Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if
so equipped) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the seat
belts fitted with force limiters.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of
the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so
equipped); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-
i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations. The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission 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 slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S

the passenger front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rear ward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.

ignition off , turn the switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the airbag and so assure
the safety of your front passenger(s) in the
event of an impact.

this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.

instrument panel, you must contact
a P
e
ugeo
T d
ealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
abdomen and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel. If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which
protects the driver and front passenger in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest, between the
abdomen and head.

could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a P
e
ugeo
T d
ealer or a
qualified workshop.
ev
en 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.

deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
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.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke 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.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety
recommendations below:
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
