SEAT BELTS
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control on the upper
anchorage and slide the assembly
on the driver's seat side and on the
individual passenger's seat side.
The height of the seat belt for the
centre seat of the front bench cannot
be adjusted.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
into the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning lamp
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
has reeled in correctly and that the
buckle is ready to accommodate the
tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of inflation
of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
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.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.
Unfastening
Press the red button.When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on
if the driver has not fastened
their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.

The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on
if the pretensioners are deployed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.Recommendations for children:
-

use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fifty

,
-

never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened.For more information on child
seats, refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 5.
Clean the seat belt straps with
soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by PEUGEOT


dealers.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
can guarantee all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop: they must not show any
signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be converted or
modified.Front seat belts
The front seats are fitted with
pretensioners and force limiters.
The seat belt associated with the
centre seat of the front bench does not
have a pretensioner.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
-

must restrain one person only

,
-

must not be twisted, check by
pullin

g in front of you with an even
movement,
-

must be tightened as close to the
body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder

.
The lap part should be placed as low
as possible on the pelvis.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
completely. If the seats are fitted with
armrests, the lap part of the seat belt
should always pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap firmly.

AIRBAGS
General information
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
contribute towards better protecting
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 contribute towards your
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.
Airbags

95
Partner-2-VU_en_Chap05_Securite_ed02-2014
Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualified personnel at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk of
injury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
inflation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
inflates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible as
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.
Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
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 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.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed facing rearward.
