To adjust the height of the front seat belts Pull the knob 1and slide it.
To lock the seat beltsPull the strap, then insert the end into the buckle. Pre-tensioning and force-limiting front seat belts* Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-ing front seat belts. Depending on theseriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioning system instantly tightensthe seat belts firmly against the bodyof 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 against the
occupantÕs body in the event of anaccident. Rear seat belts 4-door:
the rear seats are fitted with
3 three-point inertia reel seat belts.
3/5-door, estate: The rear seats are
fitted with 2 three-point inertia reel seat belts and one lap belt. Use the buckle retaining hooks when the rear seats are not occupied.
* According to specification. To be effective, a seat belt must be tensioned asclose to the body as pos-sible.
Depending on the nature and seri-ousness of the impact the pre-ten-sioning system may be triggeredbefore and independently of theairbags. In all cases, the airbag warning light comes on. Following an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years. Have it replaced at the end of this period.

AIRBAGSFRONT AIRBAGS* DISARMING THEPASSENGER AIRBAG*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger airbag when you install arearwards-facing child seat on thefront passenger seat.
Remove the ignition key, insert it into the passenger airbag switch 1and
turn it to the Ò OFFÓ position.
One of these two warninglights* on the instrument panelis lit throughout the disarming
procedure.
The airbag system has been designedto maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious collisions.It works in conjunction with the seatbelts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle; if the triggering threshold isreached the airbags inflate instantlyand come between the occupants andthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the
airbags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The airbags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Airbags only operate when the igni- tion is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the
airbags can be a minor irritant. These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. Theyare deployed simultaneously (exceptin cases where the airbag is dis-armed), for frontal impacts wherethere is a risk of injury to the head orchest.
* According to specification.

DRIVING YOUR 306
In the ÒOFFÓ position, the passenger
airbag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear- wards-facing child seat from the frontpassenger seat, turn the airbag switchto the Ò ONÓ position, to arm the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in an impact. Passenger airbag precautions
Vehicle fitted with a passenger airbag disarming switch:
- disarm the airbagif you install a rear-wards-facing childseat on the frontpassenger seat,
- arm the airbag when you trans-port an adult onthe front passen-ger seat.

Never place your feet or any object onthe fascia. Operating check It is indicated by one of the lights on instrument panel. If the passenger airbag is armed (pas- senger airbag switch in the Ò
ONÓ posi-
tion), the light will come on for 6 seconds when the ignition isswitched on. If the passenger airbag is disarmed (passenger airbag switch in the Ò OFFÓ
position), the light will stay on.
