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
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving passenger safety (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).
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 rollover 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
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 front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated) in the
event of a serious frontal impact to all or part
of the frontal 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 forward
movement.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before driving.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P , depending on
the type of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6 mph
(10

km/h),
-
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
