Rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat** Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe intermediate position and leavethe passenger air bag armed. The transportation of children in the rearwards facing position is permit-ted. In this position, it is essential todisarm the passenger air bag.Otherwise, the child would risk beingkilled or seriously injured if the airbag were to inflate.GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
- Since 1992,
all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt.
- A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearwards facing
position both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends thatchildren should travel in the "rearwards facing" position up to the age oftwo.
- Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children are the rear seats. PEUGEOT recommends that children travel inthe rear even when a "rearwards facing" child seat is used.
- If a child is travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat belt passes over the child's thighs correctly. The chest section of the seat beltmust be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
PEUGEOT recommends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with aseat belt guide at shoulder level.
- Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** Consult the relevant administration in your country for information regarding the rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat.

"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.

the fascia for the front passenger.

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.
