Gearboxes and steering wheel

STARTING AND STOPPING


Key

Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.


Good practice when starting


Door or bonnet open warning lamp

If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly, check!

Diesel pre-heating warning lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp comes
on for less than one second, you
can start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp
to go off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts.



Good practice when stopping


Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow the
turbocharger (Diesel engine) to return to
idle.
Do not press the accelerator when switching
off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear after
parking the vehicle.

Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering
wheel gently while turning the key, without
forcing. In this position, certain accessories
can be used.

Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine turns
over, release the key.

STOP position:
steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.
STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.

Good practice

The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS which could result in a loss of control of
the vehicle on braking. To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Airbags

Good practice

Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hinder the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact, 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.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible 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.

Airbags
Deactivating
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
, insert
the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.


Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger's
airbag will not be deployed in the event of
an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone A
in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Front airbag fault
If the two airbag warning lamps are
on continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

The kit is located at the left hand rear of the
vehicle.
The temporary puncture repair kit consists
of a compressor and a cartridge (containing
a sealant).
Using the kit

- switch off the ignition,
- affix the speed limitation sticker to the
vehicle's steering wheel to remind you
that a wheel is in temporary use,
- check that the switch A
is at position " 0
",

- connect the pipe of the bottle 1
to the
valve of the tyre to be repaired,

- connect the compressor's electrical plug to the vehicle's 12V socket,

- start the vehicle and let the engine run,
- switch on the compressor by pressing the switch A
to position " 1
" until the tyre
pressure reaches 2.0 bars,
- remove the compressor, unclip and
store the bottle in a sealed bag to avoid
staining your vehicle with traces of fluid,
- drive immediately, for approximately two miles (three kilometres), at reduced
speed (between 12 and 37 mph (20 and
60 km/h)), to seal the puncture,
- stop to check the repair and the pressure,

Vehicles supplied with a temporary
puncture repair kit do not have a spare
wheel or tooling (jack, wheelbrace, ...). If, after approximately five to ten
minutes, you are not able to obtain
this pressure, the tyre cannot be
repaired; contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop for roadside
assistance.
