Safety

Impact detection zones

Airbags

System designed to contribute towards

improving the safety of the occupants (with the

exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the

event of violent collisions.

The airbags supplement the action of the force-

limiting seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

Instructions for children

Use a suitable child seat, if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than

one and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure

more than one person.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer

to the corresponding section.

A. Frontal impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

in the event of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute

towards better protection of the occupants

(with the exception of the centre seat in row

2); immediately after the impact, the airbags

deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder

visibility or the exit of the occupants,

in the case of a minor or rear impact or

in certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt

smoke emissions and a noise, due to the

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

Although this smoke is not harmful,

sensitive individuals may experience slight

irritation.

The noise generated by the deployment

of one or more airbags (detonation)

may result in mild and temporary loss of

hearing.

Depending on the nature and

seriousness of the impact, the

pyrotechnic system may be deployed

before and independently of the airbags.

Deployment of the pretensioners is

accompanied by a slight discharge of

harmless smoke and a noise, due to the

activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge

incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp is lit.

After an impact, get the seat belt system

checked and if necessary have it replaced

by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop.

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

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.

Safety

Front airbags

Lateral airbags

System which protects the driver and front

passenger(s) in the event of a serious front

impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the

head and thorax.

If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that

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, between the

abdomen and head.

The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

fitted in the roof.

When driving, keep the glove box closed.

Otherwise, this could cause injury in the

event of an accident or sudden braking.

Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest

frame, door side.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated, in the

event of a serious front impact to all or part of

the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal

centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane

and directed from the front to the rear of the

vehicle.

The front airbag inflates between the thorax

and head of the front occupant of the vehicle

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

dashboard, passenger side, to cushion their

forward movement.

The airbags are deployed on one side in the

event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone, 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's abdomen and head and the

associated door trim panel.

Safety

Curtain airbags

Advice

Front 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

steering wheel or dashboard, as this

could cause injuries when the airbags are

deployed.

If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that

contributes towards greater protection for the

driver and passengers (with the exception of

the central seats) in the event of a serious side

impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the

side of the head.

For the airbags to be fully effective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting

position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the

occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,

object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything

close to or in the way of the airbag release

trajectory; this could cause injuries during

their deployment.

Never modify the original definition of your

vehicle, particularly in the area directly

around the airbags.

After an accident or if the vehicle has

been stolen, have the airbag systems

checked.

All work on the airbag systems must be

carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or

a qualified workshop.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned

are observed, a risk of injury or of minor

burns to the head, chest or arms when an

airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.

The airbag inflates almost instantly (within

a few milliseconds) then deflates within

the same time discharging the hot gas via

openings provided for this purpose.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

The airbags are deployed on one side in the

event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular

to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle

on a horizontal plane and directed from the

outside towards the inside of the vehicle.

The curtain airbag inflates between the outer

rear passenger and the windows.

Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the

grab handles installed on the roof, they

play a part in securing the curtain airbags.

The airbags may no longer be deployed in the

event of a serious impact.

In the event of a minor impact or bump on

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 is deployed.
