"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
Available on the two side rear seats, and on the front passenger seat, theIsofix mountings allow for fitting of aspecial child seat , sold within the
PEUGEOT network. The locks incorporated in the child seat fit onto the Isofix mountingsand ensure safe, reliable and fast
assembly. In the front
, the child seat must be
fitted in the 'rear facing' position forchildren from birth to 13 kg: front
seat as far forward as possible so
that the body of the child seat is incontact with or as close as possibleto the fascia. In this case, it is essential to disarm the passenger air bag. There is a risk that the child may be killed or seriously injured if theair bag inflates. In exceptional cases, the child seat may be fitted in the 'forwards facing'position if the rear seats are alreadyoccupied by other children or if therear seats cannot be used (not pre-sent, folded down). In this case, usethe Isofix mountings, the restrainingcushion of the child seat and theseat belt and adjust the front pas-senger seat to the most rearward
position. The passenger air bag maybe left active. In the rear , the child seat may be fit-
ted in the 'rear facing' or 'forwards facing' position. In this case, thefront seat must be in mid-slideposition, with the seat backupright. The combined use of the Isofix mountings, the restraining cushionof the child seat and the seat belt iscompulsory for a 'forwards facing'seat. The special approved child seat is
the Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be usedin the "rear facing" position frombirth to 13 kg and "forwards facing"from 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. Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat in the manufactu-rer's instruction booklet.

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:
- 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) "Ršmer 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.

From 3 to 10 years (15 to 36 kg)"Recaro start'': installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt. The height, width and length of the seat must be adjusted according to the age and build of your child. "Klippan Optima": installed in the rear with a three-point seat belt. From the age of 6 years (approximately 22 kg), the booster is used on its own.
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.
* According to current legislation in the country of destination.
** Unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children or the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing or folded down). In this case, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and leave the air bag active.
Never leave a child or an animal in a vehicle whichis exposed to the sunand has the windows clo-
sed. Never leave the keys within
reach of children inside the car. Disarm the passenger air bag when installing a '"earwardsfacing" child seat on the frontpassenger seat. Observe strictly the recommen- dations for assembling the childseat as shown in the child seatinstructions.4

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.

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 multi-function 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.
