AIRBAgS
g eneral information
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 better 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 is
sufficient to contribute towards your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

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...). This 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 airbagso
nly put recommended covers on
the seats. These 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. This 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.
This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The 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.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
The passenger's front airbag must
be deactivated if a child seat is
installed rearward facing.

Rearward facing
When a rearward facing child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and straighten the backrest so that the
rearward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
Forward facing
When a forward facing child seat is
installed on a rear passenger seat,
move the vehicle's front seat forwards
and straighten the backrest so that the
legs of the child in the forward facing
child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.
e

nsure that the seat belt is
correctly tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure that this is in firm contact with
the floor. When a child seat is installed on a
passenger seat in row 3, put the
backrests of the outer and centre seats
in row 2 forward of the seat occupied
by the child seat, in the table position,
or if this is not sufficient, rermove the
seats in row 2 so that the child seat or
the the legs of the child do not touch
the seats in row 2. Seats in row 3
A child seat with a support leg

SeAtS WI t H A S u PP o R t L eg
Care must be taken when installing
a child seat with a support leg in
the vehicle. In particular you should
look for the presence of a storage
compartment below the rear seat
footwells.
The centre rear seat does not have
a storage compartment below the
footwell. You can therefore easily fit a
child seat with a support leg, whether
installed with the IS
o FIX mountings or
using the 3 point seat belt.
Do not place the support leg on
the storage compartment cover;
it might break in a serious impact.
Where the adjustments of the support
leg allow it, we suggest two other
possibilities for installation.
At the bottom of the storage
compartment
If the support leg is long enough, you
can adjust it so that it contact the
bottom of the storage compartment.
Remove all objects from the storage
compartment before installing the
support leg.
Away from the storage
compartment area
If the support leg is long enough and
can be inclined sufficiently (always
by following the recommendations
given in the installation instructions for
the child seat), you can position the
support leg so that it contacts the floor
away from the storage compartment.
Adjust the longitudinal position of
the front or rear seat to obtain a
satisfactory position for the support leg
away from the storage compartment.
If you cannot position the support
leg in the way described, you
should not fit a child seat with
support leg to the seat.
