ACTIVE BONNET
Operating fault
The active bonnet has been designed to maximise the safety of
pedestrians in the event of an impact with the front of the vehicle.The deployment of the active bonnet is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge integrated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After deployment, close the bonnet by pressing on the hinges.
Go
to the nearest PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop at a
maximum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). This system can only operate once. If a second impact occurs
(during

the same or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet will
not operate.
After an accident or theft of the vehicle, have the system checked.
Do not handle the pyrotechnic systems, located under the bonnet
near the struts: risk of explosion.
All work on this system must be carried out only by the skilled
personnel

of a PEUGEOT

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

dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.

The active bonnet may no longer
be deployed in the event of an impact.

B.
Front left seat belt warning lamp.
C.


Front right seat belt warning lamp.
When the ignition is switched on, the warning lamp A

comes on in the
seat belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamp display, if the driver
and/or the front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
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 and/or the front passenger fastens their seat belt.
The warning lamp B or C for the corresponding seat comes on in red if
the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.
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 o\
r
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.
