IMPORTANT:
For your safety, it is essential that you always sit with your back fully against the backrest.
Front airbags - Precautions ¥
The wearing of seat belts is obligatory.
¥ Never fix nor attach anything to the steering wheel boss; this could cause facial injuries should the airbag be activated.
¥ Do not stow nor allow objects to rest between your body and the airbag.
¥ Never drive with your hands on the centre boss of the steering wheel or holding the branches of the wheel.
¥ Do not smoke in the vehicle (risk of burns or injury should the airbag be deployed).
¥ Do not leave objects on the dashboard which could interfere with the operation of the airbag or cause injury to the passenger when activated.
¥ Make sure that the passenger does not place his feet on the dashboard when the vehicle is in motion.
¥ Children under ten years of age should use the rear seats with appropriate child restraints (see "Child restraints").
¥ For children under ten years of age (see Òchild seatsÓ).
Never install a rear-facing child seat onto the front passenger seat if this seat is fitted with an air bag. The child would risk being killed or seriously injured were the air bag to inflate. In certain instances* a child may be transported in the "forwards-facing"** position on the front passenger seat. In this case, slide thefront passenger seat as far back as possible.
* According to current legislation in France. Consult the relevant government authority in your country for regulations on transporting children in the front passenger seat.
** If the rear seats are already occupied by other children or if the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing or folded down).

FRONT AIRBAG113
Replacing the airbag pyrotechnic systems
They must be checked by a Peugeot dealer every ten years. In accordance with the strict security regulations in force, any repairs or checks must be performed exclusively by the dealer network. Any repairs that have not been carried out in strict compliance with the regulations could prevent the systems from operating correctly or couldcause their premature deployment, with the risk of bodily injuries.
Warning When the airbag(s) is(are) deployed, there is a light discharge of harmless smoke and a loud noise; both are due to the detonation of the explosive cartridge(s) forming part of the airbag system.
This smoke is not toxic but may cause irritation to people suffering from respiratory problems.As a precaution therefore, vacate the vehicle as soon as possible after deployment of an airbag (provided it is safe to do so). If this is not possible, open the windows or doors. The noise associated with the detonation may cause a temporary loss of hearing.These devices can only operate once and cannot provide further protection in the event of a second impact (either during the same collision or in any further collision). It is imperative that the system be repaired by the dealer network.
