When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel. It stays on while
the airbag is deactivated. To ensure the safety of your child, the front
passenger airbag must be deactivated
when you install a
"rear ward facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivating the front passenger
airbag
When you remove the "rear ward facing" child
seat, with the ignition off , 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.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a


child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
when the child seat is removed. Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-

a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a
risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. 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.
We recommend using a
booster seat with
a
backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, 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.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a
vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.

capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.

c hip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This anti-theft protection locks the engine
management system a

ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a


break-in.
In the event of a
fault, you are

Deactivation/Reactivation
In certain circumstances, such as the need
to maintain the temperature in the passenger
compartment, it may be useful to deactivate the
Stop & Start system.
The system can be deactivated at any time,
once the ignition is switched on.
If the engine is in STOP mode, it then restarts.
The Stop & Start system is reactivated
automatically every time the ignition is switched
on.Opening the bonnet Driving on flooded roads
Before driving through a
flooded road, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Malfunction
The Stop & Start system requires a 12 V
b attery of specific technology and
specification.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
F

T

o deactivate or reactivate the system,
press this button.
The indicator lamp is lit when the system is
deactivated.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to avoid
the risk of injury related to an automatic
change to START mode.
Under-inflation detection
This system automatically monitors the tyre
pressure while driving.
The system monitors the pressure in all four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres.
In the event of a

fault with the system, the ECO
OFF switch warning lamp flashes, then comes
on fixed.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
If a

fault occurs in STOP mode, the vehicle
may stall. All of the instrument panel warning
lamps come on. It is then necessary to switch
the ignition off and to restart the engine using
t h e key.

Switching the function off
F Place the thumbwheel at the " 0" position:
cruise control mode is deselected. The
display returns to the total mileage recorder.
After switching off the ignition, all registered
speed settings are lost.

The registered speed is erased, then replaced
by three dashes.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. When changing the registered speed
setting by means of a
maintained press,
pay attention as the speed may increase
or decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the registered speed.
The cruise control system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need
to obser ve speed limits or the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.

(Diesel) , refer to the corresponding section.
Refilling
A sticker on the inner face of the filler flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to use,
depending on your engine type. The key cannot be removed from the lock
until the filler cap is refitted.
Opening the filler cap may create a
noise
caused by an inrush of air. This vacuum is
entirely normal, resulting from the sealing
of the fuel system.
