SAFETY
110
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.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags *
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the infl ation of the
lateral airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nea rer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags *
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag infl ates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the ro of, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
* According to country.
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned above are observed, a risk of
injury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is trig-
gered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the
bag infl ates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas via
the openings provided for this pur-
pose.

Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can engage position P or N to place the
gearbox in neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake
to immobilise the vehicle. Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the
lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, indicates a gearbox
malfunction.
In this case, the gearbox switches to
back-up mode and is locked in 3rd gear.
You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R .
This will not cause any damage to the
gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the movement of the gear lever from the P posi-
tion to another position when
the battery is fl at.
To reduce fuel consumption when
at a prolonged standstill with the
engine running (traffi c jam...), put
the gear lever in the N position and
apply the parking brake.
Manual operation

 Select position M for sequential
changing of the four gears.

 Push the lever towards the + sign to
change up a gear.

 Pull the lever towards the - sign to
change down a gear.

D disappears and the gears
engaged appear in succes-
sion on the instrument panel.
In the event of the engine la-
bouring or over-revving, the
gear selected fl ashes for a few sec-
onds, then the actual gear engaged is
displayed.
It is possible to change from position D
(automatic) to position M (manual) at
any time.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox selects gear M1
automatically.
The sport and snow programmes do not
operate in manual mode. If the lever is not in position
P ,
when the driver's door is opened
or approximately 45 seconds after
the ignition is switched off, a mes-
sage appears in the multifunction
screen.

 Return the lever to position P ;
the message disappears.
It is only possible to change from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed permit; otherwise, the
gearbox will operate temporarily in au-
tomatic mode.
Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selec-
tor between two positions).

Avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids
into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to an authorised
waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive is in-
dicated by lighting of the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Used products
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the Warranty and Maintenance Record
and in relation to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "Practical information" sec-
tion for details of the precautions to be
taken before disconnecting the battery
and following its reconnection.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for de-
tails of the replacement inter-
vals for these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (dusty atmosphere...) and the use
of the vehicle (city driving...), replace
them twice as often if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may have an adverse effect on the per-
formance of the air conditioning system
and generate undesirable odours. Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that the maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the Warranty and
Maintenance Record for details
of the replacement interval for
this component.
Following prolonged operation of
the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, exceptionally, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the vehicle or on
the environment.
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a
PEUGEOT dealer without delay.

* The bicycle carrier cannot be attached to your vehicle's tailgate.
TOWBAR 207 99G
Towbar suitable only for the attachment
of a bicycle carrier * .
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
We recommend that you do not
drive up onto high kerbs (risk of
damaging your vehicle). Driving advice
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.

i
156
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
