SEAT BELTS
Front seat belts
The front seats, driver’s seat, one-
seat passenger seat and side seat of
the passenger bench seat, are fitted
with pre-tensioners and force limit-
ers.
Height adjustment:

to lower the hooking point: press
and slide the control 1 down-
wards,
 to raise the hooking point: slide
the control 1 upwards. Front seat belts with pre-
tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of frontal impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning seat belts with
force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt on the body
of the occupant in the event of an
accident.
The front centre seat of the two-seat
passenger bench seat is fitted with
an integral three-point inertia reel
seat belt.
Locking:

pull the strap, then insert the end
into the buckle,
 check that it is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
2nd row rear side seat belts
The rear side seats of the three seat
bench seat are each fitted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
2nd row rear centre seat belt
The rear centre seat of the three seat
bench seat has an integral three-
point inertia reel seat belt.
The passenger must use the raised
buckle, located between the driver’s
seat and the centre seat, to attach
his seat belt.

44 -Seats and bench seats
Wherever you are seated
in the vehicle, always fas-
ten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fitted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision or emergency braking.
You can release the device by pulling
rapidly on the strap and releasing it.
* According to model.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to se- cure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it
does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modi- fied to avoid altering its perform-
ance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly, or if the straps show signs of
damage, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT’s main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- since 1992, and in accordance with
Directive 2000/3, all children un-
der the age of 12 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 transpor-
tation 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 chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the age
of 2,
-
"forwards-facing" over the age of 2.
INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT
USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle’s seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger air bag armed**.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** According to model.
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , it is essential that the passen-
ger air bag** is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate .

CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT
PEUGEOT offers a complete range of recommended child seats which are
secured using a three point seat belt :
Group 0: from birth to 10 kg
Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg
L1
"BRITAX
Babysure"
(E11 0344117) Installed in
the rear-facing position. L2

"ROMER
Baby-Safe"
(E1 03301146) Installed in
the rear-facing position.
Groups 1, 2 and 3: from 9 to 36 kg L3
"KIDDY Life"
(E1 03301135)
For the safety of young children (from 9 to 18 kg), PEUGEOT recommends use of the restraining cushion.
Groups 2 and 3: from 15 to 36 kg
L4
"RECARO Start’’ (E1 03301108).
L5
"KLIPPAN Optima" (E17 030007) From the age of 6 years
(approximately
22 kg), the booster is used on its own.
The child seats function
is shared by the entire
PEUGEOT range. How-
ever, each individual model
has its own special fea-
tures. On the Expert, the passenger
air bag disarming switch is not avail-
able and therefore a "rearwards-
facing" child seat MUST NOT be
fitted on the front passenger seat.

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 "for-
ward 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.
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.
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"*.
Take care not to open the rear
windows by more than one third*.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the
rear windows.
* According to version.
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, fit-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.

THE KEYS
The keys allow you to switch on the
ignition and to independently operate
the locks on the doors and the fuel
tank cap.
Central locking
From one of the two front doors, the
keys allow you to lock and unlock the
front, side and rear doors. If one of
the doors is open, the central locking
does not work.
The remote control performs the
same functions at a distance.
Changing the battery of the
remote control
If the direction indicators do not
come on when the button is pressed,
change the battery.
To do this, remove the screw and un-
clip the casing using a coin at the ring
(CR 1620/3 volt battery).
If the remote control does not work
after the battery has been changed,
reprogramme the remote control.

ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control sys-
tem as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore prevents
starting of the vehicle by anyone who
does not have the key.
The ignition key has an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, the code must
be recognised for the vehicle to start.
CONFIDENTIAL CARD
This is given to you on delivery of
your vehicle with the duplicate keys.
It contains the identification code
necessary for any work carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer on the elec-
tronic immobiliser system. This code
is hidden by a film, which should be
removed only if necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place,
never inside the vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or jour-
ney, however, it is advisable to take
it with you along with your personal
papers. Make a careful note of the
number of each key. This
number is coded on the la-
bel attached to the key.
If the keys are lost, your
PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply
you with new keys.
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the vehi-
cle, without you being aware of it.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition, even
when the ignition is switched off,
except for reprogramming.
Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range of
your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would
have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand ve-
hicle:
- ensure that you are given the confi-
dential card;
- have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system.
If the system does not function cor-
rectly , the electronic engine immobi-
liser warning light, situated in the centre
of the fascia, flashes rapidly when the
ignition is switched on (2nd notch). In
this case your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
