SIDE AIR BAGS* AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS*
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag
inflates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers. If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-
tem checked. The air bags may no
longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.
* According to version.
Disarming (check)
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
The curtain air bag inflates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm
the passenger air bag when you
install a "rear-facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were to inflate.
 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 switch
in this position.
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 switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact. Air bags malfunction

85Safety-
For the front, side* and
curtain* 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 ham-
per the operation of the air bags or
injure the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried
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.
Curtain air bags*
Do not fix or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag inflates.
The triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system. This smoke is not
harmful but sensitive individuals
may experience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered cannot
be ruled out. Indeed, the bag infla-
tes almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then deflates wi-
thin the same time discharging hot
gas via the openings provided for
this purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not inflate.
* According to version.
Side air bags*
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-
flation of the side air bags. 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 ne-
cessary.

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
tongue into the buckle.
 Check that the seat belt is fas-
tened correctly by pulling the
strap.
To unfasten the seat belts
 Press the button on the buckle.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fitted with three
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
Driver's seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning light
The warning light comes on
each time the ignition is swit-
ched on.
It remains on until the driver fastens
his seat belt.
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning
light flashes for two minutes accom-
panied by an increasingly audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function display. Once these two mi-
nutes have elapsed, the warning light
remains lit until the driver"s seat belt
is fastened.
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 ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.

87Safety-
Wherever you are seated
in the vehicle, always fas-
ten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil
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 fitted with an
inertia 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 fitted with an
automatic locking device which co-
mes 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 modified 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 pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- 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
seriousness of the impacts , the
pre-tensioning device may be trig-
gered before and independently of
the air bags. Triggering of the pre-
tensioners is accompanied by a
slight emission of harmless smoke
and a noise, due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incorpo-
rated in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if ne-
cessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-
mum 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.
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.
Brake fluid level:
The brake fluid must be changed ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s servic-
ing 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.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake flu-
id 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 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.
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.
For vehicles equipped with a
particle filter, the engine fan may
operate after the ignition has
been switched off, even when the
engine is cold.
Power steering reservoir
 Open the reservoir, with the en-
gine 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.

CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by 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.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
To ensure best performance from
components as important as the
power steering and the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers quite specific products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is nec-
essary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five li- tres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears
in the transparent pipe under the
bonnet,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
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.
Disc wear status
For any information relating to check-
ing the disc wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice
as often.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with
the manufacturer’s servicing sched-
ule.
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.
