SAFETY
Side airbags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous side impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the pelvis, chest and head.
The side airbags are incorporated on
the door side:
- in the front seat back frame (chest-pelvis airbag),
- in the front head restraint (head air- bag).
Activation
The side airbags are triggered unilater-
ally in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact
zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the outside to-
wards the inside of the vehicle.
The side airbags infl ate between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel. Operating fault
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone. If this warning lamp on the in-
strument panel comes on, ac-
companied by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function screen, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be triggered in
the event of a serious impact. In the event of a light impact or
bump to the side of the vehicle of
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags
may not be triggered.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the airbags are not triggered.

SAFETY
For the airbags 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 airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates
almost instantly (within a few millisec-
onds) then defl ates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via open-
ings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
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 dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side airbags
Fit only approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder infl ation of the side
airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms if the side airbag is triggered.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the front head restraints. This could cause injury
to the head if the side airbag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.

SAFETY

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT USING A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated.
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the
front passenger seat ,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
* The rules for transporting children are specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight , on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transportation
of children are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rmly
on the vehicle's seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses
keeping
the
slack in relation to the child's body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
on the front seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
Do not use the passenger's "AIRWAVE"
system if a child seat is installed on
the front seat.

SAFETY
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
protection of the child in the event
of a collision.
To fi nd out the options for installing
ISOFIX child seats in your vehicle,
consult the summary table for the
location of the ISOFIX child seats. "ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-
tees reliable, safe and fast fi tting of the
child seat in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is approved with regulation
ISOFIX mountings.
The diagram below indicates the seats
which are fi tted with these mountings:
These are two rings
A for each seat, lo-
cated between the seat back and seat
cushion of the vehicle's seat, indicated
by a label.

The ISOFIX child seats are fi tted with
two locks which are secured easily on
these rings A .
