"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS The rear right side seat and the rear centre seat of your vehicle are fittedwith ISOFIX mountings . These are
two rings located between the seatback and the seat cushion. The ISOFIX child seats are fitted
with two locks which are secured easily on these rings. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises thechild's protection in the event of acollision. This ISOFIX mounting system gua- rantees safe, reliable and fast instal-lation of the child seat in yourvehicle. The special approved child seat is
the Isofix KIDDY seat. It can be fittedin the "rear facing" position frombirth to 13 kg and "forwards facing"from 9 to 18 kg. In the "forwards facing" position, the combined use of the Isofix moun-tings, the restraining cushion and
the seat belt is compulsory. In the "rear facing" position, use both the Isofix mountings and thechild seat harness. In both cases, it is essential to adjust the
front seat to the intermediate
longitudinal position, seat backupright .
On the rear centre seat, the "for-wards facing" position only ispermitted. This seat can also be used on seatsnot fitted with ISOFIX mountings. Inthis case, it is compulsory to attachit to the vehicle's seat by means ofthe three-point seat belt.
When the Isofix KIDDY seat is fit- ted in the "rear facing" positionon the front passenger seat, it isessential to disarm the passengerair bag. The child would risk being killed or seriously injured if the air bagwere to inflate. Follow the instructions for fitting the child seat in the manufactu-rer's instruction booklet.

SEAT BELTS Seat belt height adjustment:
To lower or raise: slide the control downwards or upwards. Locking the seat belts Pull the strap, then insert the end into the buckle. Front seat belts with pre- tensioner Safety in the event of frontal impacts has been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning seat belts forthe front seats. Depending on the seriousness of the impact, the pre-tensioning system instantly tightens the seatbelts and pulls them against thebodies of the occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with three three-point inertia reel seat belts(two-part rear seat, 1/3 - 2/3).
To be effective, a seat belt must be tightened asclose to the body as possible.
Depending on the nature andseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system may betriggered before and indepen-dently of the air bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light on the instrument panelcomes on. Following a collision, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

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 passengerair bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes onon the instrument panel, accompanied by an audiblesignal, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the systemchecked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of serious
collisions. They work in conjunctionwith the pretensioning seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt decelerationof the vehicle: if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bagsinflate instantly and protect theoccupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occupants nor their exit if necessaryfrom the vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of minor collisions, for which
the seat belt is sufficient to ensure
maximum protection. The serious-ness of a collision depends on thenature of the obstacle and the speedof the vehicle at the moment ofimpact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.
