Airbags

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occupants

in the event of a serious collision;

they work in conjunction with the force

limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronic detectors record and analyse

the front and side impacts suffered in

the impact detection zones:

in the event of a minor or rear

impact and in certain roll-over

conditions, the airbags will not

be deployed; the seat belt alone

is sufﬁcient to provide maximum

protection in these situations.

in the event of a serious impact, the

airbags inﬂate instantly and protect

the occupants of the vehicle.

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 seriousness of the collision

depends on the nature of the obstacle

and the speed of the vehicle at the

moment of impact.

Airbags

Good practice

Airbags only operate when the

ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once.

If a second impact occurs (during the

same or a subsequent accident), the

airbag will not operate.

The deployment of an airbag or airbags

is accompanied by a slight discharge

of harmless 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

some irritation.

Lateral airbags

Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child,

pet, object...). This could hinder 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 checked.

All work on the airbag system is strictly

forbidden unless it is carried out by

qualiﬁed personnel at a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Only put recommended covers on

the seats. These will not hinder

inﬂation of the lateral airbags. Contact

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat

backs. This could cause injury to the

chest or arms when the lateral airbag

inﬂates.

Do not sit with the upper part of the

body any nearer to the door than

necessary.

The noise of the detonation may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short

time.

Even if all of the precautions

deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,

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.

Never remove or pierce the steering

wheel or hit it violently.

It is imperative that the

passenger's airbag is deactivated

if a child seat is installed facing

rearwards. Refer to the "Children on

board" section of chapter 4.

Airbags

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes

on in the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the

screen, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop to have

the system checked. The airbags may

no longer be deployed in the event of a

serious impact.

Lateral airbags

This is a 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

seat backrest frame, on the door side.

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

Curtain airbags

This is a system which protects the

driver and passengers in the event of a

serious side impact in order to limit the

risk of head injuries.

Each curtain airbag is ﬁtted in the

pillars and the upper part of the

passenger compartment.

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.

Deployment

It is 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.

Deployment

It 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 lateral airbag inﬂates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

corresponding door trim panel.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between

the occupant of the vehicle and the

windows.

Airbags

Reactivation

In the "OFF" position, the passenger airbag

will not be deployed in the event of an impact.

As soon as the child seat is removed, turn

the airbag switch to the "ON" position to

reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the

safety of your passenger in the event of an

impact.

Front airbag fault

If this warning lamp comes

on, accompanied by an

audible signal and a message

in the screen, consult a

PEUGEOT dealer or a

Front airbags

Deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can

be deactivated:

The front airbags are ﬁtted in the

centre of the steering wheel for the

driver and in the dashboard for the

front passenger(s).

qualiﬁed workshop to have

the system checked.

With the ignition switched off,

If the two airbag warning lamps

are on continuously, do not install

a rear-facing child seat. Contact

a PEUGEOT or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

turn it to the "OFF" position,

then remove the key keeping the

switch in the new position.

Deployment

They are deployed simultaneously,

unless the passenger's front airbag

has been deactivated, in the event of

a serious front impact applied to all or

part of the front impact zone A in the

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle

on a horizontal plane directed from the

front towards the rear of the vehicle.

The airbag warning lamp in the

instrument panel remains on

while the airbag is deactivated.

The front airbag inﬂates between the

front occupant of the vehicle and the

dashboard to cushion their forward

movement.

To ensure the safety of your child,

it is essential to deactivate the

passenger airbag when you install

a rear-facing child seat on the front

passenger seat. Otherwise, the child

would risk being killed or seriously

injured if the airbag were to inﬂate.
