The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all restrained securely before setting
off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat
belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their
role fully

.
The
seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic
adjustment of the length of the strap to your size.

The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in
correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible
on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The
inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over

. You can release the device
by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in
slightly

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

be tightened as close to the body as possible,
-


be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
-


be used to restrain only one person,
-


not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its
performance. In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's

seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment

needed, which a PEUGEOT

dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the
seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or \
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information, refer to the "Child seats" section.
In the event of an impact
depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently
of the airbags. 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 all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if
necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts.
In this case, 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 are deployed
instantaneously and contribute towards 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 or their
possible exit from the vehicle,
-


in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and 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 off.
This

equipment only operates once. If a second impact occurs
(during

the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a
slight discharge of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may
experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to the deployment of one or
more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
