Safety recommendations
The safety of a scooter depends on the care taken by its
driver.
Excessive speed is a decisive factor in many accidents.
Respect speed limits and never go faster than is safe
under the road conditions. Take care not to skid on road
marking lines. Always do a general check before using
your scooter to make sure that it can be used safely.
Traffic rules require that the driver and his passenger wear
a helmet. It is also recommended that you wear gloves, an
eye protection and bright and visible clothes to increase
safety. A new Scooter driver should become familiar with
his scooter before starting to drive in traffic. A scooter
driver must signal his presence to other users by:
- Avoiding driving in places in which he is not visible to
other vehicles
- Driving carefully
-Takingspecialcare at intersections,carpark entrances
and exits, and slip roads.
Your scooter is designed for town use on the road only.
Optional luggage and briefcase carriers are designed to
transport lightweight objects. Make sure that the weight is
distributed evenly and that loads are securely fastened :
Maximum Loads : 3 kg
Your scooter is designed to satisfy legal requirements,
please do not make any modifications to it particularly to
the exhaust.
Use only petrol, oil and lubricants tested and recommended
by PEUGEOT .
Maintenance recommendation
In order to keep your scooter in a safe and reliable riding
condition, do not modify it and only use gennine PEUGEOT
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of other spare parts
may detrimentel to your vehicle
If your scooter is involved in a crash, have the main parts
checked carefully, for example all parts making up the
frame,suspension and steering system. This inspection
will help to restore essential safety conditions.
It is recommended that you make a general check after
storing your scooter for an extended period of time .
To avoid injury, always make sure that the engine is
switched off and the scooter is stable on its stand on
a flat surface before performing any maintenance
operations.
Take your scooter to a Peugeot dealer to do any repair
work, checks, tune-ups, maintenance or to obtain
recommendations for use.
The bodywork is made of plastic parts coated with special
paints making it easy to keep it looking as good as new.
Cleaning consists of washing dirty parts with soapy water
or with a mild detergent, rinsing frequently with clean water
and drying with a chamois leather.
In general do not use high pressure cleaners or solvents
such as petrol or highly alkaline detergents.
You can always call a Peugeot dealer if in doubt. He will
advise you about how to use maintenance products or to
repair scratched or grazed parts.
Prolonged immobilisation
In the event of prolonged immobilisation of the vehicle,
(longer than 1 month), it necessary by precaution to :
- Remove the battery and to store it in a horizontal
position in a dry and cool place, recharge it (see page 15)
before and after storage if necessary
Start the engine after storage :
If the vehicle has been stored for more than 1 month,
drain the fuel tank and fill with new fuel.
Once the engine has started, gradually accelerate while
braking until the engine warms up (the time to reach the
temperature depends on the time the vehicle has been
stored). The engine will provide optimum performance
only after running a certain time, depending on the
external temperature.

Inspection before the vehicle
leaves
What the buyer has to do.
To check
- The fuel level
- The oil level
- The possible leaks
- The state of the tyres and their inflating
- The level of the brake fluid

brake linings*
- The level of cooling fluid*
To check the smooth
working of

Protection of the environment
General points
- A worn spark plug, an incorrectly fixed
interference suppresser, a clogged up air filter, a
poorly adjusted carburettor are all potential
sources of problems which may lead to a signifi-
cant reduction in the life span of the catalytic
converter and the exhaust system.
- In the event of dismantling, check the tight-
ness on the cylinder end after reassembly (it is
essential to replace the seal).
- Any changes made to engine specifications
(ignition, carburation, timing, ...) is likely to lead to
the rapid destruction of the exhaust system.
Fuel / Lubricant
- Use only unleaded fuel
- Avoid to run out of fuel while driving
- Use only the recommended lubricants
- Don´t use any additives for fuel or lubricants
