Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items the 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, etc.). Preferably, use
a roof box.
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:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule. When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop as soon as possible to
bring your vehicle's nitrogen oxides emissions
back in line with the regulations.

General recommendations
for the seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests must
only be done with the vehicle stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no object or person in
the way, preventing full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if they are in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat. Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a
table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event
of sudden braking or a collision.
-
D
o not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside
the vehicle.
-
C
heck that the seat belts always
remain accessible to the passenger
and easy to fasten.
-
P
assengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their
seat belt.
- I n row 3, be careful not to leave your
feet under the row 2
seat while it is
being tilted.
-

W
hen a row 3 seat is in the fully
folded position, ensure that the strap
is correctly hooked to the Top Tether
fixing of the row 2
backrest: risk of
unexpected tipping of the seat.
Before carrying out the manoeuvres, check
that nothing and no one is obstructing the
moving elements and their locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to
hold the backrest and support it until it is
horizontal.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards
or upwards, you could get your fingers
trapped. Place your hand on the grip/strap
(depending on equipment) at the top of the
seat cushion.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking
or an impact.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
for ward – risk of severe injury!

Curtain airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
c ontributes towards greater protection for the
driver and passengers (with the exception of
the central seats) 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
The airbags are deployed on one side in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
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 is deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal and upright sitting
position.
Wear a
correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory; this could cause injuries during
their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a
few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose. 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a


part in securing the curtain airbags.

Safety

106
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral 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!
Such work must only be done by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.General points relating to
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 obser ve the
