Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 308 4 Door Second Genration (2014-2020)

Safety

Maintenance

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute towards

better protection of the occupants of the

vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre

passenger); immediately after the impact,

the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not

hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,

in the case of a minor or rear impact or

in certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt alone

contributes towards ensuring your protection

in these situations.

In case of impact

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.

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pyrotechnic pretensioner may be deployed

before and independently 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

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat belt

system checked, and, if necessary,

replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product, sold by

PEUGEOT dealers.

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.

General information

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 child.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer

to the corresponding section.

Impact detection zones

System designed to contribute towards improving

passenger safety (with the exception of the

rear centre passenger) in the event of violent

collisions. The airbags supplement the action of

the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all except

the rear centre passenger).

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Safety

If fitted to your vehicle, this system 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 abdomen and

head.

Deployment

The deployment of one or more airbags

is accompanied by a slight emission of

smoke and a noise, due to the detonation

of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in

the system.

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 front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated) in the event

of a serious frontal impact to all or part of the

frontal 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.

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.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular

to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a

horizontal plane and directed from the outside

towards the inside of the vehicle.

Malfunction

If this warning lamp in the instrument

panel comes on, you must contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may no longer deploy in

the event of a crash.

Front airbags

The lateral airbag inflates between the front

occupant's abdomen and head and the

associated door trim panel.

Curtain airbags

System contributing towards greater protection

for the driver and passengers (with the

Lateral airbags

exception 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.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

System which protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front

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

head and thorax.

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.

Safety

Deployment

Advice

Front 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 fix or attach anything to the

steering wheel or dashboard, this could

cause injuries on deployment of the

airbags.

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.

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.

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.

The curtain airbag inflates between the front or

rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

Malfunction

If this warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel, you must 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.

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach 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 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.

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.
