the touch screen, this system automatically

switches between dipped and main beam

headlamps, according to lighting and traffic

conditions, using a camera located at the top of

the windscreen.

Lighting and visibility

This system is a driving aid.

The driver remains responsible for

the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the

prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,

and for compliance with driving and vehicle

regulations.

The system becomes operational when

the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).

When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),

the function is no longer operational.

Activation/Deactivation

It is configured in the

Settings > Vehicle

touch screen application.

The state of the system is stored when the

ignition is switched off.

Peugeot Matrix LED

Technology 2.0

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations for

automatic lighting systems

Available only on versions equipped with Full

LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.

This system automatically adapts the main

beam according to the driving conditions, so that

optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,

without causing a nuisance to other road users.

Lighting and visibility

The driver remains responsible for the

vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the

prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,

and for compliance with driving and vehicle

regulations.

The system is active from 25 mph

(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph

(20 km/h).

Activation/Deactivation

► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in

the “

AUTO

” position.

This indicator lamp comes on in the

instrument panel.

The state of the system is stored when the

ignition is switched off.

When deactivated, the lighting system changes

to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

It is recommended that you deactivate

the function in foggy or snowy conditions

or in case of heavy mist.

The function temporarily is deactivated when

the system detects thick fog or when the

foglamps are switched on manually. This is

signalled by the indicator lamp going off on

the instrument panel.

Operation

Using a camera, the system detects the driving

conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or

followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the

beams of the main headlamps accordingly.

The modules that make up the main beams

switch on and off gradually, segment by

segment, depending on the driving conditions

detected.

Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon

as the vehicle is no longer detected by the

system.

If the system is selected but the display

on the instrument panel and the alerts are

not available, the indicator lamp comes on in

grey.

Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only

those lamp segments directed at the followed

vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as

not to dazzle its driver.

Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only

those lamp segments directed at this vehicle

go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the

duration of the approach.

Entering an illuminated area

At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a

town), the lamp segments are gradually switched

off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to

switch to the dipped beams.

Exiting an illuminated area

The lamp segments gradually light up from the

inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the

main beams.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

► Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps

manually to pause the function.

The windscreen wash jets are

incorporated into the tip of each wiper

arm.

An additional jet is installed below the

midpoint of the arm on the driver's side.

Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length

of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and

reduces screenwash fluid consumption.

With automatic air conditioning, any

action on the screenwash control results

in temporary closure of the air intake to

protect the passenger compartment from any

odour.

To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do

not operate the screenwash if the

screenwash reservoir is empty.

Only operate the screenwash if there is no

risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen

and hindering visibility. During the winter

period, use "very cold climate" rated products.

Never top up with water.

If the ignition has been switched off with

the rear wiper active, operate the ring to

reactivate wiping when the ignition is switched

on again (unless the ignition was off for less

than 1 minute).

The first rotation of the ring to the screenwash

position triggers a single wipe. If the ring is

then left in the intermittent wiping position, the

rear wiper adopts a wiping speed dependent

on that of the windscreen wipers and the

speed of the vehicle.

Reverse

When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper

will come into operation automatically if the front

windscreen wipers are operating.

It is configured in the

Settings > Vehicle

touch screen application.

With reverse gear engaged, the washing

of the reversing camera is triggered by

clicking on this button in the right side menu of

the touch screen.

Front intermittent wiping

In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the

wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the

5 available positions.

The first (upper) position corresponds to the

longest time interval between 2 wipes for light

rain.

The last (lower) position corresponds to the

shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy

rain.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a

lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.

After the ignition has been switched off

for more than 1 minute with the wiper

control stalk in the

INT

position, when

the ignition is switched on again:

– the system works as soon as the vehicle

exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside

temperature is below +3°C.

– the system works immediately, if the

outside temperature is above +3°C.

Automatic windscreen

wipers

AUTO

mode, the front wipers work

automatically and adapt to the intensity of

precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the

sensor selected.

The rainfall detection function uses a rain/

sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the

windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.

In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,

frost, snow, projections on salty roads),

the driver may have to return to manual

wiping.

Switching on/off

To switch on:

► Put the wiper control stalk in the

AUTO

position.

► Turn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the

sensor.

A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of

a message, confirms that the request has been

Adjusting the sensitivity

The first position (upper) corresponds to the

lowest sensitivity of the sensor.

The last position (lower) corresponds to the

highest sensitivity of the sensor.

The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system

reacts and increases the wiping frequency.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a

lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.

After the ignition has been switched off

for more than 1 minute with the wiper

control stalk in the

AUTO

position, when the

ignition is switched on again:

– the system works, depending on the

volume of rain detected, as soon as the

vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the

outside temperature is below +3°C.

– the system works immediately, depending

on the volume of rain detected, if the outside

temperature is above +3°C.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.

Event Data Recording

system

(Depending on country of sale)

This vehicle is fitted with an accident data

recording system, also called Event Data

Recorder (EDR).

This system gathers and records certain vehicle

data over a short period (a few seconds) before,

during and after an event such as an accident or

collision.

In order to gain a better understanding of the

circumstances surrounding the event, this

system records how the vehicle’s various

systems are operating at the time of the event,

including:

– Any deployment of a restraint system

(e.g. airbag, seat belt).

– The status of the seat belts of all the

occupants (fastened/unfastened).

– The contact or intensity of pressure exerted on

the pedal(s) engaged by the driver.

– The speed of the vehicle.

– The status of some driving and manoeuvring

aids systems.

The following are not recorded by the system:

– Data on normal driving conditions, in other

words data not directly related to the event.

– Personal data on the driver and any other

occupants.

– The geographical location of the vehicle at the

time of the event.

The reading of data recorded by the system

requires the following:

– Access to the interior of the vehicle or to the

system.

And

– Special equipment that can be purchased from

the manufacturer BOSCH (www.BoschCDRTool.

com).

Aside from the vehicle Manufacturer, other

Safety

Electronic stability control

(ESC)

The electronic stability control programme

includes the following systems:

– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic

brake force distribution (EBFD).

– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

– Post Collision Safety Brake (PCSB).

– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

– Dynamic stability control (DSC).

– Trailer stability assist (TSA).

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS)/Electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability

and handling during braking, and enable greater

control while cornering, particularly on poor or

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of

emergency braking.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)

manages overall braking pressure on each

individual wheel.

►

When braking in an emergency, depress

the pedal very firmly and maintain this

pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

The fixed illumination of this warning lamp

signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive

carefully at a moderate speed.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

This warning lamp, when lit together with

the

STOP

and ABS warning lamps,

accompanied by a message and an audible

signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.

You must stop the vehicle.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off

the ignition.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

After an impact

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Emergency braking

assistance (EBA)

This system reduces the emergency stopping

distance, by optimising the braking pressure.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which

the brake pedal is depressed. The effect of this

is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and

an increase in braking efficiency.

Post Collision Safety Brake

(PCSB)

If an accident is detected, the vehicle initiates

automatic post collision braking. The goal of this

system is to reduce the risk of further collisions if

the driver does not react.

The system is not operational if the capability of

the vehicle to trigger and execute the automatic

post collision braking is not available, as it can

occur in destructive accidents or in other specific

accident scenarios.

It is possible to override the automatic braking by

pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.

Operating conditions

The system operates, if the following conditions

are met:

– Airbags or pyrotechnic seat belt pretensioners

have been deployed by the collision.

– Braking systems and electric functions remain

continuously operational during and after

collision.

– Driver has not depressed the brake or

accelerator pedal.

Malfunction

In the event of a

malfunction, one of these

warning lamps will come on fixed on the

instrument panel, accompanied by the Service

warning lamp, the display of a message and an

audible signal.

Safety

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/

Dynamic stability control

(DSC)

Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises

traction by using engine braking and by applying

the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the

vehicle's directional stability.

If there is a difference between the vehicle’s

trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the

dynamic stability control system automatically

uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired

path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

These systems are activated automatically every

time the vehicle is started.

These systems are activated in the event

of a problem with grip or trajectory

(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the

instrument panel).

Deactivation/Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (e.g. moving a vehicle

that is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on

loose soil), it may prove useful to deactivate the

DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

Reactivate the system as soon as the level of

grip permits.

The ASR system is deactivated/

reactivated in the

ADAS

touch screen

application.

Deactivation/reactivation of the ASR

system is indicated by this indicator lamp

on the instrument panel coming on/going out and

the display of a message.

The ASR system is automatically reactivated

every time the ignition is switched off or at

speeds over 31 mph (50 km/h)

Reactivation is manual below 31 mph (50 km/h).

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and

an audible signal.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

ASR/DSC

These systems enhance safety during

normal driving, but should not encourage

the driver to take extra risks or drive at high

speed.

It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,

ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It

is therefore important for your safety to keep

these systems activated in all conditions, and

particularly in difficult conditions.

Correct operation of these systems depends

on compliance with the manufacturer's

recommendations relating to the wheels

(tyres and rims), braking and electronic

components, as well as the assembly and

repair procedures provided by PEUGEOT

dealers.

In order to ensure that these systems remain

effective in wintry conditions, the use of snow

or all-season tyres is recommended. All four

wheels must be fitted with tyres approved for

your vehicle.

All tyre specifications are listed on the

tyre/paint label. For more information

Identification markings

, refer to the

corresponding section.

Trailer stability assist (TSA)

When towing, this system reduces the risk of the

vehicle or trailer snaking.

Operation

The system is activated automatically when the

ignition is switched on.

The electronic stability control system (ESC)

must not have any faults.

The vehicle speed must be between 37 and 99

mph (60 and 160 km/h).

If the system detects that the trailer is

snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise

the trailer and reduces engine power, if

necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the

flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument

panel and the brake lamps coming on).

Safety

For more information on weights and towed

loads, refer to the

Engine technical data

and towed loads

section or your vehicle’s

registration certificate.

To ensure safe driving with a

Towing device

refer to the corresponding section.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs, this warning lamp lights

up on the instrument panel, accompanied

by a message and an audible signal.

To continue towing a trailer, reduce speed and

drive carefully!

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The trailer stability control system

provides an extra safety feature under

normal driving conditions, when following the

recommendations for use of trailers and

current legislation in force in your country. It

must not encourage the driver to take extra

risks, such as using a trailer in unsuitable

conditions of operation (e.g. excessive load,

exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inflated

tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at

excessive speed.

In certain cases, the system may not detect

trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the

system may not be able to prevent sudden

trailer snaking.

Seat belts

Inertia reel

The seat belts are equipped with an inertia

reel which allows the strap length to adjust

automatically to the shape of the user. The seat

belt returns to its storage automatically when it

is not used.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device which

automatically locks the strap in the event of a

collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls

over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly

and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Pyrotechnic pretensioning

This system improves safety in the event of a

frontal or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly

tightens the seat belts against the body of the

occupants.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are

enabled when the ignition is on.

Progressive force limiting system

This system reduces the pressure of the seat

belt on the chest of the occupant, taking their

stature into account, thus improving their

protection.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic

device may trigger before and independently

of airbag deployment. Deployment 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.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes

on.

Following an impact, have the seat belt

system checked, and if necessary replaced,

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic

pretensioning system and a progressive force

limiting system.

Rear seat belts

Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt

with inertia reel.

The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic

pretensioning and force limiting system.

Safety

Fastening

► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the

buckle.

► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly

by pulling on the strap.

Unfastening

► Press the red button on the buckle.

soon as the system detects that a seat belt is not

fastened or has been unfastened.

Front seat belt not fastened alert

When the ignition is switched on, if the

driver or front passenger has not fastened their

seat belt, the corresponding warning lamp (

) comes on in red. At a speed greater than 12

mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp flashes red,

accompanied by an audible signal for around 2

minutes. After this time has elapsed, the warning

lamp remains on fixed in red until the seat belt is

fastened.

Rear seat belt not fastened alert

When the ignition is switched on, if one of

the rear passengers has not fastened their seat

belt, the corresponding warning lamp (

)

comes on in red for 1 minute.

Seat belt unfastened alert

After the ignition is switched on, if the

driver or a passenger unfastens their seat belt,

the corresponding warning lamp (

) comes on in red. At a speed greater than

12 mph (20 km/h), the warning lamp flashes,

accompanied by an audible signal for around 2

minutes. After this time has elapsed, the warning

lamp remains on until the seat belt has been

fastened again.

With the ignition on, if the driver or a

passenger fastens their seat belt, the

corresponding warning lamp (

)

comes on in green on the display.

With the ignition on, if one of the front or

rear passenger seats is detected as being

unoccupied, the corresponding warning lamp (

) comes on in grey on the display.

When there are no longer any not fastened/

unfastened alerts, the green or grey warning

lamps remain on for around 30 seconds, then

go off.

Advice

The driver must ensure that passengers

use the seat belts correctly and that they

are all fastened before setting off.

Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must

always fasten the seat belt, even for short

journeys.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they

will not fulfil their role properly.

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the

seat belt may require the seat height to be

adjusted.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

Safety

– be tightened as close to the body as

possible.

– be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

– only be used to secure one person.

– not show signs of tearing or fraying.

– not be changed or modified, in order to

avoid affecting its performance.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5

metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on

Child seats

, refer to

the corresponding section.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

Airbags

General information

This system is designed to improve the safety

of the occupants of the front seats and the rear

outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The

airbags supplement the action of the seat belts

equipped with a force limiting system.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts sustained in the impact

detection zones:

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a

second impact occurs (during the same or a

subsequent accident), the airbag will not be

deployed again.

Impact detection zones

Front impact zone

Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Safety

Front airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the

event of a violent front impact applied to all or

part of front impact zone

The front airbag inflates between the chest and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and

the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion

their forward movement.

* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

Curtain airbags

This system helps provide greater protection for

the driver and passengers (with the exception

of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a

serious side impact, in order to limit the risk of

injury to the side of the head.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side impact

zone

The curtain airbag inflates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,

these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop to have the

system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

Safety

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not fix or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Never modify the original definition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. 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.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Front airbags

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

dashboard.

Do not smoke 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.

Do not fix or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modification or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof.

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

seats suited to their size or weight

, on seats

fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

–

Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

–

Children ageing less than 15 months must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

Safety

It is recommended

that children travel

on the

rear seats

of the vehicle:

– "

rearward facing

" up to the age of 3.

– "

forward facing

" over the age of 3.

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in firm and steady contact

with the floor.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety 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 harness 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 vehicle seat. If

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint 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 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.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays,

fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

– A child alone and unsupervised inside 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.

Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing

► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front

seat.

► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact

with it.

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the

centre rear passenger seat

Safety

Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the

highest

and

fully back longitudinal position

with the backrest straightened

"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger

airbag active.

"Rearward facing"

The front passenger airbag must be

deactivated before installing a rearward

facing child seat. Otherwise,

the child risks

being seriously injured or killed if the

airbag is deployed

Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,

as reminded by the warning label on both sides

of the passenger sun visor:

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint

on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in

front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the

CHILD can occur.

Deactivating the front

passenger airbag

Passenger airbag OFF

To ensure the safety of the child, the front

passenger airbag MUST be deactivated

when a "rearward facing" child seat is

installed on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child risks being seriously

injured or killed in the event of deployment of

the airbag.

Vehicles not equipped with a

deactivation/reactivation control

Installing a "rearward facing" child seat on

the front passenger seat is strictly prohibited

- risk of death or serious injury in the event of

"ISOFIX" mountings

The seats shown below are fitted with ISOFIX

compliant mountings:

The mountings comprise three rings for each

seat, indicated by a marking:

– Two rings

, located between the vehicle seat

backrest and cushion.

These rings are located behind zips.

The 2 latches on

ISOFIX child seats

are

secured to them.

– One ring

, located behind the seat, called the

TOP TETHER

, for attaching seats fitted with an

upper strap.

This system prevents the child seat from tipping

forwards in the event of a front impact.

This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,

reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in the

vehicle.

To secure the child seat to the

TOP TETHER

► Remove and stow the head restraint before

installing the child seat on this seat (refit it once

the child seat has been removed).

► Pass the strap of the child seat behind the

seat backrest, centring it between the openings

for the head restraint rods.

► Secure the upper strap hook to ring

► Tighten the upper strap.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the

left-hand rear seat of the bench seat,

before fitting the seat, first move the centre

rear seat belt towards the middle of the

vehicle, so as to avoid the seat interfering

with the operation of the seat belt.

Safety

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety in

the event of an accident.

Strictly observe the fitting instructions

provided in the user guide supplied with the

child seat.

For information about the options for

fitting ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,

refer to the summary table.

i-Size child seats

anchored to the two rings

These i-Size child seats also have:

– either an upper strap that is attached to ring

– or a support leg that rests on the vehicle

floor, compatible with the approved i-Size seat

position.

Their role is to prevent the child seat from tipping

forward in the event of a collision.

For more information on the

ISOFIX mountings
