Safety

01-01-2006

For the front and side*

air bags to be fully

effective, observe the

following safety rules:

• Wear a correctly adjusted seat

belt.

• Sit in a normal upright position.

• Do not leave anything between

the occupants and the air bags

(child, animal, object...).

This could hamper the operation

of the air bags or injure the

occupants.

• All work on the air bag systems

is strictly prohibited unless it is

carried out by qualified personnel

of the PEUGEOT network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken

into, have the air bag systems

checked.

Front air bags

• 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 fascia.

• Smoke as little as possible;

deployment of the air bags can

cause burns or the risk of injury

from a cigarette or pipe.

• Never remove or pierce the

steering wheel or hit it violently.

Side air bags*

• Only put approved covers on

the front seats. Contact your

PEUGEOT dealer.

• Do not fix or glue anything to

the front seat backs. This could

cause injury to the chest or arms

when the side air bag inflates.

• Do not sit with the upper part of

the body any nearer to the door

than necessary.

* According to country.

SEAT BELTS

To lock the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the buckle

into the stalk.

Pre-tensioning and force-

limiting front seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impact

has been improved by the introduction

of pre-tensioning and force-limiting

front seat belts. Depending on the

seriousness of the impact, the pre-

tensioning system instantly tightens

the seat belts firmly against the body

of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

The force-limiting device reduces the

pressure of the seat belt against the

occupant’s body in the event of an

accident.

Rear seat belts

The rear seats are fitted with two

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

Safety

01-01-2006

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 fulfil their role

fully.

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.

Before and after use, ensure that the

seat belt is rolled up correctly.

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 not be twisted,

- must not be transformed or

modified.

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 child seats:

- use a suitable child seat if the

passenger is less than 12 years old

or shorter than one metre fifty,

- do not use the strap-guide* when a

child seat is installed.

* According to model.

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impacts,

the pre-tensioning device may be

triggered before and independently

of the air bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the

seat belts system checked, and if

necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Oil level



Check the level regularly and

top up between changes. The

maximum consumption is 0.5 l per

600 miles (1000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle

level, engine cold, using the oil level

gauge on the instrument panel or the

dipstick.

Dipstick

There are two marks

on the dipstick:

A = maximum

Never fill 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

prolonged contact with the skin.

Empty the used oil into the containers

intended for this purpose in the

PEUGEOT network.

Note: the coolant does not need to

be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a

particle filter, the engine fan may

operate after the ignition has

been switched off, even when the

engine is cold.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must meet

the manufacturer’s requirements.

Brake fluid level:

The brake fluid must be changed

according to the manufacturer’s

servicing schedule.

Use fluids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4

standards.

Note: brake fluid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact

with the skin.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake

fluid or coolant into drains or onto the

ground.

Power steering reservoir



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.

Cooling system

Use the fluid recommended by the

manufacturer.

When the engine is warm, the

temperature of the coolant is

controlled by the engine fan. As this

fan can operate 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

release the pressure to prevent any

risk of scalding. When the pressure

has dropped, remove the cap and

top up the level.

* According to country.

Diesel additive level (Diesel)

If a message on the multifunction

display indicates a low diesel additive

level accompanied by an audible

signal, this additive must be topped

up. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as

soon as possible.

Checks

01-01-2006

Particle filter (Diesel)

The maintenance of the particle filter

must be carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer in accordance with the

manufacturer’s servicing schedule.

Note: following prolonged operation

of the vehicle at very low speed

or at idle, you may, in exceptional

circumstances, notice discharges

of water vapour at the exhaust on

acceleration. This does not have any

adverse effect on the behaviour of

the vehicle or on the environment.

Only use products recom-

mended by PEUGEOT

or products of equivalent

quality and specifications.

To

ensure

best

performance

from

components as important as the

power steering and the braking

system, PEUGEOT selects and

offers quite specific products.

To prevent damage to the electrical

units, avoid washing the engine.

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your

battery checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Air filter and passenger

compartment filter

Have the filter elements replaced

regularly.

If you drive in dusty

conditions, change them twice as

often.

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.

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.

Oil filter

Change the filter

regularly,

in

accordance with the servicing

schedule.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

(DIESEL)

If you should run out of fuel, it is

necessary to re-prime the circuit:

1.6 litre HDI 16V engine

- fill the fuel tank with at least five

litres of diesel,

- unclip the style cover to gain access

to the re-priming pump,

- squeeze and release the manual

re-priming pump, until fuel appears

in the transparent pipe with the

green connector,

- operate the starter until the engine

starts.

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

certain components, in accordance

with the manufacturer’s servicing

schedule, refer to the pages

of the servicing booklet which

correspond to your vehicle’s

engine.
