Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 5008 SUV First Generation (2009-2016)

Safety

Airbags

System designed to maximise the safety of the

occupants (with the exception of the rear centre

passenger) in the event of violent collisions.

The airbags supplement the action of the force-

limiting seat belts (with the exception of the

centre rear passenger).

Front airbags

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's airbag is

fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Impact detection zones

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

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,

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

in the case of a minor or rear impact

or in certain roll-over conditions, the

airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

Deployment of the airbag(s) is

accompanied by a slight emission

of smoke and a noise, due to the

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience slight

irritation.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's

front airbag if it is deactivated, in the event of a

serious front impact to all or part of the front 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.

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.

The noise of the detonation may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short

time.

Safety

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be

deactivated.

Operating fault

To assure the safety of your child,

the passenger's front airbag must

be deactivated 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 airbag

were deployed.

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible

warning and a message, contact

passenger airbag deactivation switch.

Turn it to the "OFF" position.

Then, remove the key keeping the switch in

the new position.

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop without delay to have the system

checked. The airbags may no longer be

deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Reactivation

When you remove the "rearward facing" child

seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to

the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and

so assure the safety of your front passenger in

the event of an impact.

When switching the ignition on,

this warning lamp comes on in the

seat belt and passenger's front

airbag warning lamps display for

approximately one minute, to signal that the

passenger's front airbag is activated.

On switching on the ignition, this

warning lamp comes on in the

instrument panel and/or in the seat

belt and passenger's front airbag

warning lamps display. It stays on

until the airbag is reactivated.

148

Safety

Lateral airbags

System which 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.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the front, in the

outer side of the seat back frame.

Impact detection zones

Deployment

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.

The curtain airbag inflates between the front or

rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

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

Deployment

System which contributes towards improving

the protection of the driver and passengers

(with the 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.

The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally 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.

The lateral airbag inflates between the front

occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding

door panel.

In the event of a minor impact or bump

on the side of the vehicle or if the

vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be

deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision,

the airbag is not deployed.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

effective, observe the following

safety rules:

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its

spokes or resting your hands on the centre

part of the wheel.

Use only approved covers on the seats,

compatible with the deployment the lateral

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, you can

contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the occupants dashboard.

Passengers must not place their feet on the

and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This

could hamper the operation of the airbags or

injure the occupants.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems hit it violently.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

Refer to the "Accessories" section.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs

(clothing...). This could cause injury to the

chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or

with deployment of the airbags.

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

bag inflates almost instantly (within a few

milliseconds) then deflates within the same

time discharging the hot gas via openings

provided for this purpose.

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This

could cause injury to the head if the curtain

airbag is deployed.

If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the

grab handles installed on the roof, they play a

part in securing the curtain airbags.
