Good practice
the driver must ensure that all passengers
fasten their seat belts correctly .
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
t

he seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
t

he seat belt is reeled in
automatically when not in use.
e

nsure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat, ensure that
the seat belt has reeled in correctly into its
compartment and that the buckle is ready to
accommodate the tongue.
t
he force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants. t he equipment fitted to these seat belts is
operational when the ignition is switched on.
t

he 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.
t

he airbag warning lamp comes
on if the pretensioners are
deployed. Contact a P
euge O t

or a qualified workshop.
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.
t

he 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. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

restrain one person only
,
-

must not be twisted, check by pulling in

front of you with an even movement,
-

be tightened as close to the body as

possible.
t

he upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
t

he 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. Recommendations for children:
-
use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or less than one
and a half metres tall,
-

never allow a child to travel on your lap,

even with the seat belt fastened.
For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Safety - Children on
board" section.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle,
refer to a qualified workshop that has the
skills an equipment needed, all of which can
be provided by a P
euge O t
dealer
.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a P
euge O t
dealer

or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be transformed or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
available from P
euge O t
dealers.

GENERAL POINTS ON AIRBAGS
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 best 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 contributes towards providing your
protection in these situations.
t

he seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
t

his equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
t
he deployment of an airbag or airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of smoke
and some noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
t
his smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
t
he noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.t he passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated if a child seat is installed in the
rearward facing position.
Refer to the "Safety - Children on
board" section.

FRONT AIRBAGS
the front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Deployment
t

hey are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact.
t

he front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement. Deactivation of the passenger's front airbag
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated. t
he airbag is deactivated using
the SET / Back button in the side control
panel: in the "Bag p" menu, select "OFF".
t

he passenger's front airbag
warning lamp in the central
control panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
to assure the safety of your child, you

must deactivate the passenger's front
airbag when you install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being killed
or seriously injured if the airbag were to
inflate.
Refer to the "
t
echnology on board -

Vehicle configuration" section. Operating fault
If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a rearward
facing child seat.
Have it checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a

qualified workshop. If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a P
euge O t
dealer

or a qualified workshop without delay to have the
system checked.
t

he airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.

For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
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...).
t
his could hamper 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 systems must be
carried out by a P
euge O t
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
e

ven if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight 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 through
openings provided for this purpose. 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 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.
Lateral airbags
Only put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a P
euge O t
dealer
. Refer to the
"Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs.
t

his 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.

vehicle for carrying 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. PEUGEOT recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
