Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot Traveller Van First Generation (2016-2026)

Safety

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched off.

Deployment of one or more of the

airbags is accompanied by a slight

emission of 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 slight

irritation.

Airbags

System designed to contribute towards

improving the safety of the occupants (with the

exception of the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if

so equipped) in the event of violent collisions.

The airbags supplement the action of the seat

belts fitted with force limiters.

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.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors

record and analyse the front and side impacts

sustained in the impact detection zones:

The noise of detonation related to the

deployment of one or more airbags may

result in a slight loss of hearing for a

short time.

Impact detection zones

-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags

are deployed instantly and contribute

towards better protection of the occupants

of the vehicle (with the exception of

the centre seat in rows 2 and 3, if so

equipped); 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 roll-over conditions, the airbags

may not be deployed; the seat belt

alone contributes towards ensuring your

protection in these situations.

passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in

the event of a serious front impact to all or part

of the front 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.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally 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

abdomen and head of the front occupant of the

vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.

Operating fault

When the ignition is on, this warning

lamp comes in the seat belt warning

display screen. It stays on while the

airbag is deactivated.
