Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel when the ignition is on and until the airbag is reactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
In the event of a fault, identified by the illumination of at least one of the two
airbag warning lamps, do not install a passenger (adult or child) at the front. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, with the ignition on , turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger in the event of an impact.

Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be deployed. In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The curtain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffic: the ground must be level, stable and not slippery. Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first gear * to block the wheels. Check that the parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel come on. The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait where they are safe. Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations

Practical information
Amber coloured bulbs, such as the direction indicators, must be replaced with bulbs of identical specifications and colour. When refitting, close the protective cover carefully to preserve the sealing of the headlamp.
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator warning lamp (right or left) indicates the failure of a bulb on that side.
Changing direction indicator bulbs
 Turn the bulb holder a quarter of a turn and extract it.  Pull out the bulb and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
 To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Checks
Low fuel level
When the fuel tank minimum level is reached this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel. There remains approximately 5 litres of fuel in the tank. When the warning lamp flashes, there is ver y little fuel left .
The key cannot be removed from the lock until the cap is refitted. Removing the filler cap may cause an inrush of air. This vacuum is per fectly normal and results from the sealing of the system.
Fuel tank
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 50 litres.
A self-adhesive label on the inner face of the filler flap reminds you of the type of fuel to use depending on your engine. Additions of fuel must be of at least 5 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Filling
To fill the tank safely:  the engine must be switched off, open the fuel filler flap,  insert the key in the cap, then turn it to the left,  remove the cap and hook it onto the clip located on the inside of the flap,  fill the tank, but do not continue after the 3rd cut- off of the pump ; this could cause malfunctions.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition with the key.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to the "Running out of fuel - Diesel" section.
