SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts with

pre-tensioner and force limiter

Safety in the event of frontal impacts

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning seat belts with

force limiter for the front seats.

Depending on the seriousness of the

impact, the pre-tensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts and

pulls them against the bodies of the

occupants.

Front seat belts

The front seats, driver's seat, one-

seat passenger seat and side seat

of the passenger bench seat, are

itted with pre-tensioners and force

limiters.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pres-

sure of the seat belt on the body of

the occupant in the event of an ac-

cident.

44 - Seats and bench seats

Wherever you are seated

in the vehicle, always fas-

ten your seat belt, even for

short journeys.

After folding or moving a seat or rear

bench seat, ensure that the seat belt

is positioned and rolled up correctly.

Recommendations for child seats:

Do not invert the seat belt

buckles as they will not fulil their role

fully.

- use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre ifty,

If the seats have armrests*, the lap

part of the seat belt must always

pass under the armrest.

- do not use the strap-guide* when a

child seat is installed.

Before and after use, ensure that the

seat belt is rolled up correctly.

Depending on the nature and se-

riousness of the impacts, the pre-

tensioning device may be triggered

before and independently of the air

bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning light

comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if nec-

essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

In order to be effective, a seat belt:

- must be tightened as close to the

body as possible,

- must restrain one adult only,

- must not bear any trace of cuts or

fraying,

- must not be twisted,

- must not be transformed or modi-

ied.

2nd row rear side seat belts

The rear side seats of the three seat

bench seat are each itted with a

three-point inertia reel seat belt.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy

water or a textile cleaning product,

sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

The rear centre seat of the three seat

bench seat has an integral three-

GENERAL POINTS RELATING

TO CHILD SEATS

Installing a child seat using a

three point seat belt

Although one of PEUGEOT's main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.

"Rearwards-facing"

"Forwards-facing"

When a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, it is essential that the passen-

ger air bag** is disarmed. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seri-

ously injured or killed if the air bag

were to inlate.

When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat, adjust the vehicle's seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger air bag armed**.

For maximum safety, please follow

these precautions:

- since 1992, and in accordance with

Directive 2000/3, all children un-

der the age of 12 must travel in

approved child seats* suited to

their weight, on seats itted with a

seat belt or ISOFIX mountings**.

- statistically, the safest seats in

your vehicle for the transpor-

tation of children are the rear

seats,

Intermediate longitudinal position

- a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position both in the front

and in the rear.

PEUGEOT recommends that chil-

dren should travel in the rear seats

of your vehicle:

- "rearwards-facing" up to the age

of 2,

- "forwards-facing" over the age of 2.

* According to current legislation in

the country.

** According to model.

48 - Seats and bench seats

Children under the age of 10 must

not travel in the "forward facing"

position on the front passenger seat,

unless the rear seats are already oc-

cupied by other children, cannot be

used or are absent.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- one or more children alone and un-

supervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

ADVICE ON

THE CORRECT

INSTALLATION OF A

CHILD SEAT

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an

accident.

- the keys within reach of children

Disarm the passenger air bag* when

a "rear facing" child seat is installed

on the front seat.

inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors, use the "Child lock"*.

Take care not to open the rear win-

dows by more than one third*.

To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, it side blinds on the

rear windows.

Otherwise, the child would risk being

seriously injured or killed if the air

bag were to inlate.

Remember to fasten the seat belts

or the child seat harnesses keeping

the slack in relation to the child's

body to a minimum, even for short

journeys.

For optimum installation of the child

seat, ensure that the back of the

child seat is in contact with the back

of the vehicle's seat and that the

head restraint does not cause any

discomfort.

Installing a booster seat

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.

PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, it-

ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.

If the head restraint has to be re-

moved, ensure that it is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from

being thrown around the vehicle in

the event of sharp braking.
