Front airbags
Lateral airbags
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 dashboard.
Do not smoke as 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.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or
arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
-
-
"rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
"forward facing" over the age of 3.
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.

Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
In the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
