Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3rd
cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,800
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a consistent average. With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible to
make your vehicle’s level of nitrogen oxide
emissions compliant to the standard.

Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.),
nor fix or attach anything close or in the way
of airbag trajectory; this could cause injuries
during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to the
roof, as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a part in
securing the curtain airbags. Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat on a
passenger seat.
Refit the head restraint once the child seat
has been removed.
(a)
Universal child seat: child seat which can
be installed in all vehicles using the seat
belt.
(b) Group 0: from birth to 10

kg. Infant car
seats and "car cots" cannot be installed
on the front passenger seat(s) or the
seats in row 3.
(c) Refer to the legislation in force in your
country before carrying your child in this
seating position.
(d) To install a child seat at the rear, for ward
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.
U Seating position suitable for the
installation of a child seat secured using
the seat belt and universally approved
"rearward facing" and/or "forward facing". UF
Seat suitable for the installation of a child
seat secured using the seat belt and
universally approved "forward facing".
X Seat position not suitable for installation
of a child seat for the weight class
indicated.
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.
