non-reflective zones located either side 
of the base of the interior mirror. 
  They are intended for affixing toll cards 
and/or car park tickets.  
SEATING AREA FITTINGS 
 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, 
the various fittings below enhance your 
seating area. 
   
12 volt socket 
 
This operates with the ignition off, 
so limit its use to avoid discharging 
the battery. 
  Maximum power: 120 W.     To prevent the mat from becoming caught 
under the pedals: 
   
 
-   only use mats suited to the fixings 
already present in the vehicle. It is 
imperative that these fixings are used. 
   
-   never fit one mat on top of another.  
 
Grab handle    
Cup holder 
 
Any liquid carried in an open receptacle 
(cup or other) may be spilt, presenting a 
risk. "Take care".

mirror, enables the driver or front passenger 
to observe all the rear seats. 
  Fitted on its own ball joint, it’s manual 
adjustment is simple and provides a view 
of the rear interior of the vehicle.

Height adjustment
 
Squeeze the control with the return and slide 
the assembly on the driver's seat side and 
on the individual passenger seat side. 
  If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench, 
the height of the seat belt associated with 
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.  
Unfastening
 
Press the red button. 
 SEAT BELTS
 
 
Good practice
 
The driver must ensure that passengers use 
the seat belts correctly and that they are all 
strapped in securely before moving off. 
  Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, 
always fasten your seat belt, even for short 
journeys. 
  The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel 
which automatically adjusts the length of the 
strap to your size. 
  Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips, 
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt 
straps to fit loosely. 
  Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in 
correctly after use. 
  After folding or moving a seat or a rear 
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has 
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is 
ready to accommodate the tongue. 
  Depending on the nature and seriousness 
of any impact, the pretensioning device may 
be deployed before and independently of 
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens 
the seat belts against the body of the 
occupants. Deployment of the pretensioners 
is accompanied by a slight discharge of 
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the 
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge 
incorporated in the system. 
   
Fastening 
 
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the 
buckle. 
  Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly 
by pulling the strap.     
Driver's seat belt not fastened 
warning lamp 
  When the vehicle is started, this 
warning lamp comes on if the 
driver has not fastened their seat 
belt.  
   
Passenger seat belt not 
fastened warning lamp 
  If your vehicle is fitted with a front 
passenger seat, when the vehicle 
is started, this warning lamp 
comes on if the passenger has not fastened 
their seat belt.

IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY 
 
In situations of extreme transverse 
acceleration, this module limits the risks 
of the vehicle rolling over by acting on 
the brakes.  
 
 
Roll Over Mitigation *  
 
This system, linked with the ESP, 
supplements  the ABS-EBFD, ASR-ESP  and 
EBA braking functions, already covered in 
this document, to guarantee a high level 
of active safety. Indeed, the ROM system 
was intended originally for top-of-the-range 
4x4 type vehicles and today it is fitted on 
your vehicle.

Airbags
SAFETY
4
   
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 attach 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.
