AIR BAGS*

- Remove the ignition key, insert it

into the passenger airbag switch 1

and turn it to the “OFF” position.

FRONT AIR BAGS*

The airbag system has been desi-

gned to maximise the safety of the

occupants in the event of serious

collisions. It works in conjunction

with the seat belts.

The electronic detectors register and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle; if the triggering threshold

is reached the airbags inﬂate instant-

ly and come between the occupants

and the vehicle.

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 airbag is

disarmed), for frontal impacts where

there is a risk of injury to the head or

chest.

AIR

BAG

- One of these two warning

lights* on the instrument

panel is lit throughout the

disarming process.

Immediately after the impact, the air-

bags deﬂate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants and their exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

The airbags are not deployed in the

case of collisions which are not

serious, for which the seat belt is suf-

ﬁcient to ensure maximum protec-

tion. The seriousness of a collision

depends on the nature of the obs-

tacle and the speed of the vehicle at

the moment of the collision.

In the “OFF” position, the passenger

airbag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

As soon as you remove the

rearwards-facing child seat from the

front passenger seat, turn the airbag

switch to the “ON” position, to arm

the airbag and thus ensure the

safety of your passenger in an

impact.

Airbags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the

cushion can be a minor irritant.

Disarming the passenger

airbag*

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pas-

senger airbag when you install a

rearwards-facing child seat on the

front passenger seat.

SIDE AIR BAGS*

The side airbags are incorporated in the backrest frames of the front seat, on the

side nearest the door.

They are triggered independently of each other depending on the side on which the

collision occurs, in the case of side impacts which could cause injury to the thorax,

the abdomen and the head.

Vehicle not fitted with a passenger

airbag disarming switch:

- do not install a rear-

wards-facing child seat

WARNING

For the front and side airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

•

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Sit in a normal upright position.

Do not leave an accessory, or any other object between the occupants of the front seats and the airbags. It could hamper

the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.

•

All work on the airbag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualiﬁed personnel of the PEUGEOT network.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.

The airbag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered. Have

them replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer after this period.

•

Front airbags*

•

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.

Smoke as little as possible; 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.

•

Side airbags*

•

Never put covers on the front seats.

Do not ﬁx or glue anything to the front seat backrests. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side airbag

inﬂates.
