SAFETY
   
 
 
 
 
The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and 
that they are all restrained securely 
before setting off. 
  Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt, 
even for short journeys. 
  Do not interchange the seat belt 
buckles as they will not fulfi l their role 
fully. 
  The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia 
reel permitting automatic adjustment 
of the length of the strap to your size. 
The seat belt is stowed 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 au-
tomatic locking device which comes 
into operation in the event of a collision, 
emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls 
over. You can release the device by 
pulling fi rmly on the strap and releasing 
it so that it reels in slightly.   In order to be effective, a seat belt 
must: 
   
 
-   be tightened as close to the body 
as possible, 
   
-   be pulled in front of you with a 
smooth movement, checking that 
it does not twist, 
   
-   be used to restrain only one person, 
   
-   not bear any trace of cuts or fraying, 
   
-   not be converted or modifi ed  to 
avoid affecting its performance.  
  In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all repairs on your 
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed  workshop 
with the skills and equipment needed, 
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to 
provide. 
  Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop, 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 reeled in correctly.     
Recommendations for children 
  Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or 
shorter than one and a half metres. 
  Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person. 
  Never allow a child to travel on your 
lap.  
   
In the event of an impact 
   
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact 
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed 
before and independently of the 
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight 
discharge of harmless smoke and 
a noise, due to the activation of the 
pyrotechnic cartridge 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.

SAFETY
   
 
 
 
 
AIRBAGS 
 
The airbags have been designed to max-
imise the safety of the occupants in the 
event of violent collisions. They supple-
ment the action of the force-limiting seat 
belts. 
  In this case, the electronic detectors 
record and analyse the front and side 
impacts suffered in the impact detection 
zones: 
   
 
-   in the event of a serious impact, 
the airbags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants 
of the vehicle; immediately after the 
impact, the airbags defl ate  rapidly 
so that they do not hinder the visibil-
ity of the occupants or their possible 
exit from the vehicle, 
   
-   in the event of a minor impact or 
rear impact and in certain roll-over 
conditions, the airbags will not be 
deployed; the seat belt alone is suf-
fi cient to provide maximum protec-
tion in these situations.  
 
  The deployment of one or more 
airbags is accompanied by a slight 
discharge of harmless smoke and 
a noise, due to the activation of the 
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated 
in the system. 
  This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience 
some irritation. 
  The noise of the detonation may 
result in a slight loss of hearing for 
a short time.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Front airbags 
 
System which protects the driver and 
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk 
of injury to the head and thorax. 
  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. 
   
Deployment 
  The airbags are deployed simultaneously, 
unless the passenger's front airbag is de-
activated, in the event of a serious front im-
pact to all or part of the front impact zone  A 
, 
in the longitudinal 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 tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the 
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's 
side, and the dashboard, passenger's 
side to cushion their forward movement.      
Impact detection zones 
   
 
A. 
  Front impact zone. 
   
B. 
  Side impact zone.  
   
 
The airbags do not operate when 
the ignition is off. 
 
  This equipment only operates once. 
If a second impact occurs (during 
the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate.

SAFETY
  If even one of the two airbag warn-
ing lamps comes on continuously, 
do not install a child seat on the 
front passenger seat. 
  Have the system 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 screen, con-
tact 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. 
   
Reactivation 
  When you remove the child seat, turn 
the switch to the  "ON" 
 position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the 
safety of your front passenger in the 
event of an impact.   With the ignition on, this warning 
lamp comes on in the seat belt and 
passenger's front airbag warning 
lamps display for approximately 
one minute, if the passenger's front airbag 
is activated.  
 
To assure the safety of your child, 
the passenger's front airbag must 
be 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 in the in-
strument panel and/or in the 
seat belt and passenger's front 
airbag warning lamps display when the 
ignition is on and until the airbag is re-
activated.   If this warning lamp fl  ashes in the 
instrument panel and/or in the 
seat belt and passenger's front 
airbag warning lamps display, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop. The passenger's 
front airbag may no longer be deployed 
in the event of a serious impact.     
Deactivation 
  Only the passenger's front airbag can 
be deactivated: 
   
 
 ) 
  with the ignition off 
, insert the key 
in the passenger airbag deactivation 
switch, 
   
 ) 
  turn it to the  "OFF" 
 position, 
   
 ) 
  then, remove the key keeping the 
switch in the new position.

SAFETY
   
 
Passenger airbag OFF   
 
Refer to the advice given on the label 
present on both sides of the passen-
ger's sun visor.  
   
To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's front 
airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position on the 
front passenger's seat. 
  Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if 
the airbag were deployed.
