Passenger's
airbag systemFixed.
The control switch, located in
the glove box, is set to the " OFF"
position.
The passenger's front airbag is
deactivated.
You can install a "rearward"
facing child seat, unless there is
a fault with the airbags (airbag
warning lamp on). To activate the passenger front airbag, turn the control
to the "
ON" position.
In this case, do not fit a child seat in the "rear ward"
facing position.
Min fuel level Fixed, with the needle
in the red zone. Approximately 5
litres of fuel
remain in the tank.
You are now starting to use the
fuel reserve. You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until sufficient fuel is added.
Capacity of the tank:
-


approximately 50
litres (petrol engines).
-


approximately 50
litres (Diesel engines).
-


approximately 45


litres (Diesel BlueHDi engines).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened 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 have an automatic locking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns 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:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

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

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot 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 on Child seats , refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic 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
Impact detection zones
A.Frontal impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.
General points
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre rear passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger belt).
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 rear passenger); 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.

Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact to all or part of the front impact zone A,
in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.

To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the rear ward facing child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
Malfunction
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, you
must contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags may
no longer be deployed in the event
of a serious impact.
