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 "for-
ward 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 remo-
ved, ensure that it is stored or at-
tached 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.

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child’s protection in the event of an
accident.
For information regarding the
ISOFIX child seats which can be
installed in your vehicle, consult
the summary table for the location
of the ISOFIX child seats.
"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved in accor-
dance with the new ISOFIX regulation .
The seats*, represented below, are fit-
ted with regulation ISOFIX mountings: These are three rings for each seat:
- two lower rings
A, located between
the vehicle seat back and cushion,
- an upper ring B, referred to as the
TOP TETHER . This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-
tees you fast, reliable and safe fitting of
the child seat in your vehicle.
The
ISOFIX child seats are fitted with
two locks which are secured easily on
these lower rings A.
Some also have an upper strap which
is attached to the upper ring B.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle
seat’s head restraint then pass the hook
between its rods. Then fix the hook on
the upper ring B and tighten the upper
strap.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.All repairs and changing of tyres
on a wheel fitted with this system
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
by your vehicle (example: fitting
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
"Identification features" paragraph)
to ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to
that used by the system.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a
warning in the event of malfunction
(speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
This warning light comes on on the
instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display
locating the wheel concerned.

Check the tyre pressures as soon as
possible.
This check must be carried out when
the tyres are cold.
Flat tyre This warning light and the
STOP
warning light come on on the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the multi-function display
locating the wheel concerned.
 Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
 Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon
as possible.
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display locating the wheel
or wheels which are not detected or
indicating a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
This message is also displayed
when one of the wheels is away
from the vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fitted.
The spare wheel is not fitted with
a sensor.

BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS*
Group of supplementary systems which
help you to obtain optimum braking
in complete safety in emergency
situations:
- the anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- the electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- the emergency braking assistance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of your
vehicle when braking, in particular on
poor or slippery surfaces.
When braking in an emergency,
press very firmly without releasing
the pressure. When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, it indicates
a malfunction of the anti-lock braking
system which could result in loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning light comes on,
together with the STOP and ABS
warning lights, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display, it
indicates a malfunction of the electronic
brake force distribution which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables
you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing the
stopping distance.
* According to country.
Activation
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 vibration of the brake
pedal. Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase
in braking efficiency.
