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 buzzer and themessage "Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem 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 passen-ger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front pas-senger 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 onthe instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.

For the front and side air bags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
¥ Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
¥ Sit in a normal upright position (passengers must not place their feet on the fascia).
¥ Ensure there is nothing between the occupants of the front seats and the air bags (animal, child, object etc). This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.
¥ All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT net- work.
¥ After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.
¥ The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered. Have them replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer after this period.
Front air bags
¥ Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
¥ Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
¥ Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe. Side air bags
¥ Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag inflates.
¥ Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
¥ Never put covers on the front seats. Contact your PEUGEOT dealer.

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:
- on level, stable and non slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- wiith first or reverse gear enga- ged,
- with the vehicle chocked using the jack storage box,
- Never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an axle stand).

ALLOY WHEELS Bolt covers Alloy wheel bolts are covered by chrome trims. Use tool 4to remove the trims befo-
re slackening the bolts.
Tool 4is located:
- on the saloon, on the rear right inner panel of the boot,
- on the 206 SW, in the jack storage compartment. Fitting the spare wheelIf your vehicle is equipped with a steel spare wheel, when fitting it, it isnormal
to notice that the bolt
washers do not come into contact
with the rim. The spare wheel issecured by the cone-shape of eachbolt. Fitting snow tyres If you fit snow tyres that are moun- ted on steel rims onto your vehicle, itis essential that you use special
bolts available from your PEUGEOT
