CHILD SAFETY
   
PEUGEOT recommends 
 that chil-
dren should travel in the  rear seats 
 
of your vehicle: 
   
 
-   "rearwards-facing" 
 up to the 
age of 2, 
   
-   "forwards-facing" 
 over the age 
of 2.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GENERAL POINTS RELATING 
TO CHILD SEATS   CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT  
 
 
"Forwards-facing" 
  When a "forwards-facing" child seat is 
installed on the  front passenger seat 
, 
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat 
back upright and leave the passenger 
airbag activated.      
"Rearwards-facing" 
  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 infl ate 
.  
   
*   
 
The rules for carrying children are 
specifi c to each country. Refer to the 
current legislation in your country.     Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria 
when designing your vehicle, the safety of 
your children also depends on you. 
  For maximum safety, please observe 
the following recommendations: 
   
 
-   in accordance with European regu-
lations,  all children under the age 
of 12 or less than one and a half 
metres tall must travel in  approved child seats suited to their weight 
, 
on seats fi tted 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. 
 
 
   
Intermediate longitudinal position

CHILD 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.

CHILD SAFETY
  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 tted 
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level. 
  As a safety precaution, do not leave: 
   
 
-   a child or children alone and 
unsupervised 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 win-
dows by more than one third. 
  To protect young children from the 
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the 
rear windows.  
    The incorrect installation of a child 
seat in a vehicle compromises the 
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident. 
  Remember to fasten the seat belts or 
the child seat harnesses keeping 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 "forwards-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 removed, 
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown 
around the vehicle in the event of sharp 
braking.   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.

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. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Knee airbag *  
 
System which protects the driver's 
knees in the event of a serious front 
impact. 
  This airbag is incorporated in the dash-
board below the steering column. 
   
Activation 
  It is deployed at the same time as the 
front airbags.  
     
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 warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat 
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for 
approximately one minute, if the pas-
senger'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 dis-
play, 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.
