Lost keys
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.
Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they con-
tain metals which are harmful
to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the
remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when
the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment
by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
However, the vehicle unlocks automatically in the event of a serious impact
causing airbag deployment.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a
very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving
the vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the ve-
hicle.

The driver must ensure that
passengers 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 inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
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 au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a col-
lision, emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling fi rmly on the
strap and releasing it so that it reels
in slightly. 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 need-
ed, 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.
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 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.

AIRBAGS
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may re-
sult in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of a
serious front impact 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
thorax and head of the front occupant
of the vehicle and the steering wheel,
driver's side, and the dashboard, pas-
senger's side to cushion their forward
movement.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B.
Side impact zone.
The airbags do not oper-
ate when the ignition is
switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.
System designed to maximise the safe-
ty of the occupants (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limit-
ing seat belts (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors 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
contribute towards better protection
of the occupants of the vehicle (with
the exception of the rear centre pas-
senger); immediately after the im-
pact, 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 contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these
situations.
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
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.

If even one of the two airbag
warning lamps comes on con-
tinuously, do not install a child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Operating fault
If these warning
lamps come on or
fl ash, accompanied
by an audible warning
and a message in the
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 im-
pact.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
the switch to the "ON"
position to re-
activate the airbag and so assure the
safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warn-
ing lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front air-
bag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if
the passenger's front airbag is
activated.
To assure the safety of your
child, the passenger's front
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 deployed.
According to version, this
warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel and/or in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps
display when the ignition is on and until
the airbag is reactivated.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated.
)
With the ignition off
, insert the key
in the passenger airbag deactivation
switch.
)
Turn it to the "OFF"
position.
