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 pyrotechnic pretensioners are active


when the ignition is switched on and the

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,
-
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 invert 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 an appropriate child seat if the


passenger is under 10 years or less than
one and a half metres tall.
Never carry a child on your knees, 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, your P
eugeOt 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 P
eugeOt dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show


any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by P
eugeOt dealers.

Improved safety and security
Impact resistance
Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.
Anti-theft protection
Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.Details of these functions are given in
the "Ready to set off - Front and rear
doors" section.

GEnErAL PoIntS on AIrBAGS
the airbags have been designed to optimise
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, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-
in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and


contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
-
in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain


conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.Front airbags
these are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers.
they are deployed,


except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
this smoke is not harmful but may be an


irritant to sensitive persons.
the noise of the detonation may result in a


slight loss of hearing for a short time.
