C
heck that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection. When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, if the driver has not
fastened their seat belt.
Seat belt not fastened /
unfastened warning lamp
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this warning
lamp flashes for two minutes accompanied by an
audible signal of increasing volume. Once these
two minutes have elapsed, this warning lamp
remains on until the driver fastens their seat belt.
This warning lamp also comes on in the instrument
panel if the driver and/or front passenger unfastens
their seat belt while driving.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards the
safety of the occupants in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a slight emission
of smoke and a noise, due to the
detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The detonation noise associated with
the deployment of an airbag may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Impact detection zones

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been 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 inflates 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. 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 fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deactivation
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel when the ignition is
on and until the airbag is reactivated.To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.
Reactivation

deactivated:
F

w
ith the ignition off , insert the key into
the passenger airbag deactivation switch,

so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message in the screen, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay to have the system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
If this warning lamp flashes, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay. The passenger's front
airbag may no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
In the event of a fault, identified by the
illumination of at least one of the two
airbag warning lamps, do not install a
passenger (adult or child) at the front.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or qualified workshop.
