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...).
t
his 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.
e
ven 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.
t
hese 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.
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.
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.
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 a 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 facing rearward.

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 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 inflates 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
front airbag deactivation switch,
-
turn it to the of
f "OFF" position,
-
then remove the key
, keeping the
switch in the new position.
t
he passenger's front
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

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front airbag fault
to ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger's front airbag when you
install a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being kille
d or seriously
injured if the airbag were to inflate. Reactivation

position to re-activate the passenger's
front airbag and so ensure the safety
of your passenger in the event of an
impact.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
At the rear, always leave sufficient
space between the front seat and:
-
a "rearward facing" child seat,
-
the feet of a child seated in a
"forward facing" child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward
and, if necessary
, straighten its
backrest as well.
t
he incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt
is well tensioned on the child seat
and that it is holding the child seat
firmly against the vehicle's seat. If the
passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forward if necessary. For the optimum installation of a
"forward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is as close as
possible to the backrest of the vehicle's
seat, or in contact if possible.
t
he head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on the passenger seat.
e
nsure that the head restraint is
stowed or attached securely so that it
is not thrown around the vehicle in the
event of sharp braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the
child seat is removed.Children at the front
the legislation on carrying a child on
the front passenger seat is specific to
each country
. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.
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 deployed.
Installing a booster seat
the chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
e
nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P
euge O t
recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, never 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.
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, fit side blinds to the rear
windows.
For an installation in row 3, put the
backrests of the outer and centre
seats in row 2 in the table position, or
remove these seats in row 2, so that
the child seat or the child's legs do not
touch the seats in row 2.
