Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely 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 completely fulfil their role.
The safety belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length to
automatically adjust to your shape. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when
it is not used.
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 are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event
of a collision or emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls 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:
-
M ust be tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-

M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-

M
ust not show signs of tear or fraying.
-

M
ust not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance. Instructions 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 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 a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts
, the pyrotechnic pretensioner
device may trigger before and independently
of airbag deployment. 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.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and, if necessary, have it replaced
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Airbags
Designed to contribute to the safety of the
occupants in case of violent collisions. The
airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
I
n the event of violent impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and help better
protect the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
-

I
n the event of a slight impact, an impact
at the rear and, under certain conditions of
rollover, the airbags may not deploy; only
the seat belt helps to protect you 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.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.
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
passenger's front airbag if it has been
deactivated, in the event of a serious front
impact to all or part of the front 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.

Malfunction
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, 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
Malfunction
If this warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on, 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. 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.
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
for ward movement.
System that contributes towards improving the
protection of the driver and front passenger in
the event of a serious side impact, in order to
limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the
hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
They are 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 contributes towards the protection
of the front occupant of the vehicle, between the lower
thorax and the head.
