belts

Pull the strap, then insert the buckle

into the stalk.

Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

To unfasten the seat belts, press the

button on the stalk.

Safety in the event of front impacts

has been improved by means of the

introduction of pretensioning seat

belts with force limiter for the front

seats. Depending on the force of the

impact, the pretensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts and

pulls them against the body of the oc-

cupants.

Wherever you are seated in

the vehicle, always fasten

your seat belt, even for short

journeys.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:

- must be tightened as close to the

body as possible,

- must restrain one adult only,

- must not bear any trace of cuts or

fraying,

- must be pulled in front of you with a

smooth movement, checking that it

does not twist,

- must not be transformed or modi-

ﬁed to avoid altering its perform-

ance.

In accordance with current safety

regulations, all repairs and checks

must be carried out by a PEUGEOT

dealer who guarantees that the work

is carried out correctly.

Have your seat belts checked regu-

larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-

ticularly 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 rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for children:

- use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ﬁfty,

- do not use the strap-guide* when a

child seat is installed.

Do not invert the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulﬁl their role

fully.

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.

The seat belts are ﬁtted with an in-

ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-

ment of the length of the strap to your

size. The seat belt is stored automat-

ically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the

seat belt is rolled up 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 are ﬁtted with an au-

tomatic locking device which comes

into operation in the event of a colli-

sion, on emergency braking or if the

vehicle rolls over. You can release

the device by pulling rapidly on the

strap and releasing it.

- never use the same seat belt to se-

cure more than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on your

lap.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air

bags. Triggering of the pre-tension-

ers is accompanied by a slight emis-

sion of harmless smoke and a noise,

due to the activation of the pyrotech-

nic cartridge incorporated in the sys-

tem.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT deal-

er.

* According to model.

SAFETY

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

The air bags are not deployed in the

case of minor impacts, rear impacts

or in certain roll-over conditions. The

seat belt is sufﬁcient to ensure maxi-

mum protection in these situations.

The seriousness of a collision de-

pends on the nature of the obstacle

and the speed of the vehicle at the

moment of the collision.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of serious collisions. They

work in conjunction with the force-

limiting seat belts. The electronic

detectors register and analyse any

abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in

the impact detection zones (see dia-

gram): if the triggering threshold is

reached, the air bags inﬂate instantly

and protect the occupants of the ve-

hicle.

Air bags only operate when the ig-

nition is switched on.

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 passenger air bag

is disarmed, in the event of a serious

front impact applied in the impact zone

A in the longitudinal centreline of the

vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from

the front of the vehicle towards the rear.

The air bag inﬂates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the fascia

to cushion his forward movement. The

air bags therefore limit the risk of injury

to the head and chest.

Note: the gas escaping from

the air bags can be a minor

irritant.

side.

Air bags malfunction

Disarming the passenger

air bag

Flashing indicates a mal-

function of at least one of

these air bags.

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.

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to disarm the pas-

senger air bag when you install

a "rear-facing" child seat on the

front passenger seat. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seri-

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 re-

move the key keeping the switch

in this position.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked. The air bags

may no longer be triggered in the

event of a serious impact.

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 switch to the "ON"

position to re-activate the air bag and

thus ensure the safety of your pas-

senger in the event of an impact.

For the front, side* and

curtain* air bags to be

fully effective, observe the

following safety rules:

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.

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.

After an accident or if the vehicle has

been stolen or broken into, have the

air bag systems checked.

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.

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.

Side air bags*

Only put approved covers on the

seats, these will not hamper the in-

ﬂation of the side air bags. Contact

your 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.

This equipment will only operate

once. If a second impact occurs (dur-

ing the same or a subsequent acci-

dent), the air bag will not inﬂate.

Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than

necessary.
