CRUISE CONTROL Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed program-
med by the driver, regardless of theroad characteristics and without thedriver having to touch the acceleratoror brake pedals. In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater thanapproximately 25 mph (40 km/h) andfourth or fifth gear must be engaged. The cruise control controls are loca- ted on the steering wheel. Operation ☞Press control A(ON position).
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Press control D(OFF position) to
cancel. Memorising a speed As soon as you reach the chosen speed, press control
Bor C. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. Note : It is possible to accelerate
momentarily without disarming the cruise control. Cancelling the memorised speed If you wish to cancel the memorised speed: ☞ press button Dor the brake or
clutch pedal. Recalling the memorised speed After cancellation, press button
E.
Y our vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed. Changing a memorised speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one: ☞ press button B;

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. 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 passen-ger air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on on the instrument panel,
contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system chec-ked. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To
ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas- senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. ☞ Remove the ignition key, insert it into the passenger air bag switch1located between the two front
seats and turn it to the "OFF"
position.
☞ The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throughoutthe disarming process.

For the front and side* air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
¥W
ear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
¥ Sit in a normal upright position.
¥ Do not leave anything between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags (a child, pet, object). This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.
¥ All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT net- work.
¥ After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.
¥ The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered.
For greater safety, have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer within 10 years following the purchase of the vehicle.
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; deployment 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.
Side air bags*¥ Only put approved covers on the front seats. 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 necessary.
* According to destination.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION143
CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level ☞ Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi-mum consumption is 0.5 l per1000 km. Check the level with the vehicle level, engine cold, using the dips-tick.
Dipstick
There are two marks onthe dipstick: A= maximum.
Never fill past this mark.B = minimum.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission control systems, the useof additives in engine oilis prohibited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
W ARNING: avoid used oil from
coming into prolonged contact withthe skin.
V iscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments. Brake fluid level: - the level must always be between the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
- if the level drops substantially,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change: - must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing sche-dule.
- use fluids approved by the manu-
facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan-dards.
W ARNING: brake fluid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid allcontact with the skin. Cooling system Use the fluid approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan canoperate with the ignition key remo-ved and because the cooling systemis pressurised, wait for at least onehour after the engine has stoppedbefore carrying out any work. Slacken the cap to the first notch torelease the pressure to prevent anyrisk of scalding. When the pressurehas dropped, remove the cap andtop up the level. Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed. Used oil Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant into drains or into theground. Power steering reservoir ☞ Open the reservoir, with the engi-
ne at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN. mark and close to the MAX.mark.
W indscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(7.5 litres with headlamp wash).

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter and pollen filter Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular forvehicles which are used in town,over short distances. It may benecessary to check the thickness ofthe pads, even between services. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
Fuel supply cut-off In a serious collision, a system pre- vents fuel from reaching the engine.
To
re-establish the fuel supply, press
the switch on the angle of the front
left-hand suspension assembly,under the bonnet.
