Deployment
They 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 curtain airbag inflates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
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.
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 upright sitting position.
Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly
positioned and adjusted.
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, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must only
be per formed 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 cannot
be ruled out when an airbag is deployed.
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. 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 fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, as this
could cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.

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, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach 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. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. -
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.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "
rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
- "
forward facing " over the age of 3.
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a child seat with backrest
on a passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.

Safety
121
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of the vehicle. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest
on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
once the child seat has been removed.Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with backrest,
equipped with a belt guide at shoulder
level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c
hild alone and unattended in a
vehicle,
-
a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
