Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's
registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the
key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look
up the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Remote control
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 vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of
your remote control out of range and out
of sight of your vehicle. You risk making
it inoperative. It will then be necessary to
reinitialise it again.
No remote control can operate when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off, except for
reinitialisation. Stopped vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may render
access by the emergency services to the
interior difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children
alone in the vehicle, except for a very short
period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key
from the ignition switch when leaving the
vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your
possession checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer,
to ensure that only your keys can be used to
open and start the vehicle. Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below :
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor located in the back free
from obstructions.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F
T
o ensure the correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly
as recommended in the warranty and
maintenance record.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F I f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.

The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning light accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning light
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer provided.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked.
ASR / DSC
Reactivation
The ASR system is reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched back on or
from 30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate it
manually.
F
P
ress this button again to
reactivate the system manually.
The button indicator light goes off. These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, black ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. For your safety, you should
therefore keep these systems activated at
all times, particularly in poor conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT
dealers.
In order to benefit from the efficiency of
these systems in winter conditions, we
recommend using snow tyres.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.

Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- M ust be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
-
M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-
M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-
M
ust not show signs of tear or fraying.
-
M
ust not be changed or modified, in
order to avoid affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop
provider with the skills and equipment
needed, which a PEUGEOT network is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
the network PEUGEOT or someone qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
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 reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats
, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts , the pyrotechnic device
may trigger before and independently of
airbag deployment. Deployment of the
pretensioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning light is on.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by the network PEUGEOT or by qualified
workshop.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The safety belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length to
automatically adjust to your shape. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when
it is not used.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in 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 a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling the strap firmly and then
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
