SAFETY
FRONT AIRBAGS
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of
a serious 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
passenger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it 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, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
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.
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. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the

SAFETY
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their weight
, on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying
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.
Child seat at the rear
Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried in the rear
seats in a "forwards-facing" universal ISOFIX child seat.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
"Rearwards-facing"
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 infl ate
.
*
The rules for carrying children are specifi c to each country. Refer to
the current legislation in your country.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front passenger
seat
, adjust the vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave the passenger airbag activated.

For more information on deactivating the airbag, refer to the
"Safety" section then "Airbags".
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
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 tted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level. The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of an accident.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the
seat belt is tightened correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat fi rmly on the vehicle's seat.
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.
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 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 infl ate. 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.
