Do not use the luggage net rings
(hatchback) or stowing rings (SW), located
at the edges of the boot floor.
A ring B
, in the boot (indicated by a label),
referred to as TOP TETHER , for securing the
upper strap.
The TOP TETHER secures the upper strap of
child seats that have them. In case of frontal
impact, this device limits the tilting of the child
seat forward.
The TOP TETHER is located on the boot floor
behind the seat backrest.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are easily secured on the two
rings A . To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER
:
-
r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on the vehicle seat
(refit it when the child seat is removed),
-
p
ass the child seat upper strap over the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,
-
a
ttach the hook of the upper strap to ring B
,
-
t
ighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly obser ve the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
For information regarding the ISOFIX
child seats which can be installed in your
vehicle, refer to the table showing the
locations for installing ISOFIX child seats. If your vehicle has a standard spare wheel of
the same size as the four wheels, follow the
procedure below:
F

p
ass the strap and spring hook over the
boot floor (in the slot),
F
r
aise the boot floor,
F
l
ift out the upper storage box, located
alongside the wheel,
F
a
ttach the spring hook to the TOP TETHER
ring,
F r efit the storage box and boot floor.
Some also have an upper strap
which is
attached to ring B .

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation advice
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and, if necessary,
place a chock under a wheel to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F

F

provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31
mph
(50


km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Type of chain
195/65 R15 9
mm link
205/55 R16
2 2 5 /4 5 R17
225/40 R18 K-Summit K23
235/35 R19 Polar Grip 70
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Very cold climate screen
Removable protective screen which prevents
the accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling fan.
It is recommended that the screen be
fitted and removed by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Before fitting or removing a screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped.
Fitting
F Position the screen in front of the top part of the upper grille in the front bumper.
F

P

Brake disc/drum wear
For information on checking
brake disc/drum wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any
specific check. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake , refer to the corresponding
section.
Wheels and tyres
The pressure must be checked on
all tyres, including the spare wheel,
when the tyres are "cold", at least
once a month and before a long
j o u r n ey. The pressures given on the tyre pressure label
are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven for
more than 10
minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at more than 31 mph (50 km/h),
0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be added to the values
given on the label.
Under-inflation increases fuel consumption.
Non-compliant tyre pressure causes premature
wear on tyres and has an adverse effect on the
vehicle's road holding – Risk of an accident!
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces
braking efficiency and control of the vehicle's
steering. Regular inspections of the condition
of tyres (tread and sides) and rims are
recommended as well as making sure that
valves are fitted.
Using different size wheels and tyres from
those specified can affect the lifetime of tyres,
wheel rotation, ground clearance and the
speedometer reading and have an adverse
effect on road holding.
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles
can cause the ESC to mistime. Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely affecting the per formance or fuel
consumption of its Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a Diesel particle filter
(DPF) for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
Using a fluid called AdBlue® containing urea,
a catalytic converter converts up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
