For the front and side airbags* 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 ifascia).
¥ Do not leave any accessories, objects or pets between the occupants and the air bags. It 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 an approved PEUGEOT dealer.
¥ After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.
¥ The air bag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years from the date of registration of thevehicle. Have them replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer after this period.
Front airbags
¥ Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
¥ Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
¥ Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side airbags*
¥ Only put approved covers on the seats. Contact your PEUGEOT dealer. ¥ Do not fix or glue anything to the backs of the front seats. 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.
Curtain air bags*
¥ Do not fasten or glue anything to the door pillars or to the roof as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag inflates.
¥ Do not remove the bolts from the handles on the roof; they help to secure the curtain air bags.
