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. 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 relative to the child's
body to a minimum, even for short
journeys.
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 seat of your
vehicle. Move the seat forwards if
necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-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.
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. As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- a child or children alone and un-
supervised 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 and rear windows, use
the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on
the rear windows.
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already
occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-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.

The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the seat belts cor-
rectly and that they are all properly
restrained before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stored
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that
the seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on
the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it.

*
According to model. In order to be effective, a seat belt:


- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,

- must restrain one adult only,

- must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

- must be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that it
does not twist,

- must not be transformed or modifi ed
to avoid altering its performance.
In accordance with current safety regu-
lations, all repairs and checks must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer who
can guarantee that the work is carried
out correctly, or qualifi ed workshop.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop and particularly if the straps
show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and rolled up correctly.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fi fty,

- do not use the strap-guide * when
a child seat is installed,

- never use the same seat belt to
secure more than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on
your lap.

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts
, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air-
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

AIRBAGS


The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), 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.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Operation
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of a
serious 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.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(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-
sitive individuals may experience
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 impact
detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
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
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.

If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact. To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passen-
ger's airbag is deactivated 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
airbag were deployed.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or in the central
panel when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch 1
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so assure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.

Lateral 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 chest.
Each lateral airbag is fi tted in the front
seat back frame, on the door side.

Operation
It is deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone B
, per-
pendicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and
directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.


Curtain airbags *

System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact in order to limit the
risk of head injuries.
Each curtain airbag is fi tted in the pil-
lars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment. If this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Operating fault
Operation
It is deployed at the same time as the
corresponding lateral airbag in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B
, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane and
directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag
may not be deployed.
The airbag is not deployed in the
event of a rear or front collision.

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 as 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 seats, compatible with deployment of the lateral air-
bags. To see the range of compatible seat covers for your vehicle, visit a PEUGEOT
dealer (see "Practical information § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

Curtain airbags *
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head when
the curtain airbag infl ates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.













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 in-
jure 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 must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned above are observed, a risk of
injury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is de-
ployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then
defl ates within the same time dis-
charging hot gas via the openings
provided for this purpose.
