ADVICE ON CHILD

SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child’s protection in the event of an

accident.

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 "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle’s seat

and that the head restraint does not

cause any discomfort.

If the head restraint has to be removed,

ensure that it is stored or attached se-

curely to prevent it from being thrown

around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking.

Children under the age of 10 must not

travel in the "forward facing" position

on the front passenger seat, unless

the rear seats are already occupied

by other children, cannot be used or

are absent.

Disarm the passenger air bag* when

a "rear facing" child seat is installed

on the front seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk be-

ing seriously injured or killed if the air

bag were to inﬂate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- one or more children alone and un-

supervised 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 in-

side the vehicle.

* According to model.

Installing 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, ﬁt-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.

SEAT BELTS

Seat belt height adjustment

To lower or raise: slide the control

downwards or upwards.

Fastening the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the end into

the buckle.

Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

Unfastening the seat belts

Press the button on the buckle.

Seat belts with pre-tensioner

Safety in the event of front impacts

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner.

Depending on the seriousness of the

impact, the pre-tensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts and

pulls them against the bodies of the

occupants.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-

tive when the ignition is on.

Seats

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.

The seat belts are ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-

ment of the length of the strap to your

size. The seat belt is stored automat-

ically 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 ﬁtted with an au-

tomatic locking device which comes

into operation in the event of a colli-

sion or emergency braking. 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 modi-

ﬁed to avoid altering its perform-

ance.

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 regu-

larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-

ticularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product,

sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

* According to model.

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁfty,

- do not use the strap-guide* when a

child seat is installed,

- never use the same seat belt to se-

cure 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.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

tomatically.

Access and starting

ELECTRONIC ENGINE

IMMOBILISER

This locks the engine control sys-

tem as soon as the ignition has been

switched off and therefore prevents

starting of the vehicle by anyone who

does not have the key.

The ignition key has an electronic

chip which has a special code. When

the ignition is switched on, the code

must be recognised for the vehicle to

start.

If the system does not function

correctly, the central locking button

indicator light, situated in the centre

of the fascia, ﬂashes rapidly when the

ignition is switched on (2nd notch),

accompanied by an audible signal

and a message on the multifunction

display.

In this case your vehicle will not start.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon

as possible.

Key in ignition

A buzzer sounds on opening the driv-

er’s door, if the key has been left in

the ignition.

CONFIDENTIAL CARD

This is given to you on delivery of

your vehicle with the duplicate keys.

It contains the identiﬁcation code

necessary for any work carried out

by a PEUGEOT dealer on the elec-

tronic immobiliser system. This code

is hidden by a ﬁlm, which should be

removed only if necessary.

Keep your card in a safe place,

never inside the vehicle.

When undertaking a long trip or jour-

ney, however, it is advisable to take

it with you along with your personal

papers.

Depending on the circumstances,

your PEUGEOT dealer will be able

to carry out the work more efﬁciently

and more quickly if you give him this

conﬁdential card:

- if the keys are lost, if you have

made a note of the number coded

on the label attached to the key.

- if the anti-theft socket is lost (alloy

wheels), if you have made a note of

the code etched on the head of the

socket.

56 - Access and starting

Make a careful note of the

number on each key. The

key number is coded on

the label attached to the

key.

If the keys are lost, your PEUGEOT

dealer can rapidly supply you with

new keys.
The high frequency remote control

is a sensitive system; do not operate

it while it is in your pocket as there is

a possibility that it may unlock your

vehicle, without you being aware

of it.
The remote control does not oper-

ate when the key is in the ignition,

even when the ignition is switched

off, except for reprogramming.
Do not operate the deadlocking

function if there is anyone inside

the vehicle.
Driving with the doors locked may

make access to the passenger

compartment by the emergency

services more difﬁcult in an emer-

gency.

As a safety precaution (with chil-

dren on board), remove the igni-

tion key when you leave the vehi-

cle, even for a short time.
Do not repeatedly press the but-

ton of your remote control out of

range and out of sight of your ve-

hicle. You run the risk of stopping

it from working and the remote

control would have to be repro-

grammed.

When purchasing a second-hand

vehicle;

- ensure that you are given the

conﬁdential card;

- have the key codes memorised

by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure

that the keys in your possession

are the only ones which can start

the vehicle.

Do not make any modiﬁcations to

the electronic engine immobiliser

system.
