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.

Front airbags
Activation
The airbags are deployed (except the
passenger's front 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 front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard, to
cushion their forward movement.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible warning
and a message on the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
If the two airbag warning lamps remain
on continuously, do not install a "rear ward
facing" child seat, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the thorax.
These are incorporated in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger(s).
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front seat's
backrest frame, door side.
Activation
The lateral airbag is deployed on one side in
the event of a severe side impact covering all
or part of side impact zone B, perpendicular to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle in a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the front
occupant and the corresponding door panel.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible warning and a message on the
screen, 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.
Safety

87
Curtain airbags
Activation
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag 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 curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows. This system protects the driver and passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in row
two) in the event of a severe side impact in
order to limit the risk of injury to the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.

ISOFIX mountings
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance with
the latest ISOFIX regulation.
The mountings comprise three rings for each seat:
- Two front rings A, located between the
vehicle seat backrest and cushion, indicated
by an "ISOFIX" marking,
-

A r
ear ring B , on the back of the vehicle
seat backrest, for attaching the upper strap
called the Top Tether.
The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child
seats that have them. In case of frontal impact,
this device limits the tilting of the child seat
forward.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
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.
(d)
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated without fail. Otherwise, the
child risks being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to inflate .
When a "for ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat ,
the passenger's front airbag must remain
active.
(e)
When installing a child seat at the rear,
in either a for ward or rear ward facing
position, move the seats in front for wards,
then straighten their backrests to allow
enough space for the child seat and for
the child's legs.
(e)
The "RÖMER Baby-Safe Plus" child seat
cannot be installed on this seat. (f )
Place the backrests of the outer seats
and the central seat of row 2, located in
front of the seat occupied by the child
seat, in the table position, or if this is not
sufficient, remove these row 2 seats so
that the child seat or the child's legs do
not touch the row 2 seats.
(g) If the seats in row 3 are occupied, do not
leave a child seat installed on the foldable
row 2 seat, to ensure ease of access to
row 3.

Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code 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 bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
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.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – 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.
In case of towing
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. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity
to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Driving

104
In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle. For more information on adjusting
the Headlamp beam
, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
