CHILD SAFETY
Passenger airbag OFF
Refer to the advice given on the label pres-
ent on both sides of the passenger'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 posi-
tion 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.
5
CHILD SAFETY
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises 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, en-
sure 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 "for-
ward 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's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat. Other-
wise, the child would risk being se-
riously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.
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 t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and un-
supervised 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, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
CHILD LOCK

Mechanical system to prevent open-
ing of the rear doors using their interior
controls.
The control is located on the edge of
each rear door.

SAFETY
The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment of the length of the strap
to your size. The seat belt is stowed
automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned
in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision, emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can re-
lease the device by pulling fi rmly on
the strap and releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap. In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:
- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
- be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
-
be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment needed,
which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to
provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop, particularly if the
straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not operate.
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.
Deployment
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
longitudinal 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.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of
the pyrotechnic cartridge incor-
porated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may expe-
rience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detec-
tors record and analyse the front and side
impacts sustained in the impact detection
zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear cen-
tre passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-
vide optimum protection in these
situations.
6
SAFETY
If the airbag warning lamp and
the display come on continuous-
ly, do not install a "rear facing"
child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on on the in-
strument panel and this display appears
on the instrument panel screen, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop to have the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact. To ensure the safety of your
child, the passenger's airbag
must be deactivated when you
install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were triggered.
This warning lamp comes on in the centre
console panel when the ignition is on and
until the airbag is reactivated.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch A
to the "ON"
position to reacti-
vate the airbag and so ensure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of an
impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can
be deactivated:
)
with the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactiva-
tion switch A
,
)
turn it to the "OFF"
position,
)
remove the key.
