Wireless smartphone
charger
It allows the wireless charging of a portable
device, such as a smartphone, using the
principle of magnetic induction, based on the
Qi 1.1 standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by
design or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging zone is identified by the
Qi


symbol.
Operation
The charger works with the engine running and
in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
For versions with Keyless Entry and Starting,
operation of the charger may be interrupted
when opening a door or switching off the
ignition.

Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated) in the
event of a serious frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle.
Deactivating the front passenger
airbag
F With the ignition off , open the passenger
door and insert the key in the front
passenger airbag deactivation switch on the
side of the glovebox.
F

T
urn it to the " OFF" position.
F

R
emove the key keeping the switch in the
new position.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning lamps display
screen. It stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
These front airbags are adaptive. In
particular, their hardness will decrease in
the presence of an occupant of shorter
height, with the seat adjusted to a for ward
longitudinal position. The front airbag inflates between the chest
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Safety

111
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 seats.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. Installing a booster seat (height adjuster)
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.Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to 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.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620 miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To 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.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled
if
an approved towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
If the system fails, as reported by a message,
the engine will not start.
Contact the PEUGEOT dealer.

Pressing the control displays the modes in the
instrument panel.
Gear shift indicator
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
Operation
