ISOFIX MOUNTINGS
Available on the front passenger seat, the Isofix mountings allow for fitting of aspecial child seat
, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers. The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountings and ensuresafe, reliable and fast assembly
.
In the front ,the child seat must be fit-
ted in the "rear facing" position for chil-dren from birth to 29lbs (13 kg): front
seat as far forward as possible so
that the body of the child seat is in con-tact with or as close as possible to theinstrument panel. In this case, it is essential to disarm the passenger air bag. The child would risk being killed or seriously injured if the air bag wereto inflate. In exceptional cases, the child seat may be fitted in the "forwards facing"position if the rear seats are alreadyoccupied by other children. In thiscase, use the Isofix mountings, thechild seat strap and the seat belt andadjust the passenger seat to the most
rearward position. The passenger airbag may be left active. The special approved child seat is the
Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be used inthe "rear facing" position from birth to29 lbs (13 kg) and "forwards facing"from 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg). This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with Isofix mountings: it isthen compulsory to attach it to thevehicle's seat using the three-pointseat belt.

CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
Ð All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with
a
seat belt.
Ð Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facing position**.The rearwards facing position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.
After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems: Up to 18 months (to 29 lbs or 13 kg) "Britax Babysure": is installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt. In the front, the passenger seat must be in the "mid-way"position on the slide.
From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (20 to 40 lbs or 9 to 18 kg) "Ršmer Prince": is fitted to the rear using a three-point seat belt. For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.

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 caseswhere the passenger air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audiblesignal and the message
"Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theforce-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate instant-ly and protect the occupants of thevehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they do nothinder the visibility of the occupantsnor their exit if necessary from thevehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not seri-
ous, for which the seat belt is sufficient
to ensure maximum protection. Theseriousness of a collision depends onthe nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the moment ofthe collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passengerair bag when you install a rear-facingchild seat on the front passengerseat.
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passenger air bagdisarming switch 1, turn it to the
"OFF" position, then remove the
key keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.

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"posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thusensure the safety of your passenger inthe event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible signaland a message on the multifunction

multifunction display, indicates that thepassenger air bag is disarmed (switch inthe "OFF" position).SIDE AIRBAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on the doorside. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisions whichcould cause injury to the chest, theabdomen or the head. Operating check
