Peugeot Partner VU (2007 year). Instruction - part 6

Driving

Exceeding the programmed

speed

Pressing the accelerator pedal in or-

der to exceed the programmed speed

will have no effect unless you press

the pedal

ﬁrmly beyond the point of

resistance.

The limiter is deactivated temporarily

and the programmed speed which is

still displayed ﬂashes.

To return to the limiter function, re-

duce your speed to the programmed

speed or below.

Flashing of the speed

The speed ﬂashes:

- following forcing of the accelerator

point of resistance,

- when the limiter cannot prevent an

increase in the vehicle speed due

to the proﬁle of the road or on a

steep descent,

- in the event of sharp acceleration.

In any event, the speed lim-

iter cannot replace the need

to observe speed limits, nor

can it replace the need for

vigilance and responsibility

on the part of the driver.

Always pay attention to the proﬁle of

the road and take care on sharp ac-

celeration.

To prevent the mat from becoming

trapped under the pedals:

- ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,

- never ﬁt one mat on top of another.

Switching the function off


Place dial in position

0 or switch

off the ignition to switch the sys-

tem off. The last programmed

speed remains in the memory.

Operating fault

In the event of a limiter malfunction,

a message is displayed on the multi-

function display accompanied by an

audible signal.

The programmed speed is cleared

and the dashes ﬂash for a few sec-

onds.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING

ASSISTANCE

This system consists of four detec-

tors, located in the rear bumper, and

a special speaker which emits an au-

dible signal.

This detects any obstacle (person,

vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the

vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot de-

tect obstacles located just below the

bumper.

An object, such as a stake, a roadworks

cone or any other similar object may be

detected at the beginning of the ma-

noeuvre, but may no longer be detected

when the vehicle comes close to it.

Detection zone

Detection

The system is activated as soon as

reverse gear is engaged.

The proximity detection is emitted by

a buzzer which becomes increasingly

rapid then by a continuous sound as

the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

When the distance between the rear

of the vehicle and the obstacle is less

than thirty centimetres, the audible

signal becomes continuous.

On completion of the manoeuvre,

when you exit reverse gear, the sys-

tem becomes inactive.

Temporary deactivation

During the manoeuvre, press button

A to deactivate the system temporar-

ily (child asleep in the rear...).

Prolonged deactivation

With the ignition on, press button

for more than four seconds to deacti-

vate the system permanently. The in-

dicator light on the button is switched

off, accompanied by an audible sig-

nal. The system becomes active

again after the ignition has been

switched off.

Note: this function must be deacti-

vated when towing a trailer or when

a bicycle carrier is ﬁtted (vehicle ﬁt-

ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier

recommended by PEUGEOT).

Operating fault

If there is an operating fault, the in-

dicator light ﬂashes, accompanied

by an audible signal which will be a

short bleep followed by a long bleep,

when changing to reverse gear.

Reactivation

Press button

A again to reactivate

the system. The indicator light on the

button is switched on, accompanied

by an audible signal.

In bad or wintry weather, en-

sure that the sensors are not

covered with mud, frost or

snow.

Driving

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in

the fascia for the front passenger.

They are deployed simultaneously,

except in cases where the passenger

air bag is disarmed.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have

been designed

to maximise the safety of the occu-

pants in the event of serious colli-

sions. They work in conjunction with

the pretensioning seat belts.

The electronic detectors register and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle: if the triggering thresh-

old is reached, the air bags inﬂate in-

stantly and protect the occupants of

the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in the

case of minor collisions, for which the

seat belt is sufﬁcient to ensure maxi-

mum protection. The seriousness of

a collision depends on the nature of

the obstacle and the speed of the ve-

hicle at the moment of impact.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

If this warning light comes

on on the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible

signal, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system

checked.

Front air bag fault

Disarming the passenger air

bag*

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pas-

senger air bag when you install a

rear-facing child seat on the front

passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk be-

ing killed or seriously injured if the

air bag were to inﬂate.


With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger

air bag disarming switch

1, turn

it to the

"OFF" position, then re-

move the key keeping the slot in

this position.

The air bag warning light on

the instrument panel is lit

throughout the period of dis-

arming.

* According to country.

82 - Driving

In the

"OFF" position, the passen-

ger air bag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed,

turn the air bag slot to the

"ON" po-

sition to re-activate the air bag and

thus ensure the safety of your pas-

senger in the event of an impact.

SIDE AIR BAGS*

These are incorporated into the

frame of the front seat backs, on the

door side.

They are deployed independently

of each other depending on which

side the collision occurs, in collisions

which could cause injury to the chest,

the abdomen or the head.

If this warning light comes on,

accompanied by an audible

signal, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system

checked.

This is conﬁrmed by an indi-

cator light, accompanied by

a message on the multifunc-

tion display.

With the ignition on (2nd notch), il-

lumination of this warning light ac-

companied by a message on the

multifunction display, indicates that

the passenger air bag is disarmed

(switch in the

"OFF" position).

If the two air bag warning

lights are lit continuously, do

not install a rear-facing child

seat. Contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Air bag fault

Disarming check

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 occu-

pants.

• All work on the air bag systems is

strictly prohibited unless it is car-

ried 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; deploy-

ment of the air bags can cause

burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

• Never remove or pierce the steer-

ing 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.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Oil level

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.

Dipstick

Oil change

According to the information given in

the servicing booklet.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin. Emp-

ty the used oil into the containers

intended for this purpose in the

PEUGEOT network.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer’s require-

ments.

Note: the coolant does not need to

be changed.

On vehicles ﬁtted with a particle

emission ﬁlter, the fan may operate

after the engine has been switched

off, even when the engine is cold.

* According to country.

There are two marks

on the dipstick:

A = maximum

Never ﬁll past this

mark.

B = minimum

To maintain the reli-

ability of engines and

emission control sys-

tems, the use of ad-

ditives in engine oil is

prohibited.

Brake fluid change:

- must be carried out 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.

Cooling system

Use the ﬂuid 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 op-

erate 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.

Used oil

Do not dispose of used oil, brake ﬂu-

id 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.

Practical information -

CHECKS

Battery

At the start of winter, have your bat-

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Oil filter

Change the ﬁlter regularly, in accord-

ance with the servicing schedule.

Only use products recom-

mended by PEUGEOT or

products of equivalent qual-

ity and speciﬁcations.

To ensure best performance

from components as important as the

power steering and the braking sys-

tem, PEUGEOT selects and offers

quite speciﬁc products.

To prevent damage to the electrical

units, high pressure washing to clean

the engine compartment is strictly

prohibited.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

(DIESEL)

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

essary to re-prime the circuit:

- ﬁll the fuel tank with at least ﬁve li-

tres of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual

re-priming pump, under the bonnet

under the protective cover, until fuel

appears in the transparent pipe,

- operate the starter until the engine

starts.

FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF

(PETROL)

In a serious collision, a mechanism

prevents fuel from reaching the en-

gine.

To re-establish the fuel supply, press

the switch on the corner of the front

right-hand suspension assembly, un-

der the bonnet.

Air filter and passenger

compartment filter

Have the ﬁlter elements replaced regu-

larly.

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.

Disc and drum wear

For information relating to the wear of

the surfaces of the discs and drums,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.

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.
