Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 3008 SUV Third Generation (2024-2025)

Safety

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer to

the corresponding section.

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

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 the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualiﬁed workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Installation

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the

seat belt may require the seat height to be

adjusted.

In order to be eﬀective, a seat belt must:

– be tightened as close to the body as

possible.

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.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

– be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

– must only be used to secure one person.

– not show signs of tearing or fraying.

– not be changed or modiﬁed, in order to

avoid aﬀecting its performance.

Impact detection zones

Airbags

General information

This system is designed to improve the safety

of the occupants of the front seats and the rear

outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The

airbags supplement the action of the seat belts

equipped with a force limiting system.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5

metres.

of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a

serious side impact, in order to limit the risk of

injury to the side of the head.

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the

event of a violent front impact applied to all or

part of front impact zone A.

The front airbag inﬂates between the chest and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and

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

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion

their forward movement.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side impact

zone B.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

Front airbags

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁtted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone B.

The lateral airbag inﬂates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

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.

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is ﬁtted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

ﬁtted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Curtain airbags

the driver and passengers (with the exception

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

Advice

For the airbags to be fully eﬀective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not ﬁx or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or

hit it violently.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Curtain airbags

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as these help to secure the curtain

airbags.

Lateral airbags

Never modify the original deﬁnition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. The bag inﬂates

almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)

then deﬂates within the same time,

discharging the hot gas via openings provided

for this purpose.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

At the rear, any objects placed on the outer

seats or the folded backrest of the 1/3 bench

seat could become projectiles when the

lateral airbags are deployed.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modiﬁcation or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

seats suited to their size or weight, on seats

ﬁtted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

– Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel

by its spokes or resting your hands on the

centre part of the wheel.

– Children ageing less than 15 months must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
