warning light

SEAT BELTS

When the ignition is

switched on, the warning

light comes on if the driver

has not fastened his seat

belt.

With the engine running and the

doors closed, the light switches off

automatically after 30 seconds.

If the seat belt is unfastened:

- below 12 mph (20 km/h), the light

comes on continuously,

- above 12 mph (20 km/h) and for

two minutes, the warning light

ﬂashes accompanied by an audible

signal of increasing volume. Once

these two minutes have elapsed,

the warning light remains on until

the driver fastens his seat belt.

Press the red button on the stalk

then remove the buckle.

Pre-tensioning and force-

limiting front seat belts

Rear seat belts

The three rear seats are all ﬁtted with

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

The side seats are ﬁtted with force-

limiting devices.

To adjust the height of the front

seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impact

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning and force-lim-

iting front seat belts. Depending on

the seriousness of the impact, the

pre-tensioning system instantly tight-

ens the seat belt ﬁrmly against the

body of the occupant.

To lower the attachment point,

squeeze control 1 and slide it down-

wards.

To raise the attachment point, slide

control 1 upwards.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

Fastening the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the

buckle into the stalk.

Check that the seat belt is fas-

tened by pulling the strap

The force-limiting device reduces the

pressure of the seat belt against the

body of the occupant in the event of

an accident.

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,

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.

- never use the same seat belt to

secure more than one person,

- never allow a child to travel on your

lap.

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.

- must not be transformed or modi-

ﬁed to avoid altering its perform-

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air

bags.

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.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

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 or emergency braking. You can

release the device by pulling rapidly

on the strap and releasing it.

Have your seat belts checked

regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer and

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 rolled up correctly.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

AIR BAGS

FRONT AIR BAGS

Disarming the passenger

air bag*

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.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronicdetectorsrecordandanalyse

any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:

if the triggering threshold is reached,

the air bags inﬂate instantly and pro-

tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their possible exit from the

vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in

collisions which are not serious, for

which the seat belt is sufﬁcient to

provide maximum protection.

The seriousness of the collision de-

pends on the nature of the obstacle

and the speed of the vehicle at the

moment of impact.

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 seriously

injured or killed if the air bag were

to inﬂate.

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 air bag is

disarmed.

With the ignition switched off

insert the key into the passen-

ger air bag disarming switch 1

turn it to the "OFF" position, then

remove the key keeping the switch

in this position.

Front air bag malfunction

Air bags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

to have the system checked.

* According to country.

In the "OFF" position, the passen-

ger air bag will not be triggered in the

event of an impact.

SIDE AIR BAGS* AND

CURTAIN AIR BAGS*

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.

Disarming check

The side air bags are incorporated

into the front seat backs on the door

side.

The curtain air bags are incorporated

into the door pillars and the upper

part of the passenger compartment.

With the ignition on, this is

conﬁrmed by illumination of

this warning light which in-

dicates that the passenger

air bag is disarmed (switch

in the "OFF" position).

The warning light is lit throughout the

duration of disarming.

They are deployed independently of

each other depending on which side

the collision occurs.

Air bag fault

If the passenger air bag dis-

arming warning light ﬂashes,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

If this indicator light comes

on, accompanied by an au-

dible signal and a message

on the multi-function dis-

play, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer to have the system checked.

In the event of permanent lighting of

the two air bag warning lights, do not

install a rear facing child seat. Contact

a PEUGEOT dealer.
