Airbags
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
The airbags will not be deployed in collisions
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.
Front airbags
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle:
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.
if the triggering threshold is reached, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.
The gas escaping from the deployed
airbags can be a minor irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
