Airbags
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except 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
rear centre 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
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 associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

Reactivating the
passenger's front airbag
When you remove the child seat, with
the ignition off , turn the switch to the
"ON"
position to reactivate the front airbag and
so assure the safety of your front passenger in
the event of an impact.
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes in the seat belt
warning display screen. It stays on
while the airbag is 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
were deployed.
When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, 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.

Advice
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.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
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.
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...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even 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. 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.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

General points relating to child seats
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.*
T
he regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
-
i
n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
-
s
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the
rear seats,
-
a c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends
that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-
re
arward facing up to the age of 3,
-
fo

Child seat at the rear
Rearward facing
When a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat, move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the rear ward facing child seat does not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
Forward facing
When a for ward facing child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the for ward
facing child seat do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg,
ensure that this is in firm contact with
the floor. If necessary, adjust the front
seat of the vehicle.
Centre rear seat
A child seat with a support leg must never be
installed on the centre rear passenger seat .
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the protection
of the child in the event of an accident.
