CHILD SAFETY
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO
CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT’s main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- in accordance with Directive 2003/20, all
children under the age of 12 or less than
one metre fifty tall must travel in approved
child seats suited to their weight, on seats
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children are the
rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in
the front and in the rear.
PEUGEOT recommends that children should
travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the age of 2. "Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger air bag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger air bag armed.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
Intermediate longitudinal position
If your vehicle is fitted with a passenger seat
with longitudinal adjustment, adjust it to the
intermediate longitudinal position, seat back
upright.
The rules for transporting children are
specific to each country. Consult the current
legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger air bag and the
disarming of this air bag depend on the
version sold.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
These seats are fitted with ISOFIX
mountings.
These are two rings located between the
seat back and the seat cushion.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
locks which are secured easily on these
rings.
This ISOFIX mounting system guarantees
reliable, safe and fast fitting of the child seat
in your vehicle.

ISOFIX CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE
These child seats can also be used on seats which are not fitted with ISOFIX mountings. In this case, it is essential that they are secured to
the vehicle’s seat by means of the three point seat belt.
Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat indicated in the seat manufacturer’s installation guide.

Child safety
146ADVICE ON CHILD SEATSOtherwise, 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" if fitted on your vehicle.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third if fitted on your vehicle.
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 "forward
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 removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached 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.
If fitted on your vehicle, disarm the
passenger air bag when a "rear facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
CHILD MONITORING MIRROR
This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to retract
into its housing in the roof, it provides a
panoramic view of the rear interior of the
vehicle.

Towing a trailer

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Refer to the administrative documents
(V5, ...) or to the Petrol or Diesel
"Dimensions, weights and towed loads"
section of chapter 9.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral. Distribution of loads:
distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest loads are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose
weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
Dimension A =
0.96 m

Towing a trailer
148
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been tested
for endurance from the design stage of your
vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fitted in
accordance with the manufacturer ’s
instructions, with particular attention to the
towing capacities of your vehicle, the load
towed, the nose weight and the electrical
connection. As this fitting should be carried
out by a professional, we recommend that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
In accordance with the general instructions
referred to above, we draw your attention
to the risk connected with fitting a towbar
or other electrical accessory which is not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
Fitting such equipment could result in a
failure of your vehicle’s electronic system.

Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer first for
further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this system
automatically corrects the height of the
beam, whatever the load of the vehicle. The
driver is then assured of having optimum
lighting and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up
a steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In this
case, cutting off the air conditioning allows
the engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be significantly
increased (approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the gearbox
may also become unavailable.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to dazzle
other road users. Check the electrical
signalling of the trailer.
Bicycle carrier
If you fit a bicycle carrier on the
tailgate, deactivate the rear wiper
from the display’s configuration
menu.
Refer to the "Identification features"
section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel controls"
section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to the
"Changing a fuse" section of chapter 8.

Roof bars

USING ROOF BARS
To use the transverse roof bars, release the
four locking levers provided for this purpose.
From the left-hand side, slide them in their
rails to the required notch.
Lock the four locking levers located at the
base of the feet of each bar.
When the roof bars are not in use,
position them at the rear stop to avoid
excess consumption.
Use accessories recommended by
Automobiles PEUGEOT and follow the fitting
instructions in the manual provided by the
manufacturer of the load-carrying roof bars.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof
rack: 220 lbs. (100 kg) Removal and refitting of the roof
bars
- Remove the bolt, the stop and the two
washers at each location A.
- Move the bars to the locations A.
- Lift the two bars to remove them.
- Imperative: refit the bolt, the stop and the
two washers at each location A.
To refit, proceed in the reverse order.
