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 passengers.
t

hey are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it 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.
t

his smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
t

he noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

two front rings, located between the

vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated
by a label,
-

a rear ring, for securing the upper

Good practice
children at the front
t
he 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
t
he chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
e
nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P euge O t
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.
t
he head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
e
nsure 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.
t

he 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.
c

ooling: 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 euge O t
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
euge O t
dealer
.
t

hese 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
euge O t

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.
r

ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
euge O t
towbar fitted.
Refer to the "

t
echnical data -

Identification markings" section.

dealer before installing accessory


radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
P
euge O t
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
e lectromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/
e C).
t

he fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
P
euge O t
may result in the failure of your

vehicle's electronic system.
We 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
