Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 5008 SUV Third Generation (2024-2025)

Safety

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

Front airbags

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

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.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

Impact detection zones

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

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.

Airbags

This system is designed to improve the safety

of the occupants of the front seats and the rear

outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The

airbags supplement the action of the seat belts

equipped with a force limiting system.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts sustained in the impact

detection zones:

Front impact zone

Side impact zone

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*⁴, in the

event of a violent front impact applied to all or

part of front impact zone A.

The front airbag inflates between the chest and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and

the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion

their forward movement.

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise

and releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may

result in a slight loss of hearing for a short

time.

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

Lateral airbags

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.

Safety

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not fix or attach anything near or in the path

of the airbags, as this could cause injuries

when they are deployed.

Deployment

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

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.

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone B.

The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

Curtain airbags

Never modify the original definition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

This system helps provide greater protection for

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.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned

are observed, a risk of injury or of minor

burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be

ruled out when an airbag is deployed. 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.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side impact

zone B.The curtain airbag inflates between the

front and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunc-

tion, these warning lamps

light up on the instrument

panel.

Safety

position, whether in the front or rear of the

vehicle.

Front airbags

Curtain 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 roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof.

It is recommended that children travel on

the rear seats of the vehicle:

– "rearward facing" up to the age of 3 years

old.

– "forward facing" over the age of 3 years

old.

Child seats

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.

The regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

Do not fix or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers compatible

with the deployment of these airbags. For

information on the range of seat covers

suitable for your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

– 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.

– Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle

for carrying children are the rear seats.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

– Children ageing less than 15 months

must travel in the "rearward facing"

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modification or

repair) on the front doors or their interior

trim could compromise the operation of these

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags! All work must be carried out only by

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
