Deployment
The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B , 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.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers in the event of
a
serious side impact in order to limit the risk of
injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a
serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, 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.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal and upright sitting
position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
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 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 obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
The airbag inflates almost instantly (within
a
few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.
Safety

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.
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
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from 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.
