Child safety

120
Good practice
children at the front
the legislation on carrying a child on the

front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rearward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed. As a safety precaution, never leave:
-
one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-
the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
to prevent accidental opening of the doors,
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 to the rear windows. Installing a booster seat
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.
P
eugeOt recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a

seat belt guide at shoulder level.
For the optimum installation of a forward
facing child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible.
the head restraint must be removed before

installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
ensure that the head restraint is stowed or

attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-
a rearward facing child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a forward
facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if


necessary, straighten its backrest as well.
the incorrect installation of a child seat in a


vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.

driving advice
distribution of loads: distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose

weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it.
cooling:

towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
tyres: check the tyre pressures of the


towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
eugeOt towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from


the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
eugeOt dealer.
these genuine towbars are compatible with


the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P
eugeOt
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the


manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
rear parking sensors:

the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
eugeOt towbar fitted.
Refer to the "
technical data -
Identification markings" section.

rooF cArrYInG SYStEMS
Refer to the "technical data -
Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (
gross

Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to an H1 or H2
height van, combi and minibus versions. On
a minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
the carrying system must always be

secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
On all H3 height versions, the roof
cannot be fitted with a carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

You are advised to contact a P
eugeOt
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with

external aerial on your vehicle.
P
eugeOt dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,

maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle
electromagnetic


Compatibility Directive (2004/104/
eC).
the fitting of electrical equipment or


accessories which are not listed by
P
eugeOt may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
W

e request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
to prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are
positioned correctly
,
-
never fit one mat on top of another.

SnoW cHAInS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
the snow chains must be fitted only to

the driving 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 running speed
authorised . Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during
a journey

, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of


your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
F
Move off gently and drive for a few


moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you


leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. 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:
