CHILD RESTRAINTS116
In certain instances* a child may be transported in the "forwards-
facing"** position on the front passenger seat. In this case, slide the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
Peugeot greatly recommend that your children be transported in the rear of your vehicle, even when in a Òrear-facingÓ child seat.
Young children should not be consi- dered as small adults; until the ageof 7 or 8 the ratio of head weight to
body weight is different to that ofadults. During violent deceleration or an impact, the weight of the head andthe relative weakness of the neckmuscles can cause serious spinal
injury. It is only from the age of approxi-
mately 10 or a height of 4Õ 6Ó (1.35m) that children can use the samemeans of restraint as an adult. This is why most countries legislate on the means of transporting chil-dren, and the sale and use of safe-ty equipment suitable for theirweight. On the advice of specialists in acci-
dentology, Peugeot recommendsthe following systems*.
* Contact your dealer for a list of
specially recommended child seats.
** According to current legislation in the country.

¥ When the number of children is such that they cannot all be transported in the rear.
So that your children travel in complete safety whatever their age ,
Peugeot has tested and selected a range of approved restraining equipment,
designed to offer maximum protection in the event of an impact. This is avai-lable within the Peugeot network. From 6 to 10 years

special child
seat , sold within the PEUGEOT

assembly.

SEAT BELTS114
Replacing the pyrotechnic pretensioner systems
They must be replaced following deployment or within ten years after first
registration of the vehicle. This must be done by the dealer network. 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 pretensioners are deployed, there is a light dischargeof harmless smoke and a loudnoise, both due to the detonation ofthe integral explosive cartridgesthat activate them.
22-04-2003
Seat belts equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners and grabbers
¥ The purpose of the pretensioners is to tension the front seat belts in such a
way as to pull the occupants back into their seat, thereby improving the seat
belt's effectiveness.
¥ As the pretensioners activate, the seat belt grabber locks the belt. As the seat belt locks, only a very slight extension of the belt takes place and fur-ther forward movement of the occupant during the impact is restricted.
In the event of an accident or violent braking, the seat belt will restrain theoccupants and prevent them from being thrown from the vehicle. It is for this reason that legislation demands that both front and rear seat occu- pants wear a seat belt, including pregnant women.

SEAT BELTS115
- Make all seat belt adjustments when the vehicle is stationary.
- Do not allow the seat belt to rest on any hard or breakable objectsin your pockets.
- Do not use any type of clip or clamp which would prevent the seat belt from tensioning correctly.
- Never use the same seat belt for more than one occupant.
- Never carry a child on your lap.
- Check the seat belts and attachments regularly for cleanliness.
- Have the seat belts checked periodically by your dealer, especially after an accident (even if only minor).
To put on the seat belts: Grip the buckle and withdraw the seat belt smoothly across yourbody making sure that it is not twis-ted. Insert the buckle tongue into itsfixed section of the buckle and pushhome to lock. Pull to check that issecurely located. The lap strap must be positioned as low as possible across the pelvisand should be as tight as possible. The backrest of the seat should be as close to vertical as possible toavoid any risk of slipping beneaththe belt in an impact.

¥ 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).
