SAFETY
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 injure the
occupants.
*
According to country.
Knee airbag *
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if 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 fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if
the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
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 dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of minor burns to the head, chest
or arms when an airbag is deployed
cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates
almost instantly (within a few mil-
liseconds) then defl ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
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.
If possible, do not smoke 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.
