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.

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.
