and that the automatic locking system is
operating correctly by pulling the strap rapidly.

SAFETY
Seat belts
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening. Good practice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always
fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of
the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which permit a clearance
with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
triggered. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
- restrain one person only,
- must not be twisted, check by pulling in front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the seats are fitted with armrests, the lap
part of the seat belt should always pass
under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap, even with the seat belt fastened.
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Child safety" section of
chapter 5.
Your PEUGEOT dealer can ensure that
all work or any checks, from testing to
maintenance on your seat belt equipment
meets current regulations.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT
dealer: they must not show any signs of
wear, cutting or fraying and they must not be
converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.

chapter 4, then on the "Passenger
airbag" menu, select OFF . When
OFF is selected, the passenger airbag
will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure
the safety of your passenger in the event of
an impact.
Lateral airbags and curtain airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backs on
the door side.
The curtain airbags are fitted to the door
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment, in the roof over the front
cab seats.
They inflate between the occupant and
the glass.
They are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
The airbag warning lamp on the
instrument panel remains on
while the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passenger airbag
when you install a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
If your vehicle is not fitted with this
equipment: do not install a rear-facing child
seat.
Deactivation check
This is confirmed by lighting of
this warning lamp each time the
engine is started.
If your vehicle is fitted
with this screen, the

SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front,
lateral
and curtain
airbags
, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

Child safety
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on their lap.
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats
up to the age of 2.
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 inflate. "Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats
over the age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger airbag activated.

SAFETY
Child safety
Refer to chapter 5, "Airbags" section.
The child seats function and the
passenger airbag deactivation function
are common to the entire PEUGEOT range.
If the passenger airbag is not deactivated,
the installation of a "rearwards-facing" child
seat in the front is strictly prohibited.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
passenger airbag must be deactivated using
the trip computer MODE button. The rules for carrying children are
specific to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.
