SAFETY
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving. All repairs and changing of tyres
o n a w h e e l fi t t e d w i t h t h i s s y s t e m
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you in-
stall a wheel which is not detected
b y y o u r v e h i c l e ( e x a m p l e : fi t t i n g
of snow tyres), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pres-
sure checked regularly (refer to the
" I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " p a r a g r a p h )
to ensure that the optimum dynamic
performance of the vehicle is main-
tained and prevent premature wear
of the tyres, particularly in arduous
driving conditions (heavy load, high
speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Re-
member to check the pressure of
the spare wheel.

AIR BAGS
S y s t e m d e s i g n e d t o m a x i m i s e t h e s a f e t y
o f t h e o c c u p a n t s ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts
( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e
passenger); immediately after the
i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y
so that they do not hinder visibility or
t h e e x i t o f t h e o c c u p a n t s ,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
air bags will not be triggered; the
s e a t b e l t a l o n e i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o -
vide optimum protection in these
situations. Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front air bags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's air bag is incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's air bag is incorporated in
t h e f a s c i a a b o v e t h e g l o v e b o x .
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the longitu-
dinal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal plane and directed from the front
to the rear of the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not oper-
ate.

SAFETY
If at least one of the two air bag
warning lights come on continu-
ously, do not install a child seat on
the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating fault If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact. Steering column air bag *
System which protects the driver's
knees in the event of a serious front im-
pact.
This air bag is incorporated in the fascia
below the steering column.
Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
1 to the "ON" position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing light comes on on the seat
belt and passenger's front air
bag warning lights display for
a p p r o x i m a t e l y o n e m i n u t e , i f t h e p a s -
senger's front air bag is activated. To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the pas-
senger's front air bag is disarmed
when you install a "rear facing"
child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were triggered.
According to version, this warn-
ing light comes on either on the
instrument panel or on the seat
belt and passenger's front air bag
warning lights display when the ignition is
on and until the air bag is re-armed. I f t h i s w a r n i n g l i g h t fl a s h e s ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The passenger's front air bag
may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front air bag can
be disarmed:
with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag disarming
switch 1 ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.

For the air bags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Steering column air bag *
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.
