Deactivating the passenger's
front airbag
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on 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 is deployed.
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 on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.
Operating fault
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.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed on one side 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 hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel.

between hip and shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.

For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.),
nor fix or attach anything close or in the way
of airbag trajectory; 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, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. 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.
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
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
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
* The legislation on carrying children is specific to each country. Consult the
legislation in force in your country.
Although one of the main criteria of PEUGEOT
when designing your vehicle, the safety of your
children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please obser ve 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 an approved child seat suited to
their weight and installed on a vehicle seat
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:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Child seat at the front
Refer to the current legislation in your country
before installing your child on this seat.
Rearward facing
When a rear ward facing child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat , adjust the
vehicle seat to the fully back and highest
position, with the backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .

Forward facing
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm and steady contact
with the floor. If necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
When a for ward facing child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat
, adjust the vehicle
seat to the fully back and highest position,
with the backrest straightened. Leave the front
passenger's airbag active. Passenger seat adjusted to the highest
position and in the maximum longitudinal

Deactivating the
passenger front airbag
Never install a rear ward facing child
restraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag. This could cause the
death of the child or serious injury.

Child seat at the rear
Rearward facingForward facing
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary, adjust the front seat of
the vehicle.
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. 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.
