   Airbags   
  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 
qualifi ed personnel at a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed 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 infl ates almost instantly (within 
a few milliseconds) then defl ates 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 
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
 Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat 
backs. This could cause injury to the 
chest or arms when the lateral airbag 
infl ates. 
 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. 
 It is imperative that the 
passenger's airbag is deactivated 
if a child seat is installed facing 
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on 
board" section of chapter 4.

   Airbags   
  Front  airbags 
 The front airbags are fi tted in the 
centre of the steering wheel for the 
driver and in the dashboard for the 
front passenger. 
  Deployment 
 They are deployed simultaneously, 
unless the passenger's front airbag 
has been deactivated, in the event of 
a serious front impact applied to all or 
part of the front impact zone  A  in the 
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle 
on a horizontal plane directed from the 
front towards the rear of the vehicle. 
 The front airbag infl ates between the 
front occupant of the vehicle and the 
dashboard to cushion their forward 
movement.     Deactivation 
 Only the passenger's front airbag can 
be deactivated: 
   -    With the ignition switched off , 
insert the key into the passenger's 
airbag deactivation switch, 
  -   turn it to the off   "OFF"   position, 
  -   then remove the key, keeping the  switch in the new position.  
 The airbag warning lamp 
in the instrument panel 
is on while the airbag is 
deactivated.   If the two airbag warning lamps 
are on continuously, do not install 
a rear-facing child seat, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.   
  Front  airbag  fault 
 To ensure the safety of your child, 
it is essential to deactivate the 
passenger's airbag when you 
install a rear-facing child seat on the 
front passenger seat. Otherwise, the 
child would risk being killed or seriously 
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.     Reactivation 
 In the  
"OFF"  position, the passenger's 
airbag will not be deployed in the event 
of an impact. 
 As soon as the child seat is removed, 
turn the airbag switch to the   "ON"  
position to re-activate the airbag and 
so ensure the safety of your passenger 
in the event of an impact.  
 If this warning lamp comes 
on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message 
in the screen, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop to have 
the system checked.

 GENERAL POINTS RELATING 
TO CHILD SEATS 
  Although one of PEUGEOT's main 
criteria when designing your vehicle, 
the safety of your children also 
depends on you. 
 For maximum safety, please follow 
these precautions: 
   -   all children under the age of 12 or less than one metre fi fty 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 the transportation of 
children are the rear seats, 
  -   a child weighing less than 9 kg  must travel in the "rearward facing" 
position both in the front and in the 
rear, 
  -   the passenger must not travel with  a child on their lap.   
  CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT 
  "Rearward  facing" 
 Recommended on the rear seats up to 
the age of 2. 
 When a "rearward 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.     "Forward  facing" 
 Recommended on the rear seats over 
the age of 2. 
 When a "forward facing" child seat is 
installed on the front passenger seat, 
leave the passenger airbag activated.   
  The rules for carrying children are 
specifi c to each country. Consult 
the current legislation in your 
country. 
 Please consult the list of seats 
approved in your country. The Isofi x 
mountings, the rear seats, the 
passenger airbag and the deactivation 
of this airbag depend on the version 
sold.

   Child  safety     Refer to chapter 4, "Airbags" 
section.  
   The child seats function and the 
passenger's airbag deativation 
function are common to the entire 
PEUGEOT range. 
 If the passenger's airbag is not 
deactivated, the installation of a 
"rearward facing" child seat in the front 
is strictly prohibited.          Passenger  airbag  OFF

   Child  safety   
 ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS 
 The incorrect installation of a child seat 
in a vehicle compromises the child's 
protection in the event of an accident. 
 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. 
 If the head restraint has to be removed, 
ensure that it is stored or attached 
securely to prevent it from being 
thrown around the vehicle in the event 
of sharp braking. 
 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's airbag 
when a "rearward 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.  
  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.  
 CHILD  LOCK 
  This prevents opening of the side 
doors from the inside.    Manual  mode 
 A label indicates the location of the 
child lock. 
   -   Open fully past the point of 
resistance. 
  -   Tilt the lever, located on the rear  section of the door.   
  Electric  mode   With the ignition on, press 
this button. The LED comes 
on. 
  Warning: this system is 
independent of the central 
locking control. 
 Always remove the ignition key when 
leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time. 
 It is advisable to check the activation of 
the child lock each time the ignition is 
switched on. 
 In the event of a serious impact the 
electric child lock is deactivated 
automatically.   
 To prevent accidental opening of the 
doors, use the "Child Lock". 
 Take care not to open the rear windows 
by more than one third. 
 To protect young children from the rays 
of the sun, fi t side blinds to the rear 
windows.
