facing or rear ward facing, move the seats
in front for ward, then straighten their
backrests to allow sufficient room for the
child seat and the child's legs.
(e) The seat can be installed centrally in the
vehicle; it then prevents the use of the
outer seats.
(f ) When a "rear ward facing" child seat
is placed on the front passenger seat,
the front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child could
face severe injury or death if the airbag
were deployed.

Key"ISOFIX" mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.
If fitted on your vehicle, the regulation ISOFIX
mountings are located by labels.
The mountings comprise three rings for each
seat:
-

T
wo front rings A , located between the
vehicle seat backrest and cushion, indicated
by an "ISOFIX" marking,
-

I
f fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring B , located
behind the vehicle's seat, called Top Tether,
for securing the upper strap, indicated by a
"Top Tether" marking.
Safety

167
The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child
seats that have them. In case of frontal impact,
this device limits the tilting of the child seat
forward.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two front
rings A.
Some also have an upper strap which is
attached to the rear ring B .
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
-

r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
-

r
un the strap of the child seat behind the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
holes for the head restraint rods,
-

f
ix the hook of the upper strap to the rear
ring B ,
-

t
ighten the upper strap. The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly follow the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with
the child seat.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the locations table.

Advice
Child seats
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection 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 harnesses 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 seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear 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, move its backrest into the
upright position. 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, or if possible in contact with it.
You must remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to 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.
Children in 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 passenger's front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
risks being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
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.
PEUGEOT recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
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 under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the 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 on the rear windows.

Safety

177
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that
the heaviest items are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.

Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Roof bars/Roof rack
Recommendations
F D istribute the load uniformly, taking
care to avoid overloading one of the
sides.
F

A
rrange the heaviest part of the load
as close as possible to the roof.
F

L
ash the load down securely and fit a
warning flag if it overhangs the vehicle.
F

D
rive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
(stability may be affected).
F

W
hen not in use, the roof bars should
be removed.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the mountings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
