SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , p e r p e n -
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
o f t h e v e h i c l e , o n a h o r i z o n t a l p l a n e
and from the outside of the vehicle
t o w a r d s t h e i n s i d e . T h e s i d e a i r b a g
i n l a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
w h i c h t h e f r o n t s i d e a i r b a g s o f f e r t h e
front passengers. If the passenger air bag is
d i s a r m e d , t h e w a r n i n g l i g h t

mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.

impact or bump on the side of the ve-

air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag

Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
t i o n o f s e a t b e l t s w i t h p r e - t e n s i o n e r
and force limiter for the front seats.

The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.
