HANDBRAKE

Lighting of this warning light,

while the vehicle is moving,

indicates that the handbrake

is still applied or has not been

released correctly.

When parking on a slope,

direct your wheels towards

the pavement and apply the

handbrake.

Only apply the handbrake when the

vehicle is stationary.

Illumination of this warning

light, accompanied by an

audible signal, indicates a

malfunction of the electron-

ic brake force distribution,

which can cause a loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to

immobilise your vehicle.

Releasing

Pull the handle and press the button

to release the handbrake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING

SYSTEM (ABS)

The ABS with Electronic Brake Force

Distribution (EBFD) increases the

stability and manoeuvrability of your

vehicle, particularly on poor or slip-

pery road surfaces.

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 ﬁrmly without releasing the

pressure.

Driving

On a steep descent, the

cruise control will not be

able to prevent the vehicle

from exceeding the pro-

grammed speed.

The cruise control cannot, in any

circumstances, replace the need to

observe speed limits or the need for

vigilance and responsibility on the

part of the driver.

Do not use cruise control on slippery

roads or in heavy trafﬁc.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control enables the vehicle

to maintain a steady speed pro-

grammed by the driver.

In order for it to be memorised,

the vehicle speed must be greater

than 25 mph (40 km/h) or 40 mph

(60 km/h), (according to engine), with

at least 4th gear engaged.

speed, which will be maintained au-

tomatically.

Note: it is possible to accelerate

momentarily without disarming the

cruise control.

Cancelling the memorised

speed

MANUAL GEARBOX

Reverse*

To change to reverse gear, lift the

ring under the gear lever knob and

push the gear lever to the left then to

the front.

Reverse gear can only be engaged

when the vehicle is stationary with

the engine idling.

* According to engine.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have

been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of serious collisions.

They work in conjunction with the

pretensioning seat belts with force

limiter.

The electronic detectors register and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-

old is reached, the air bags inﬂate in-

stantly and protect the occupants of

the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in the

case of minor collisions, for which the

seat belt is sufﬁcient to ensure maxi-

mum protection. The seriousness of

a collision depends on the nature of

the obstacle and the speed of the ve-

hicle at the moment of impact.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in

the fascia for the front passenger

(one seat). They are deployed simul-

taneously.

If this warning light comes

on on the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible

signal, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system

checked.

Front air bag fault

Driving

SIDE AIRBAGS*

These are incorporated into the

frame of the driver and front passen-

ger (one seat) seat back, on the door

side.

They are deployed independently

of each other depending on which

side the collision occurs, in collisions

which could cause injury to the chest,

the abdomen or the head.

This is conﬁrmed by an in-

dicator light on the instru-

ment panel.

It comes on for six sec-

onds, each time the ignition

is switched on.

Operating check

If the indicator light:

- does not light up when the ignition

is switched on, or

- does not go out after six seconds,

- ﬂashes for ﬁve minutes then stays

on,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

For the front and side* air

bags to be fully effective,

observe 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 operation

of the air bags or injure the occu-

pants.

• All work on the air bag systems is

strictly prohibited unless it is car-

ried out by qualiﬁed personnel of

the PEUGEOT network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken into,

have the air bag systems checked.

Front air bags

• Do not drive holding the steering

wheel by its spokes or resting your

hands on the centre part of the

wheel.

• Passengers must not place their

feet on the fascia.

• Smoke as little as possible; deploy-

ment 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.

* According to country.

Side air bags*

• Only put approved covers on the

front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT

dealer.

• Do not ﬁx or glue anything to the

front seat backs. This could cause

injury to the chest or arms when the

side air bag inﬂates.

• Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than

necessary.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up

between changes. The maximum

consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles

(1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,

engine cold, using the oil level gauge

on the instrument panel or the dip-

stick.

Dipstick

There are two marks on

the dipstick:

A = maximum

Never ﬁll 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.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin. Empty

the used oil into the containers intend-

ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT

network.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer’s require-

ments.

Brake ﬂuid change:

- must be carried out according to the

manufacturer’s servicing schedule.

- use ﬂuids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulﬁl DOT4

standards.

Note: brake ﬂuid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact

with the skin.

Cooling system

Use the ﬂuid 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.

Power steering reservoir

Open the reservoir, with the engine

at ambient temperature. The level

should always be above the MIN.

mark and close to the MAX. mark.

Windscreen and headlamp*

wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your

safety, we would advise that you use

products recommended by PEUGEOT.

* According to country.

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.

On vehicles ﬁtted with a particle

emission ﬁlter, the fan may operate

after the engine has been switched

off, even when the engine is cold.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake ﬂu-

id or coolant into drains or onto the

ground.

Practical information

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your bat-

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Air ﬁlter and passenger

compartment ﬁlter

Have the ﬁlter elements replaced

regularly.

If you drive in dusty con-

ditions, change them twice as of-

ten.

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.

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 accord-

ance with the servicing schedule.

Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil change.

Check the level in accordance with the

manufacturer’s servicing schedule.

To check the main levels and cer-

tain components, in accordance

with the manufacturer’s servicing

schedule, refer to the pages of

the servicing booklet which corre-

spond to your vehicle’s engine.

Only use products recom-

mended by PEUGEOT or

products of equivalent qual-

ity and speciﬁcations.

To ensure best perform-

ance from components as important

as the power steering and the brak-

ing system, PEUGEOT selects and

offers quite speciﬁc products.

To prevent damage to the electrical

units, avoid washing the engine.

- ﬁll the fuel tank with at least ﬁve li-

tres of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual

re-priming pump, under the bonnet

under the protective cover, until fuel

appears in the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine

starts.

To re-establish the fuel supply, press

the switch on the corner of the front

right-hand suspension assembly, un-

der the bonnet.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

(DIESEL)

FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF

(PETROL)

If you should run

out of fuel, it is

necessary to re-

prime the circuit:

In a serious collision,

a switch prevents fuel

from reaching the en-

gine.
