AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of serious collisions; they

work in conjunction with the force limit-

ing seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:

if the triggering threshold is reached,

the air bags inﬂate instantly and pro-

tect the occupants of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deﬂate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their possible exit from the

vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in col-

lisions which are not serious, for which

the seat belt is sufﬁcient to provide

maximum protection. The seriousness

of the collision depends on the nature

of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of impact.

Disarming the passenger air

bag*

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in the

fascia for the front passenger. They

are deployed simultaneously, except in

cases where the air bag is disarmed.

To ensure the safety of your child, it

is essential to disarm the passenger

air bag when you install a "rear-fac-

ing" child seat on the front passen-

ger seat. Otherwise, the child would

risk being killed or seriously injured

if the air bag were to inﬂate.

 With the ignition switched off,

insert the key into the passenger

air bag disarming switch 1, turn it

to the "OFF" position, then remove

the key keeping the slot in this posi-

tion.

Front air bag malfunction

Air bags only operate when the igni-

tion is switched on.

If this warning light comes

on, accompanied by a buzzer

and a message on the mul-

tifunction display, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer to have

the system checked.

Note: the gas escaping from

the air bags can be a minor

irritant.

pipe.

• Never remove or pierce the steering

wheel or hit it violently.

strictly prohibited unless it is car-

ried out by qualiﬁed personnel of the

PEUGEOT network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle

has been stolen or broken into, have

the air bag systems checked.
