Airbags
SAFETY
4
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the centre seats of
rows 2 and 3) in the event of a serious
collision; they work in conjunction with the
force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, 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 inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.


- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. It is imperative that the passenger
airbag is disarmed if a child seat is
installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The triggering of an airbag or 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 sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Good practice

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 hinder the operation of
the airbags or injure 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 is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel at a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on the seats.
These will not hinder inflation of the lateral
airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their feet
on the dashboard, they risk serious injury if
the airbag is deployed.
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.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned 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. In fact, the
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

Curtain airbags
Do not fix or glue anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head when the
curtain airbag inflates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed
on the roof, they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO
CHILD SEATS

"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger airbag armed.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT


The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Consult the current legislation
in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:


- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of 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,

- the passenger must not travel with
a child on his lap.

Child safety

Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.
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, fitted with
a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

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 keeping the slack
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
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 securely
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 "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more 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,
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, fit side blinds to the rear windows.
