SEAT BELTS
CAB SEAT BELTS
The front seats are fitted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters.
The bench rear seat is fitted with two seat
belts.
If you install a bench seat after handover, it
must be fitted with seat belts.
REAR SEAT BELTS
The seats/bench seats are fitted with three-
point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back. Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver's seat side and
on the side passenger seat side.
The height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.

Fastening

Pull the strap in front of you, with an even
movement, ensuring that it does not twist.
Secure the buckle in its housing.
Check that the seat belt is fastened securely
and that the automatic locking system is
operating correctly by pulling the strap
rapidly.


Unfastening

Press the "red" button on the buckle
housing, the seat belt rolls up automatically
but you are advised to guide it.


As a safety precaution, these
operations should not be carried out
while the vehicle is moving.
Driver's seat belt not fastened warning lamp

When the vehicle is started, this
warning lamp comes on if the
driver has not fastened their seat
belt.
CREW CAB

Each rear seat is fitted with a three-point
inertia reel seat belt.
Use the seat belt to restrain one person only
per seat.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
START mode of Stop & Start will not be
invoked. Engine restarting is only possible
with the ignition key.

Seat belts

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
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 unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
Good practice

The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants. Triggering 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. The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Child safety" section of
chapter 5.
Your PEUGEOT dealer can ensure that
all work or any checks, from testing to
maintenance on your seat belt equipment
meets current regulations.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.

Airbags
122

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:


- in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,

- in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.

Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.

Front airbags

These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Front airbag fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

Cooling system

Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the level
which must be between the MIN
and MAX

marks.

Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil with
the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and very
corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or
coolant into drains or into the ground but
into the containers dedicated to this use at
PEUGEOT dealerships (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.


Topping up

The level must be between the MIN
and
MAX
marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.

Fuel

Low fuel level

When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have enough fuel left to
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km)
,
depending on the driving conditions, the
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up
without delay to avoid running out of fuel. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.


- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Support the cap with one hand.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90
litres.


- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.

FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
FILLING WITH FUEL

Fuel tanks of different capacities,
60 and 125 litres, may be fitted. Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Restore the supply by pressing:


- the first button, located under the glove
box.

- the second button, located in the battery
compartment under the driver's floor.


In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key.
