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.

essential to deactivate the passenger's 
front airbag when you install a rear ward 
facing child seat on the front passenger 
seat. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious 
or fatal injury to the child if the airbag is 
deployed.
Reactivating the 
passenger's front airbag
In the "
OFF" position, the passenger’s front 
airbag will not be deployed in the event of an 
impact.
As soon as you remove the child seat, turn 
the passenger’s front airbag switch to the ON  
position to reactivate the airbag and therefore 
ensure the safety of your passenger in the
