Airbags

SAFETY
4

The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants 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's
airbag is deactivated 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.

AIRBAGS

This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment 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.

96
Airbags
Deactivating
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
, insert
the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.


Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger's
airbag will not be deployed in the event of
an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON"
position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact. To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag has been
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 directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
Front airbag fault
If the two airbag warning lamps are
on continuously, do not install a rear-
facing child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.

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
deactivated. 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 activated.



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.

98


Child safety


The child seats function and the
passenger's airbag deativation function
are common to the entire PEUGEOT range.
If the passenger's airbag is not deactivated,
the installation of a "rearwards-facing" child
seat in the front is strictly prohibited.

Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags" section.

Passenger airbag OFF

Refer to the advice given on the label
present 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 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.
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.
Deactivate the passenger's 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.
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.


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.
