SAFETY -

The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-
strained before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in

the vehicle, always fasten your seat

belt, even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles

as they will not fulil their role fully.

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are itted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stored

automatically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that

the seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible on

the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned

in the hollow of the shoulder.

The inertia reels are itted with an

automatic locking device which

comes into operation in the event of

a collision, on emergency braking

or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must be tightened as close to the

body as possible,

- must restrain one adult only,
-

must not bear any trace of cuts

or fraying,

-

must be pulled in front of you

with a smooth movement,

checking that it does not twist,

-

must not be transformed or

modiied to avoid altering its

performance.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, all repairs and checks

must be carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer who guarantees that the work

is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer and particularly

if the straps show signs of damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product,

sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt

is positioned and rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for children:
-

use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre

ifty,

-

do not use the strap-guide*

when a child seat is installed.

-

never use the same seat belt to

secure more than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on

your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts

, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags. Triggering of the pre-ten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a

noise, due to the activation of the

pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning

light comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if nec-

essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

CHECKS -

CHECKING THE LEVELS

There are two marks on

the dipstick:
A = maximum

Never ill past this mark.

B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission

control systems, the use

of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.

Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin. Empty

the used oil into the containers intend-
ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT

network.

Brake fluid level:

The brake luid must be changed ac-

cording to the manufacturer's servic-
ing schedule.

Use luids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulil DOT4

standards.
Note:

brake luid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact

with the skin.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake luid

or coolant into drains or onto the
ground.

Dipstick

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.

Cooling system

Use the luid recommended by the

manufacturer.

When the engine is warm, the tem-

perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope-

rate with the ignition key removed

and because the cooling system is

pressurised, wait for at least one hour

after the engine has stopped before

carrying out any work.

Slacken the cap by two turns to re-

lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure

has dropped, remove the cap and

top up the level.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
For vehicles equipped with a

particle ilter, the engine fan may

operate after the ignition has been
switched off, even when the en-
gine is cold.

Power steering reservoir

F

Open the reservoir, with the

engine at ambient temperature.

The level should always be

above the MIN. mark and close
to the MAX. mark.

Windscreen and headlamp
wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your

safety, we would advise that you use

products recommended by PEUGEOT.
For optimum cleaning and to prevent

freezing, this luid must not be topped

up or replaced with water.

Oil level

F Check the level regularly and

top up between changes. The

maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,

engine cold, using the oil level gauge

on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

CHECKS

92 -

CHECKS

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the

performance of the system, the

handbrake should be adjusted, even

between services.

Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT
or products of equivalent

quality and speciications.

To ensure best perfor-

mance from components as im-

portant as the power steering and

the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers quite speciic

products.
To prevent damage to the electri-

cal units, avoid washing the en-

gine.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)

If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-

sary to re-prime the circuit:

- ill the fuel tank with at least ive

litres of diesel,

-

squeeze and release the manual

re-priming pump, until fuel

appears in the transparent pipe

under the bonnet,

-

operate the starter until the
engine starts.

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.

Disc wear status

For any information relating to check-

ing the disc wear status, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Oil filter

Change the ilter regularly, in accor-

dance with the servicing schedule.

Air filter and passenger
compartment filter

Have the ilter elements replaced reg-

ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.

Manual gearbox

This does not require an oil change.

Check the level in accordance with the

manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and cer-
tain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle's engine.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your bat-

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

bolts (one per wheel), the chrome-

plated trim cap and then the plastic

cover on the wheel must be removed,

using the yellow tool (located in the

box ixed to the left-hand side of the

boot), before slackening the bolt us-

ing the anti-theft socket (located in

the glove box) and the wheelbrace,

located in the boot rear right inner
panel.

Note: take a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the

anti-theft socket. This will enable you

to obtain a duplicate anti-theft socket
from a PEUGEOT dealer.

Fitting snow tyres

If you it snow tyres that are mounted

on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is

essential that you use special bolts
available from your PEUGEOT dealer.

Bolt covers

Alloy wheel bolts are covered by

chrome trims.
