Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a single
p yrotechnic pretensioning system (or double
on the driver's side, depending on equipment)
and force limiters (or progressive force
limiters on the driver's side, depending on
equipment).
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
single pyrotechnic pretensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts against the
body of the occupants.
The double pyrotechnic pretensioning system
operates in identical fashion, except that it
combines two anchoring points instead of one,
thereby reinforcing its efficiency.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the buckle.
F

C
heck that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle.
F G uide the seat belt as it reels in.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
The progressive force limiter operates
in identical fashion, except that it takes
into account the build of the driver, thereby
optimising the reduction of the pressure of the
seat belt against the chest, following an impact.
Rear seat belts (row 2)
Outer seats
Depending on equipment, they may be fitted
with a
single pretensioning system and force
limiters.
Be sure to put the correct seat belt in the
correct buckle.
Do not interchange the belts or buckles for the
outer seats with the belt or buckle for the centre
seat.
Centre seat
The seat belt does not have a pyrotechnic
p retensioning system and force limiters.

Front seat belt warning lamp(s)
On switching on the ignition, warning lamp
1 comes on in the instrument panel, and the
corresponding warning lamp ( 1
or 2) comes
on in red in the seat belt and front passenger
airbag warning lamp display if the driver's seat
belt and/or the passenger(s) seat belt is/are not
fastened or is/are unfastened.
Rear seat belt warning lamp(s)
The corresponding warning lamp ( 3 to 5)
comes on in red in the seat belt and front
passenger airbag warning lamp display if one
or more rear passengers (row 2) unfasten their
seat belt. 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.
These seat belt warning lamps only apply
to row 2. Advice
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.

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 case of impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pyrotechnic system 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 is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event 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 a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
(with the exception of the centre seat in row
2); 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. Frontal 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.

urn the key to position 2 , ignition on, to
operate the engine pre-heating system. The warning lamp does not come on
if the engine is hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
D

epending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.
-

I
n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a
longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4
minutes
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a
few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call in a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the
cruise control/speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have
two fixings located below the seat.
