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 buck-
les 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 collision,
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 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. 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 serious-
ness of the impact , the pretensioning
device may be deployed before and in-
dependently of the airbags. 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.
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 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 instanta-
neously and contribute towards pro-
tecting the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the
airbags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants 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 con-
tributes towards providing your pro-
tection in these situations. The deployment of one or more
airbags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic 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.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the pas-
senger's front airbag it it has been deacti-
vated, 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 tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's
side, and the dashboard, passenger's side
to cushion their forward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
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 acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate. 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.

SAFETY
Operating fault If this warning lamp comes on
or fl ash, accompanied by an
audible warning and a mes-
sage in the 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.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, with
the ignition off, turn the control switch
to the "ON" position to reactivate the
airbag and so assure the safety of your
front passenger in the event of an im-
pact.
On switching the ignition on,
this warning lamp comes on in
the seat belt and passenger's
front airbag warning lamps dis-
play for approximately one minute, so
as to signal the activation of the pas-
senger's front airbag. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated when you install a
"rearward facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.
On switching on the ignition this
warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front
airbag warning lamps display. It
stays on until the airbag is re-
activated.
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.
 Then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
