Fuel filler flap
If your vehicle is equipped with one, do not
open the sliding left side door when the
fuel filler flap is open, other wise there is a
risk that the fuel filler flap and the sliding
door will be damaged and the person
filling up will be injured.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you open
the left side door, a mechanism prevents it
being opened.
The door can be opened half way
h o w eve r.
With a mechanical door, close the fuel
filler flap again to regain use of the door.
With an electrical door, in order to be able
to use it correctly, close the fuel filler flap
then press an opening button.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close doors
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing up, open the door
with care. The door may open more quickly due
to the incline.
On a steep slope, guide the side door manually
to help it to close.However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing down, the door may
not stay open and may close again jerkily with
the risk of injury.
In the case of a steep slope, the door
may be driven by its own weight and as a
consequence may open or close jerkily.
There would not be time for action at the
electric controls to take effect.
There would not be time for the
obstacle detection system to react.
Take care not to leave the vehicle on a
steep slope with the door(s) open without
supervision. If this advice is not followed,
injuries or damage may occur if a person
or an object is trapped or caught.

General points relating to
child seats
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main
considerations when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-

I

n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12

or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings*.
-

S

tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-

A c

hild weighing less than 9

kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
PEUGEOT recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-

re

arward facing
up to the age of 3,
-

fo

rward facing
over the age of 3.
Child seat at the rear
Row 2
Ensure that the seat belt is properly
tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle.
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the rear ward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back position,
with the backrest straightened.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the for ward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back position,
with the backrest straightened.

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.
