Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in or-
der to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal firmly beyond the point of
resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed which is
still displayed flashes.
To return to the limiter function, re-
duce your speed to the programmed
speed or below.
Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profile of the road or on a
steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration. In any event, the speed lim-
iter cannot replace the need
to observe speed limits, nor
can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of
the road and take care on sharp ac-
celeration.
To prevent the mat from becoming
trapped under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Switching the function off

Place dial in position 0 or switch
off the ignition to switch the sys-
tem off. The last programmed
speed remains in the memory.
Operating fault
In the event of a limiter malfunction,
a message is displayed on the multi-
function display accompanied by an
audible signal.
The programmed speed is cleared
and the dashes flash for a few sec-
onds.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four detec-
tors, located in the rear bumper, and
a special speaker which emits an au-
dible signal.
This detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the
vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-
tect obstacles located just below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the ma-
noeuvre, but may no longer be detected
when the vehicle comes close to it.Detection zone
Detection
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged.
The proximity detection is emitted by
a buzzer which becomes increasingly
rapid then by a continuous sound as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is less
than thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
On completion of the manoeuvre,
when you exit reverse gear, the sys-
tem becomes inactive.
Temporary deactivation
During the manoeuvre, press button
A
to deactivate the system temporar-
ily (child asleep in the rear...).
Prolonged deactivation
With the ignition on, press button A
for more than four seconds to deacti-
vate the system permanently. The in-
dicator light on the button is switched
off, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal. The system becomes active
again after the ignition has been
switched off.
Note: this function must be deacti-
vated when towing a trailer or when
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fit-
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Operating fault
If there is an operating fault, the in-
dicator light flashes, accompanied
by an audible signal which will be a
short bleep followed by a long bleep,
when changing to reverse gear.
Reactivation
Press button A again to reactivate
the system. The indicator light on the
button is switched on, accompanied
by an audible signal.
In bad or wintry weather, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, frost or
snow.

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 passenger
air bag is disarmed.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed
to maximise the safety of the occu-
pants in the event of serious colli-
sions. They work in conjunction with
the pretensioning seat belts.
The electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-
old is reached, the air bags inflate in-
stantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor collisions, for which the
seat belt is sufficient to ensure maxi-
mum protection. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of impact.
Air bags only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.
Front air bag fault 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 a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing killed or seriously injured if the
air bag were to inflate.

With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the period of dis-
arming.
* According to country.

82 -Driving
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-
sition to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.
SIDE AIR BAGS*
These are incorporated into the
frame of the front seat backs, on the
door side.
They are deployed independently
of each other depending on which
side the collision occurs, in collisions
which could cause injury to the chest,
the abdomen or the head. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.
This is confirmed by an indi-
cator light, accompanied by
a message on the multifunc-
tion display.
With the ignition on (2nd notch), il-
lumination of this warning light ac-
companied by a message on the
multifunction display, indicates that
the passenger air bag is disarmed
(switch in the "OFF" position).
If the two air bag warning
lights are lit continuously, do
not install a rear-facing child
seat. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Air bag fault
Disarming check
For the front and side* air
bags 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 occu-
pants.
• All work on the air bag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is car-
ried 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; deploy- ment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steer- ing 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.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Emp-
ty the used oil into the containers
intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
On vehicles fitted with a particle
emission filter, the fan may operate
after the engine has been switched
off, even when the engine is cold.
* According to country.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A
= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reli-
ability of engines and
emission control sys-
tems, the use of ad-
ditives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Brake fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: brake fluid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can op-
erate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake flu-
id or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.

For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
