Safety
Curtain airbags
Deployment of the active bonnet is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After triggering, do not try to open or close the
bonnet. Call a towing company or go to the
nearest dealer or qualified workshop, driving
at a speed below 19 mph (30 km/h).
Make sure that you adjust the height of the
driver's seat - risk of hindrance to visibility!
Child seats
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.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
► In accordance with European regulations, all
children under the age of 12 years old 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.
Active bonnet
► Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
This equipment will only trigger once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the active bonnet will
not trigger.
► Children ageing less than 15 months must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the system checked.
Do not tamper with the pyrotechnic systems
under the bonnet, close to the struts - risk
of explosion! All work must be carried out
only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
The active bonnet has been designed to
optimise the safety of pedestrians in the event
of collision with the front of the vehicle.
The pyrotechnic system is triggered at the
hinges of the bonnet to lift it, when the sensors
located at the front of the vehicle detect a
collision.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of the vehicle:
► "rearward facing" up to the age of 3 years
old.
Malfunction
► "forward facing" over the age of 3 years
old.
In the event of a malfunction, this
warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible
signal. You must contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have
the system checked.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
The active bonnet may not deploy in the event of
an impact.
The child seat location tables are provided
in the Complete Handbook.
