To lower the attachment point, pull the
control towards you and slide it down-
wards.

Unfastening the seat belts
Press the red button on the buckle.
Front seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter *
Safety in the event of front impacts has
been improved by the introduction of
seat belts with pre-tensioner and force
limiter for the front seats. Depending on
the seriousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts and pulls them against the
bodies of the occupants. Rear seat belts

inertia reel seat belts.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure of
the seat belt against the chest of the oc-
cupant so increasing his protection.
* According to model.
The warning light comes on each time
the ignition is switched on.
The warning light remains on until the
driver fastens his seat belt.

AIR BAGS
Front air bags
Impact detection zones
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors 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
(with the exception of the rear centre
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
the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
air bags will not be triggered; the seat

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
operate.
A. Front impact zone.

to the head and chest.
The air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front pas-
senger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously in
the event of a serious front impact ap-
plied to all or part of the front impact
zone
A in the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane direct-
ed from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.

front occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
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 pyro-
technic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

SAFETY
62
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harnesses keep-
ing the slack in relation to the
child's body to a minimum , even
f o r s h o r t j o u r n e y s .
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact with the back of the vehicle's
seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forward facing"
position on the front passenger
seat, unless the rear seats are al-
ready occupied by other children,
cannot be used or are absent. 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 b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , 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.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
rear windows.
CHILD SAFETY LOCK
On each rear door this prevents opening
of the door from the inside.
Turn switch 1 an eighth turn (45 degrees)
towards the inside of the vehicle using
the ignition key.
Check that the safety lock is engaged
correctly. The switch 1 should no longer
be in the vertical position.

H a v e t h e fi l t e r e l e m e n t s r e -
placed regularly.
If you drive
in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often. Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to check the thickness
of the pads, even between services.
Where the handbrake travel is
too great or there is a reduc-
tion in the performance of the
system, the handbrake should
be adjusted, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a
P E U G E O T d e a l e r .
For any information relating to
checking the wear of the brake
discs and/or drums, contact a
P E U G E O T d e a l e r . C h a n g e t h e fi l t e r r e g u l a r l y , i n
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
This does not require an oil
change. Check the level in ac-
cordance with the manufactur-
er's servicing schedule.
