operates as follows:
If the brightness is sufficient and/or if the traffic
conditions do not allow illumination of the main
beam headlamps:
– The dipped beam headlamps will
remain on: this indicator lamp lights up on
the instrument panel.
If the brightness
is very low and the traffic
conditions allow:
– The main beam headla mps
come on automatically: these
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.

Safety
seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–

Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
–

"forward facing" over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
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.
Use 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 sun's rays,
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–

A

child alone and unsupervised inside 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.
Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing



► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
►

Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.

71
Driving
6If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are located as close as possible
to the axle, and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted, without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid activating
the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►

Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system. It
activates automatically when the key is removed
from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a dialogue
is set up between the key and the electronic
immobiliser.
This warning lamp goes off after the key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key and
have the faulty key checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Carefully note the key number. In case of
loss, the intervention of a PEUGEOT
dealer will be faster and more efficient if you
provide this number and the confidential card.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even in your
pocket, may cause the doors to be unlocked
accidentally.
The simultaneous use of other high-frequency
devices (mobile phones, home alarms, etc.),
may temporarily disturb the operation of the
remote control.
Except for reinitialisation, the remote control
cannot operate while the key is in the ignition
switch, even when the ignition is off.
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency
services to enter the vehicle in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.

72
Driving
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
–

check that you are in possession of the
confidential card,
–


have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT

dealer, to be sure that the keys in your
possession are the only ones that allow the
vehicle to be started.
Confidential card

It is given to you upon delivery of your vehicle
with the duplicate key.
It contains the identification code required for
any intervention by a PEUGEOT dealer on the
electronic engine immobiliser system. This code
is hidden by a film, which is to be removed only
when necessary.
Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a long trip or journey
however, it is advisable to take this card with you
along with your personal papers.
