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.

Air bags malfunction  
If this warning light comes on,  
accompanied by a message  
on the multifunction display,  
it indicates a malfunction of  
at least one of these air bags.  
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have  
the system checked. The air bags  
may no longer be triggered in the  
event of a serious impact.  
Front air bags  
Curtain air bags  
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 fascia.  
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-  
ment of the air bags 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 glue anything to the pil-  
lars or the roof. This could cause in-  
jury to the head when the curtain air  
bag inflates.  
The triggering of an air bag or air  
bags is accompanied by a slight  
emission of harmless smoke and  
a noise due to the activation of the  
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in  
the system. This smoke is not harm-  
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-  
perience some irritation.  
The detonation noise may result in  
a slight loss of hearing for a short  
time.  
For the front, steering column,  
side and curtain air bags to be fulꢀ  
ly effective, observe the following  
safety rules:  
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.  
Sit in a normal upright position.  
Do not leave anything between the  
occupants and the air bags (child,  
animal, object...). This could hamper  
the operation of the air bags or injure  
the occupants.  
All work on the air bag systems is  
strictly prohibited unless it is car-  
ried out by qualified personnel of the  
PEUGEOT network.  
Even if all of the precautions men-  
tioned are observed, injury or slight  
burns to the head, chest or arms  
when the air bag is triggered can-  
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-  
flates almost instantly (approximately  
30 milliseconds) then deflates within  
the same time discharging hot gas  
via the openings provided for this  
purpose.  
This equipment will only operate  
once. If a second impact occurs (during  
the same or a subsequent accident),  
the air bag will not inflate.  
Steering column air bag  
Do not sit with your knees any nearer  
to the steering wheel than neces-  
sary.  
Side air bags  
Only put approved covers on the  
seats, these will not hamper the in-  
flation of the side air bags. Consult a  
PEUGEOT dealer.  
Do not fix or glue anything to the front  
seat backs. This could cause injury  
to the chest or arms when the side  
air bag inflates.  
After an accident or if the vehicle has  
been stolen or broken into, have the  
air bag systems checked.  
Do not sit with the upper part of the  
body any nearer to the door than  
necessary.
