Disarming the passenger air bag
Refer to the "MODE" section of chapter 4,
then on the "Passenger air bag"
menu, select OFF.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel comes on
throughout the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to disarm the passenger air bag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing
child seat. When
OFF is selected, the passenger air bag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure the safety of your passenger in the
event of an impact.
Disarming check

this warning light each time the
engine is started.If your vehicle is fitted
with this display, the
check is accompanied by
a message. Side air bags and
curtain air bags
If your vehicle is fitted with side air bags,
these are incorporated into the front seat
backs on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated into
the door pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment, in the roof over the
front cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.

SAFETY
Air bags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, side
and curtain air bags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked. 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 is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.Curtain air bags
Do not fix or glue anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain air bag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain air bags.

Chapter 4, "MODE"
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 seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate . "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front pas-
senger seat , leave the passen-
ger air bag armed.
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.

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 "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. 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" if fitted on your vehicle.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third if fitted on your vehicle. To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
For more information about weights, refer to
the administrative documents (V5 registra-
tion document, ...).
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral. Distribution of loads:
distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
