"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Your vehicle has been approved to the latest ISOFIX regulations .
The seats represented below are fi tted with regulation ISOFIX
mountings:
These are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A , located between the vehicle seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a ring B referred to as the TOP TETHER , located under a cover
behind the top of the backrest for fi xing the upper strap. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast, reliable and safe fi tting of
the child seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with two locks which are secured
easily on the two rings A .
Some also have an upper strap which is attached to ring B .
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER :
- open the cover at the top of the backrest,
- fi x the hook on the upper strap to the ring B ,
- tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Observe strictly the fi tting instructions in the installation guide
provided with the child seat.
For information regarding the possibilities for installing ISOFIX
child seats in your vehicle, refer to the table.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on a front passenger seat is
specifi c to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your
country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rearward facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the
seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat fi rmly on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses
keeping the slack in relation to the child's body
to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward facing" child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, even in contact if possible.
Installation of a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's
shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the
child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back,
fi tted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

CHANGING A WHEEL
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not block traffi c: the ground
must be level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst
gear (position P for the automatic gearbox) to lock the wheels.
It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
Security socket: for adaptation of the
wheelbrace to the special "security" bolts.
Specifi c to your vehicle, it is stored in the
glove box.
Wheelbrace: for removal of the wheel fi xing
bolts.
Jack with integrated handle: for lifting the
vehicle.
TOOLS REQUIRED *
Bolt cover removal tool: for removal of the
bolt fi nishers (covers) on alloy wheels.
