SAFETY















FRONT AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of
a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above the glove box.


Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the
front impact zone A
, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the thorax and head of the front
occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.


Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key in the passenger airbag
deactivation switch,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you install a "rear facing" child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
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 hamper 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 must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed 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. The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then defl ates 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.
If possible, 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.




Lateral airbags

Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on
manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.

STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL

The functions of this system are grouped together on steering mounted
control.

DRIVING
CRUISE CONTROL
System which automatically maintains the speed of the vehicle at the
value programmed by the driver, without any action on the accelerator
pedal.
The cruise control is switched off
manually or by pressing the brake or
clutch pedal or on triggering of the trajectory control system for safety
reasons.
Switching off the ignition cancels any programmed speed value.


STEERING MOUNTED CONTROL

The functions of this system are grouped together on the steering
mounted control.


1.
Cruise control mode selection dial.

2.
Speed programming / value decrease button.

3.
Speed programming / value increase button.

4.
Cruise control off / resume button.
The cruise control cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need
to respect speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals at all times. The cruise control is switched on
manually: it requires a minimum
vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the engaging:


- of fourth gear on the manual gearbox,

- of second gear on the automatic gearbox, in sequential driving
mode,

- of position D
on the automatic gearbox.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed temporarily by pressing
the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply release the accelerator
pedal.

CHECKING LEVELS



















OIL LEVEL


The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
It will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).



If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the servicing booklet and the requirements of the warranties. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.


Engine oil change

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine and emission control
system, the use of additives in the engine oil is prohibited. It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil
changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and
top up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
After topping up the oil, the check when switching on the ignition with
the oil level indicator in the instrument panel is not valid during the
30 minutes after topping up.


Oil specification

The oil must be the correct grade for your engine and conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.












BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

The brake fl uid level should be close to the "MAX" mark.
If it is not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fluid

Refer to the servicing and warranty booklet for details of the interval
for this operation.


Fluid specification

The brake fl uid must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations
and meet the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.












POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL

The power steering fl uid level should be close to the "MAX"
mark. With the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level.
