''Isofix''mountings Available on the two side rear seats,
and as an accessory on the front passenger seat*, the Isofix moun-tings allow for fitting of a special
child seat , approved by UTAC 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. In the front
, the child seat must be
fitted:
- either in the "rear facing" position for children weighing between
3 and 11 kg front seat as far for-
ward as possible so that the body
of the child seat is in contact withor as close as possible to the ins-
trument panel. This position thuslimits movement of the child seat inthe event of an accident.
- or exceptionally the child seat may be fitted in the 'forwards facing'position if the rear seats are alrea-dy occupied by other children or ifthe rear seats cannot be used (notpresent, folded). In this case, usethe Isofix mountings, the restrai-ning cushion and the seat belt andadjust the front passenger seat tothe "mid-travel" position.
In both cases it is imperative todisarm the passenger air bag. In the rear , the child seat may be fit-
ted in the "rear facing" or "forwards facing" position. In this case the
front seat is in the intermediatelongitudinal position, seat backupright .
The combined use of the Isofixmountings, the restraining cushionand the seat belt is compulsory for aseat fitted "facing forward".

Front air bag malfunctionIf this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer and the message "Air
bag fault" on the multifunc-
tion 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 occupantsin the event of serious collisions;they work in conjunction with theforce limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record and ana-lyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle: if the triggering threshold isreached, the air bags inflate instantlyand protect the occupants of thevehicle. 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 operate only when the ignition is switched on. Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags 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.
