Airbags



Curtain airbags

This is a system which protects the
driver and passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat of row 2)
in the event of a serious side impact in
order to limit the risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is incorporated in
the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.

Activation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side airbag in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and the windows.



Side airbags

This is a
system which protects the
driver and front passenger in the event
of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest.
Each side airbag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.

Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The side airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.
Impact detection zones


A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message
on the display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.
The airbags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.



In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag
may not be triggered.

Airbags



Front airbags

The front airbags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been disarmed, 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 infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front airbag alone can
be disarmed:


- With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag disarming switch,

- turn it to the "OFF" position,

- then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.

The airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
If the two airbag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger 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 infl ate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIE
S

For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (V5 registration
document, ...) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

128
Towing a trailer


Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.


Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk linked with fi tting
a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the
failure of your vehicle’s electronic
system. Please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information before fi tting this
type of equipment.
Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS/ESP

The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance

The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.

Opening the bonnet


OPENING THE BONNET

Bonnet strut

Secure the strut in its location,
identifi ed by a sticker on the left-hand
panel side of the vehicle, to hold the
bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, put the strut
back in its clip without using excessive
force.


On the outside

Raise the bonnet slightly by reaching
in a fl at hand, palm down, to make
access to the lever easier.
With this hand, push the lever to the
left. Raise the bonnet.


On the inside

Pull the lever under the fascia panel
towards you. The bonnet is unlocked.


To close

Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is locked.
Avoid manoeuvring the bonnet in
strong winds.

Checks


CHECKS

Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

maintenance of the particle emission
fi lter must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.


Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear

For information on checking the brake
disc/drum wear, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.


Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the parking
brake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Oil filter

Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. Refer to the servicing booklet for
the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.
