In the event of a malfunction
If this warning light comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags may
no longer be deployed in the event of
a serious impact. Instrument panel warning light.
Disarming the front passenger’s front air bag *

To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-fac-
ing child seat on the front passen-
ger seat. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed
if the air bag were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
the key keeping the slot in this po-
sition. Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.
* According to country. When the ignition is on, this
warning light remains lit on
the instrument panel for the
duration of disarming.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact. The steering column air bag protects
the driver’s knees in the event of a se-
rious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.

The operations must be carried
out with the engine running.
On a steep descent or if the
driver accelerates sharply, the
speed limiter, which does not
act on the brakes, is not able
to prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the speed
limiter replace the requirement to re-
spect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibil-
ity on the part of the driver.
The driver must remain vigilant and
stay in complete control of his vehicle.
Limiter function
This prevents the vehicle speed ex-
ceeding the speed programmed by
the driver (minimum speed of 18 mph
(30 km/h)).

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
Pressure Check
With the ignition on and the ve-
hicle having been stationary
for approximately 15 minutes,
and after the engine oil level,
this indicator light comes on
on the instrument panel screen to indi-
cate that the system is measuring the
tyre pressures.
Pressure OK
This indicator light comes
on on the instrument panel
screen if all of the tyre pres-
sure values measured are
correct.
If this indicator light does not appear,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Puncture
This warning light, accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message on the
multi-function display locat-
ing the wheel concerned, is
followed by illumination of the STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
tured or very defl ated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.

Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the ve-
hicle (being repaired) or when
one or more wheels without a
sensor are fi tted. All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fi tted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate the
need to have the tyre pressure checked
regularly (see manufacturer's label) to
ensure that the optimum dynamic per-
formance of the vehicle is maintained
and prevent premature wear of the
tyres, particularly in arduous driving
conditions (heavy load, high speed).

The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember to
check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem may experience temporary inter-
ference due to radioelectric emissions
on a frequency close to that used by
the system.
Flat tyre This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible signal
and the message on the mul-
ti-function display locating
the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible. Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
This warning light is accom-
panied by the audible sig-
nal and the message on the
multi-function display which
indicates that under-infl ation
detection is absent from one (or sev-
eral) wheel(s) or that there is a fault in
the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Cooling system CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Consult the instruc-
tions in the PEUGEOT network, on
the Service Box site or in the servicing
booklet enclosed with this handbook.
Dipstick There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick.
Important: if you have to re-
move/refi t the engine style cov-
er, handle it with care to avoid
damaging the fi xing clips. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specifi ed and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Consult
the instructions in the PEUGEOT net-
work or on the SERVICE BOX site.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty
the used oil into the containers provid-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Oil filter
Replace the cartridge regularly in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi ls DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fl uid is
changed at the intervals specifi ed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
servicing schedule.

Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Use only the fl uid recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled by
the engine fan. As this fan can oper-
ate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressu-
rised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carry-
ing out any work.
Slacken the cap to the fi rst
notch to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level with coolant.

The engine fan can oper-
ate after the vehicle has
stopped.

CHANGING A WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
electrical functions can be used for a
maximum duration of approximately
one hour, to prevent discharging of the
battery.
LOAD REDUCTION FUNCTION
When driving, certain functions (air
conditioning, heated rear screen,
heating system for passenger com-
partment of diesel vehicles, etc.) may
be switched off temporarily, depending
on the level of battery charge.
Reactivation of these functions is
automatic, once the battery charge is
suffi cient.
Note: at the risk of discharging
the battery, the functions that
have been switched off may be
reactivated manually.

Note: if the telephone is being
used when economy mode
starts, it will still be possible to
fi nish the call.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
Replacing a blade

 Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.

 Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To reposition the blades, switch on the
ignition and operate the windscreen
wiper stalk. Once the hour is over, a switching to
economy mode message appears
on the multi-function display and the
active functions are put on standby.
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
approximately double the duration
for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be
between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This time may be signifi cantly
reduced if the battery charge
is low.
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position

 Less than one minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, press the wind-
screen wiper stalk down once
to position the blades at the top
