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.

Safety

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in firm and steady contact

with the floor.

Installing a booster seat

7

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child's shoulder without

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child's thighs.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's

front seat.

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety in

the event of an accident.

► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing

child seat is as close as possible to the

backrest of the vehicle's rear seat, and

ideally in contact with it.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

child seat harness keeping the slack relative

to the child's body to a minimum, even for

short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened

correctly on the child seat and that it secures

the child seat firmly on the vehicle seat. If

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint before

installing a child seat with a backrest on

a passenger seat.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the doors

and rear windows, use the "Child lock".Take

care not to open the rear windows by more

than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays,

fit side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

Centre rear seat

A child seat with a support leg must never be

installed on the centre rear passenger seat.

Child seat at the front

► A child alone and unsupervised inside a

vehicle.

► A child or an animal in a vehicle which

is exposed to the sun, with the windows

closed.

► The keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once

the child seat has been removed.

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the

highest and fully back longitudinal

position, with the backrest straightened.
