SAFETY
Airbags
Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; 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.
Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the front seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

QUICK HELP

Refitting the repaired wheel
Refitting the repaired wheel is the same as
fitting the spare wheel; don't forget to refit
the wheel trim. Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section for the
location of the tyre pressure label.
The spare wheel is not designed to be used
over long distances. Have the tightening
of the bolts and pressure of the spare
wheel checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.
Also, have the original wheel repaired and
refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Fitting the spare wheel
- Put the spare wheel in place on the hub and start screwing in the bolts by hand.
- Carry out an initial tightening of the bolts using the wheelbrace E .
- Lower the vehicle completely by folding the jack, then remove the jack.
- Tighten the bolts again using the wheelbrace E , tighten them fully without
forcing them.
- Stow the wheel to be repaired at the rear of the vehicle. - Hook the support H
and screw in the
handle G .
- Insert the long socket A in the hole then
wind the bolt fully, using the ratchet
wrench B , to raise the wheel.
- Stow the tools and the trim.
If you have a retractable foot board, the jack
must be positioned at 45°.
- Extend the jack using the ratchet wrench B until the wheel is a few
centimetres off the ground.
- Unscrew the bolts fully and remove the wheel to be repaired.
