🛡️ Safety Features

Euro Ncap Rating:

The Nemo, as a light commercial vehicle based on a passenger car platform, would have undergone Euro NCAP testing. While specific scores for the 2016 Nemo aren't universally published, sister vehicles like the Peugeot Bipper have achieved ratings around 3-4 stars, depending on equipment and testing year. Comprehensive safety features in the manual are key.

ABS:

Standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

E Bd:

Likely equipped with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

Airbags:

Driver and front passenger airbags. Side airbags and curtain airbags might be optional depending on trim.

Seatbelts:

Three-point inertia reel seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters.

💡 Technology Features

Infotainment System:

Basic infotainment systems were available, typically including a radio with CD player, MP3 playback, and possibly Bluetooth connectivity. Higher trims might have offered USB ports and steering wheel controls.

Driver Assistance Features:

Limited driver assistance systems in this segment and era. Parking sensors might have been optional. ABS and EBD are the primary active safety features.

Connectivity Options:

Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming could be an option on higher trims. The manual will detail how to pair devices and operate these functions.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically every 20,000 km (12,000 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. The specific interval can vary based on driving conditions and oil type used. The manual will provide precise recommendations.

Air Filter Replacement:

Recommended every 40,000 km (24,000 miles) or as per manual inspection.

Fuel Filter Replacement:

Typically every 60,000 km (37,000 miles) for diesel engines. Crucial for maintaining fuel system health.

Timing Belt Replacement:

Likely a timing chain or belt. If a belt, the interval is typically around 100,000 - 120,000 miles (160,000 - 200,000 km). The manual will specify belt or chain and replacement intervals.

Engine Oil Specification:

Likely a low-viscosity synthetic oil meeting ACEA C2 or C3 specifications for diesel engines with diesel particulate filters (DPF). Common viscosities: 0W-30 or 5W-30. Specific OEM approval (e.g., PSA B71 2290) would be critical.

Coolant Specification:

Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically blue or purple, meeting PSA or relevant industry standards. Capacity around 5.0-5.5 liters.

Common Problems:

Potential issues include DPF regeneration problems (especially with short urban journeys), EGR valve issues, turbocharger wear, and potential electrical gremlins. The manual's diagnostic sections are vital for addressing these.

Turbocharger Maintenance:

Proper warm-up and cool-down procedures are critical for turbocharger longevity. The manual will likely detail these and checks for oil leaks or bearing play.
