SAFETY
The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained be-
fore setting off.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
Recommendations for children:
-
must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
must restrain one adult only,
must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,
-
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 se-
cure more than one person,
never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
Wherever you are seated in the vehi-
cle, always fasten your seat belt, even
for short journeys.
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 inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
-
must be pulled in front of you with
a smooth movement, checking that
it does not twist,
-
must not betransformedormodified
to avoid altering its performance.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
In accordance with current safety reg-
ulations, all repairs and checks must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer
who guarantees that the work is car-
ried out correctly.
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.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and rolled up correctly.
The inertia reels are fitted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, on emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling rapidly on the strap
and releasing it.
