check the level after filling (never exceed

the max mark).

Screw the cap back onto the sump before

closing the bonnet.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the

manufacturer’s requirements.

Changing the brake fluid

The brake fluid must be changed at

the intervals stated, according to the

manufacturer’s servicing schedule.

Use fluids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards.

The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the reservoir.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this

indicates a failure which must be checked by

a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Warning lights

Checking by means of the warning lights on

the instrument panel is described in chapter 2,

refer to the "Instruments and controls" section.

Levels

Cooling system

Only use the fluid recommended by the

manufacturer.

Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your

engine.

When the engine is warm, the temperature

of the coolant is controlled by the engine

fan. As this fan can operate 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 1/4 of a turn to release

the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.

When the pressure has dropped, remove the

cap and top up the level with coolant.

If fluid has to be added frequently, this

indicates a failure which must be checked by

a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and

MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If

more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top

up the level, have the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground

with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap

integrated with the gauge and check the

level which must be between the MIN and

MAX marks.

Windscreen wash and headlamp

wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your safety,

we would advise that you use products of

the PEUGEOT Universal range.

Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:

approximately 4.5 litres.

If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp

washers, the capacity of the reservoir is

7.5 litres.

Diesel additive level (Diesel

with particle emission filter)

The minimum level of this additive

is indicated by lighting of the

service warning light, accompanied by

an audible signal and a message on the

display.

Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped up

by a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.

Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with the

skin.

Brake fluid is harmful to health and very

corrosive.

Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or

coolant into drains or into the ground but

into the containers dedicated to this use at

PEUGEOT dealerships.

Checks

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery

checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of

driving, in particular for vehicles which are

used in town, over short distances.

It may be necessary to check the thickness

of the pads, even between services.

Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a drop

in the brake fluid level indicates that the

brake pads are worn.

Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking

the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too great

or there is a reduction in the performance

of the system, the handbrake should be

adjusted, even between services.

Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance

with the servicing schedule.

Air filter and passenger

compartment filter

If the passenger compartment filter becomes

clogged, this may reduce the performance

of the air conditioning system and generate

unpleasant odours.

Refer to the servicing booklet to find out the

replacement interval for these components.

Depending on the environment (dusty

atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle

(urban driving...), change them twice as

often if necessary, refer to the "Under the

bonnet" section of chapter 7.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that particle emission filter

maintenance is carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

On acceleration after the vehicle has been

running for a prolonged period at very low

speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional

circumstances, notice the emission of water

vapour at the exhaust.

This water vapour does not have any

adverse effect on vehicle handling or the

environment.

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with

the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and certain

components, in accordance with the

manufacturer’s servicing schedule, refer

to the pages of the servicing booklet which

correspond to your vehicle’s engine.

Only use products recommended by

PEUGEOT or products of equivalent

quality and characteristics.

In order to optimise the operation of units as

important as the braking circuit, PEUGEOT

selects and offers specific products.

In order to avoid damaging the electrical

units, high pressure washing of the engine

compartment is strictly prohibited.

Checks

Bleeding the water contained in

the diesel filter

If this warning light comes on,

bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed

regularly each time the engine is

drained.

To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed

screw located on the filter.

Operate until all of the water in the

transparent pipe has been drained out

then tighten the bleed screw.

HDi engines use advanced technology.

All work requires a special qualification

which is guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.

1.6 litre HDi

FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level

When the needle is at the start of

the red zone, the minimum fuel

tank level is reached when this

warning light comes on.

At this moment, you have

approximately

8 litres of fuel remaining. Fill up without

delay to avoid running out of fuel.

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED

In a serious collision, a mechanism

automatically prevents fuel from reaching

the engine.

The flashing of this warning light

is accompanied by a message on

the display.

Check that there is no odour or leakage of

fuel outside the vehicle and re-establish the

fuel supply:

- switch off the ignition (STOP

position).

- remove the key.

- put the key back in the ignition.

- switch on the ignition and start.

The fuel tank must be filled

with the engine

off.

When filling with fuel, do not open the

left-hand side door, if fitted on your

vehicle, as there is a risk of damage to the

fuel filler flap.

- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Insert the key, then turn it a quarter turn.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the clip

located on the inside of the flap.

A label affixed to the inside of the flap

reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.

When filling the fuel tank, do not continue

after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could

cause malfunctions.

The capacity of the fuel tank is

approximately

80 litres.

- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and

close the flap.
