Safety
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
–


not show signs of tearing or fraying.
–


not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT


dealer is able to provide.
Have the 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.
Airbags

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.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
–

if there is a violent impact, the airbags deploy
instantly and help better protect 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.
–


in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain rollover conditions, the airbags are not
deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
engine is not running.
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.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
smoke and a noise, resulting from activation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the
system.
Although this smoke is not harmful, sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System that protects the driver and front
passenger(s) in the event of a serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of head and
chest injury.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger(s) airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

63
Safety
5Lateral airbags and curtain
airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, the lateral airbags are
built into the backrests of the front seats, on the
side by the door.
The curtain airbags are built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area, in the
roof above the front seats.
They inflate between the occupant and the
window.
They deploy on one side only (the side where
the collision occurs).
Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.
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 performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, 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.
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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as they play a part in securing the
curtain airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–

In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

64
Safety
seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
–

Statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
–

"forward facing" over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle 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
child seat harness 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 vehicle seat. 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 a 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 sun's rays,
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–

A

child alone and unsupervised inside a
vehicle.
– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.
–

The keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
Child seat at the rear

Forward-facing or rearward-facing



► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front
seat.
►

Check that the backrest of the forward-facing
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.
