PEUGEOT

recommends
that chil-
dren should travel in these positions:


- "rearwards-facing"
up to the
age of 2 on the front passen-
ger seat
,

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2 on the rear side seat
.
For further details, see section
"Locations for child seats secured
using a seat belt".
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these recommendations:


- in accordance with European regu-
lations, all children under the age
of 12 or less than one metre fi fty
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 carying children
are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.


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
.

Intermediate longitudinal
position

The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Consult the
current legislation in your country.

CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED
BY PEUGEOT

PEUGEOT offers a range of child seats
which are secured using a three point
seat belt
:


Group
0:
from
birth to 10 kg


Group
0
+:
from
birth to 13 kg



"RÖMER Baby-Safe
Plus"
Installed in the rear-
facing position.


Groups 2 and 3: from 15 to 36 kg



"KLIPPAN Optima"
From the age
of 6 years
(approximately 22 kg),
the booster is used on
its own.
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 passen-
ger'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.

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.
To install a child seat with the seat
belt, check that the belt has tight-
ened on the child seat and that the
child seat is held fi rmly against the
vehicle's seat. If your passenger
seat is adjustable, move it forwards
if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in con-
tact 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 re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder with-
out 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:


- 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.

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.
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 infl ate.

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement 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 instantane-
ously 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 suffi -
cient to provide maximum protection
in these situations.



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
accident), the airbag will not operate.
Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.










Front airbags

System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
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.

Operation
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of a
serious front impact applied to all or part
of the front impact zone A
, in the lon-
gitudinal 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
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement. 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.

SAFETY
102
To assure the safety of your child,
it is imperative that the passenger's
airbag is deactivated when you in-
stall 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.
If both airbag warning lamps come
on continuously, do not install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:


)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch 1
,

)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,

)
then, remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
According to version, this warn-
ing lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or in the cen-
tral panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reac-
tivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch 1
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so assure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible warning and
a message in the multifunction
screen, contact 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.
