For the front, side* and
curtain* air bags to be
fully effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Front air bags
Side 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 steer-
ing wheel or hit it violently.
• Only put approved covers on the
front seats. 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 is triggered.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
• 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 ham-
per 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.
Curtain air bags*
• Do not fix or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag inflates.
• Do not remove the bolts from the
grab handles installed on the roof,
they play a part in securing the cur-
tain air bags.
* According to country.
