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 air bag isdisarmed.Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer 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 occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. 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 pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat.
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throu-ghout the disarming process.
* According to destination.

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 remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bagand thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu- mination of this warning light accom-panied by an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air bag
disarmed" on the multifunction dis-
play, indicates that the passenger airbag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisionswhich could cause injury to thechest, the abdomen or the head.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on theinstrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds, or
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION121
Refitting the wheel
Ð After positioning the wheel, lightly pre-tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Compress the jack and release it.
Ð Fully tighten the bolts using the wheelbrace.
Ð Replace the trim except in the case of a space-saver spare wheel, starting at the valve passage hole, and press it on using the palm of the hand.
Note: If the vehicle is fitted in production with a wheel anti-theft lock, the trim cap on the anti-theft bolt is in two parts.
Replacing the wheel in the carrier
Ð Replace the jack storage box in the wheel.
Ð Replace the support spacer 3by clipping it to the space-saving spare wheel.
Ð Replace the wheel in the carrier directing the spacer 3along the centre line of
the vehicle, with the opening towards the front as shown in the diagram above (for a space-saving spare wheel only).
Ð Lift the wheel then the carrier and reposition the hook.
Ð Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.
Ð Stow the wheelbrace.
For your safety, always change a wheel:
Ð on level, stable and non slippery ground,
Ð with the handbrake applied,
Ð wiith first or reverse gear engaged,
Ð with the vehicle chocked using the jack storage box,
Ð never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an axle stand).
After changing the wheel
Ð Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the spare tyre checked as soon as possi-
ble by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Ð Have the punctured tyre repaired and replace it on thevehicle as soon as possible.
Ð The space-saver spare wheel fitted with a 115/70R15 tyremust only be used temporarily:
