AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions; they
work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision,
the electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inlate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags delate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is suficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse*
To change to reverse gear, lift the
ring under the gear lever knob and
push the gear lever to the left then to
the front.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling. FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed.
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and a message on
the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
* According to engine.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
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
dipstick. There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never ill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note:
avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Brake luid change:
- must be carried out according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use luids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake luid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
* According to country.
Cooling system
Use the luid 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.
On vehicles itted with a particle
emission ilter, the fan may operate
after the engine has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
luid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
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.

Fuel supply cut-off
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
Oil ilter
Change the ilter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule.
CHECKS
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perform-
ance from components as
important as the power
steering and the braking system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers quite
speciic products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, avoid washing the engine. The lashing of this warning
light is accompanied by the
message
"Fuel circuit dis-
armed" on the multi-func-
tion display.
To re-establish the fuel supply:
F switch off the ignition.
F remove the key.
F check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi-
cle.
F put the key back in the ignition.
F switch on the ignition and start.
To check the main levels and
certain components, in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule, refer to the
pages of the servicing booklet
which correspond to your vehi-
cle's engine.
Air ilter and passenger
compartment ilter
Have the ilter elements replaced
regularly.
If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
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.
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.
Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil change.
Check the level in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Sensor(s) not detected
When the message 'X tyre pressure
sensor(s) missing' appears on the
multi-function display, accompanied
by an audible signal, this indicates
that under-inlation detection is ab-
sent from one (or several) tyre(s).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to re-
place the faulty sensor(s).
Note: this message is also displayed
when one of the tyres is away from
the vehicle (being repaired) or when
a wheel without a sensor is itted.TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving, and trigger a warning in
the event of a malfunction (speed
greater than 15 mph [25 km/h]). All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel itted with
this system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inlation detection
system is a driving aid which does
not take the place of vigilance or
the responsibility of the driver.
This system does not remove the
need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (including the
spare wheel), to ensure that the
dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid pre-
mature wear of the tyres, in particular
in the case of arduous driving (heavy
load, high speed).
The system may temporarily be
disturbed by radio broadcasts on a
frequency close to it.
Flat tyre
When the message
"Tyres delated"
appears on the multi-function display,
accompanied by an audible signal,
have the tyre pressure checked as
soon as possible.
Puncture
The message 'Punctured tyre(s)'
appears on the multi-function dis-
play, accompanied by an audible
signal and followed by illumination of
the 'STOP' warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged (punctured
or very delated) tyre, and have the
tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Note: if the damaged tyre is tempo-
rarily stored in the boot, it will again
emit this message to remind you of
the necessity of having it repaired.
This will prevent another warning of
the same type being displayed.
