''Isofix'' mountings
Available on the two side rear seats, the Isofix mountings allow for fittingof a special child seat for
PEUGEOT vehicles and sold by
PEUGEOT dealers. The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountings andensure safe, reliable and fast assem-
bly. The special approved child seat is
the Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be usedin the "rear facing" position when theside seats are recentred from birth to13 kg and in the "forwards facing"position from 9 to 18 kg. In the "forwards facing" position, the front seat must be in the mid-wayposition on the slide, with the seatback upright. The combined use of the Isofix mounting, the restraining cushion
and the seat belt is then compulsory.
The Isofix KIDDY seat can also be installed on a side seat in the 2nd
row, positioned in the 3rd row. In this
case, the Isofix KIDDY seat must bein the "rear facing" position, the bodysupported on the seat back of thecorresponding 2nd row seat.

This seat can also be used on seats not fitted with Isofix mountings: inthis case it is compulsory to attach itto the vehicle's seat by means of thethree-point seat belt.
When the Isofix KIDDY seat is fit- ted in the "rear facing" positionon the front passenger seat, it isimperative that that passenger airbag be disarmed. Otherwise there is a risk the child could be seriously injured or evenkilled due to deployment of the airbag. Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat in the manufactu-rer's instruction booklet.

For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
- 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.
- 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 (up to 13 kg) "Britax Babysure": 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 (9 to 18 kg) "Ršmer Prince": installed in the rear using a three-point seat belt. For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.

Remember, even for short journeys, to fasten the three-point seat belts or thechild seat straps, keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum.
To prevent the doors from opening accidentally, use the child-lock. Also, do not open the rear windows more than a third.

Pre-tensioning and force-limiting seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by theintroduction of pre-tensioning andforce-limiting seat belts. Dependingon the seriousness of the impact,the pre-tensioning system instantlytightens the seat belts firmly againstthe body of the occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt againstthe occupant's body in the event ofan accident.
Do not use the seat belt guide when the side seats are recen-tred.

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They works 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 ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. 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 fault

each other, on whichever side thecollision occurs. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display.
