Additional heater
Vehicles which are fitted with an HDI
engine may be fitted with automatic
additional heating to improve your
comfort.

cle is stationary, it is quite normal to
notice a high-pitched whistling noise
and a slight emission of smoke and
odour.

This setting is recommended for high
temperatures.
Recirculation of interior air.
This position prevents exterior odours
and smoke entering the passenger

recirculation may result in misting of
the windows.

12 or less than one metre fifty

BELT
"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 . "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**.

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 se-
curely 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 be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the air
bag were to inflate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and un-
supervised 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 in- side the vehicle.
* According to model.
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.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belt height adjustment
To lower or raise: slide the control
downwards or upwards.Fastening the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into
the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening the seat belts
Press the button on the buckle.
Seat belts with pre-tensioner

Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner.
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 ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
