SAFETY
AIRBAGS The airbags 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 subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not operate. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
T h e d r i v e r ' s a i r b a g i s fi t t e d i n t h e c e n t r e
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
g e r ' s a i r b a g i s fi t t e d i n t h e d a s h b o a r d
above the glove box.
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is deactivated, in the event of a se-
rious front impact applied to all or part
of the front impact zone
A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal 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
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the airbag(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
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.
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 de-
tectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the im-
pact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle (with the exception of the rear
centre passenger); immediately af-
t e r t h e i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e
rapidly so that they do not hinder vis-
ibility or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be triggered; the

SAFETY
If the airbag warning lamp and
the display come on continuous-
ly, do not install a "rear facing"
child seat on the front passen-
ger seat.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on the
instrument panel and this display ap-
pears on the instrument panel screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked. The airbags may no
longer be triggered in the event of a se-
rious impact.
To ensure the safety of your
child, the passenger airbag must
be deactivated when you install
a "rear facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were triggered.
This warning lamp comes on on the cen-
tre console front panel when the ignition
is on and until the airbag is reactivated. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
A to the "ON" position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so ensure the safe-
ty of your front passenger in the event
of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:
with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag deactiva-
tion switch A ,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
remove the key.
