Advice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not allow anything to come between
the occupants and the airbags
(a child, pet, object...), do not attach or
fix anything near to the airbags or their
trajectories when inflating as this could
cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
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.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.
For more information on accessories,
refer to "Other accessories" in section 6.
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.
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.

CHILD SEAT AT THE REAR
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.
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. 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

SEATS WITH A SUPPORT LEG
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 ISOFIX 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.
