Get Safety -> Front Air Bags Guide for Peugeot 1007 4 Door First Generation (2005-2009)

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their possible exit from the

vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in

collisions which are not serious, rear

impacts or in certain roll-over con-

ditions. The seat belt is sufﬁcient to

provide maximum protection in these

situations.

Air bags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

This equipment will only operate once.

If a second impact occurs (during the

same or a subsequent accident), the

air bag will not operate.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

(with the exception of the rear centre

passenger) in the event of serious

collisions; they work in conjunction

with the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronic detectors record and ana-

lyse the front and side impacts suf-

fered in the impact detection zones

(see diagram): in the event of a se-

rious impact, the air bags inﬂate in-

stantly and protect the occupants of

the vehicle (with the exception of the

rear centre passenger).

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in

the fascia for the front passenger.

They are deployed simultaneously,

except in cases where the air bag is

disarmed, in the event of a serious

front impact applied in the impact

zone A in the longitudinal centreline,

on a horizontal plane and from the

front towards the rear of the vehicle.

The air bag inﬂates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fas-

cia to cushion his forward movement.

In this way, the air bags limit the risk

of injury to the head and chest.

Note: the triggering of an air

bag or air bags is accompa-

nied by a slight discharge

of harmless smoke and a

noise, due to the activation of the

pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in

the system.

This gas may cause slight irritation.

The noise of the detonation may

result in a slight loss of hearing for a

short time.

Front air bag malfunction

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

If this warning light comes

on, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message

on the multifunction display,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked. The air bags

may no longer be triggered in the

event of a serious impact.

Disarming check

Activation

It is deployed at the same time as the

front air bags.

With the ignition on (2nd

notch), illumination of this

warning light accompa-

nied by a message on the

SIDE AIR BAGS AND

CURTAIN AIR BAGS

multifunction display, indicates that

the passenger air bag is disarmed

(switch in the "OFF" position). The

warning light on the instrument panel

remains on until the passenger air

bag is reactivated.

The side air bags are incorporated

into the front seat backs on the door

side.

The triggering of these air bags re-

quires a serious side impact applied

in the side impact zone B, perpen-

dicular to the longitudinal centreline

of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane

and from the outside of the vehicle

towards the inside. The side air bag

inﬂates between the front occupant

of the vehicle and the door trim pad.

It therefore limits the risk of injury to

the chest.

The rear side air bags afford the rear

passengers the same protection

which the front side air bags offer the

front passengers.

The curtain air bags are incorporated

in the headlining.

The curtain air bag inﬂates between

the front or rear occupant and the

windows. It therefore limits the risk of

head injuries. In the event of a minor

impact or bump on the side of the ve-

hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the

air bag may not be triggered. The air

bag is not triggered in the event of a

front or rear collision.

In the event of permanent

lighting of the two air bag

warning lights, do not install

a rear-facing child seat.

Disarming the passenger air

bag

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pasꢀ

senger air bag when you install

a "rearꢀfacing" child seat on the

front passenger seat. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seriꢀ

ously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inﬂate.

 With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger

air bag disarming switch 1, turn

it to the "OFF" position, then

remove the key keeping the slot

in this position.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-

ger air bag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed,

turn the air bag slot to the "ON" po-

sition to re-activate the air bag and

thus ensure the safety of your pas-

senger in the event of an impact.

Steering column air bag

The steering column air bag protects

the driver’s knees in the event of a

serious front impact.

It is incorporated in the fascia below

the steering column.
