Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 108 4 Door 2014-2022

Safety

Airbags

Designed to contribute to the safety of the

occupants in case of violent collisions. The

airbags supplement the action of the force-

limiting seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

Advice

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

Instructions for children

Use a suitable child seat, if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than

one and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure

more than one person.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer

to the corresponding section.

be tightened as close to the body as

possible,

be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it does not

twist,

be used to restrain only one person,

not show any signs of cuts or fraying,

not be converted or modified to avoid

affecting its performance.

In the event of violent impact, the

airbags are deployed 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 accordance with current safety

regulations, for all repairs on your

vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified

workshop with the skills and equipment

needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able

to provide.

Have your 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.

After folding or moving a seat or rear

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is

positioned and reeled in correctly.

In case of impact

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pyrotechnic system may be deployed

before and independent of the airbags.

Deployment of the pretensioners is

accompanied by a slight discharge of

harmless smoke and a noise, due to the

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp is lit.

After an impact, get the seat belt system

checked and if necessary have it replaced

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

In the event of a slight impact, an impact

at the rear of the vehicle and under certain

conditions of rollover, the airbags may not

deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect

you in these situations.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

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.

Front airbags

If this warning lamp comes on in

the instrument panel it indicates

a malfunction of the airbags. Contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible to

have the system checked. The

airbags may no longer be deployed

in the event of a serious impact.

If this is the case, do not install a child seat nor

allow a passenger to sit in the front passenger seat.

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a severe frontal

impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the

head and chest.

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Lateral airbags

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.

The deployment of an airbag is

accompanied by a slight emission of

smoke and a noise, due to the detonation

of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in

the system.

Deployment

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of an airbag may result in

a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

The airbags are deployed, except the

passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in

the event of a serious front impact to all or part

of the front impact zone A, in the longitudinal

centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane

and directed from the front to the rear of the

vehicle.

System which protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact

in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,

between the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

The front airbag inflates between the thorax

and head of the front occupant of the vehicle

and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the

dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their

forward movement.

Advice

The lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the

event of a serious side impact applied to all or

part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular

to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle

on a horizontal plane and directed from the

outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and

shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle

and the corresponding door trim panel.

If this warning lamp on the

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting

position.

Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is

positioned correctly.

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.

instrument panel comes on, contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system

checked. The airbags may no longer

be deployed in the event of a serious

impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump on

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls

over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision,

none of the lateral airbags are deployed.

Curtain airbags

System contributing towards greater protection

for the driver and passengers in the event of

a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of

injury to the side of the head.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

After an accident or if the vehicle has

been stolen or broken into, have the

airbag systems checked.

All work on the airbag system must be

carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Deployment

The curtain airbag is deployed at the same

time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the

event of a serious side impact applied to all or

part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular

to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle

on a horizontal plane and directed from the

outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The curtain airbag inflates between the front or

rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned

are observed, a risk of injury or of minor

burns to the head, chest or arms when an

airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.

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.
