Head restraints and seat
belts
The three seats are equipped with seat belts
with inertia reels. The seat belts of the side
seats are secured on the panels, while the
seat belt of the central seat is secured on the
backrest of the bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint, screwed to the
load stop grille, which can be removed.
Do not place a head restraint inside the
vehicle without stowing it or securing it to a
support.
Do not drive with rear passengers without
having the head restraints screwed in place.
There is no need to assist, guide or retain
it by the arm that remains free during the
tilting movement.
The rear seat belt fittings are not designed
to secure the load. Use only the stowing
rings on the floor.

backrests in the table position, avoid trapping
the strap of the centre seat belt.
When handling the side seats (removing/
installing) or when accessing row 3, avoid
trapping the centre belt.
Ensure that the centre seat belt is rolled up
correctly in its recess in the roof. The two seats are fitted with three-point inertia
reel seat belts.
Do not attach the seat belts to the stowing rings
marked with a red cross, as shown on the label.
Ensure that you attach the seat belts correctly
to the rings provided for this purpose.

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 a device for automatic
locking in the event of a collision, 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
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.The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated if a rear ward facing child seat
is installed on a front passenger seat.
Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
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.
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 case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of impact.
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of a
serious collision; they work in conjunction with
the force limiting seat belts.
