SAFETY
SEAT BELTS Pretensioning front seat
belts with force limiter
Safety in the event of front
impacts has been improved
by means of the introduction of
pretensioning seat belts with force
limiter for the front seats. Depending
on the force of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts and pulls them
against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the
occupant, increasing his protection. 3-door
5-door
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are equipped with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
You can store the seat belt buckles in
the housing
A .
Fastening/Unfastening the seat
belts
Pull the strap, then insert the buckle
into the stalk.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts, press the
button on the stalk.

SAFETY The driver must ensure that
the passengers use the seat
belts correctly and that they
are all properly restrained
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role fully.
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The seat belt is stored automatically
when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in
the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fi tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of
a collision, on emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rapidly
on the strap and releasing it. 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 be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modifi ed to avoid altering its
performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked
regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer and
particularly if the straps show signs
of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product,
sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt
is positioned and rolled up correctly. Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years
old or shorter than one metre fi fty,
- do not use the strap-guide * when a child seat is installed.
- never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your lap.

Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impacts,
the pre-tensioning device may be
triggered before and independently
of the air bags. Triggering of the pre-
tensioners is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the
seat belts system checked, and if
necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

SAFETY
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle
in the impact detection zones (see
diagram): if the triggering threshold is
reached, the air bags infl ate instantly
and protect the occupants of the
vehicle.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They
are deployed simultaneously, except
in cases where the passenger air bag
is disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact zone

A in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from
the front of the vehicle towards the rear.
The air bag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia
to cushion his forward movement. The
air bags therefore limit the risk of injury
to the head and chest.
Front air bag malfunction
Flashing indicates an air
bag malfunction, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The
air bags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact

Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle. The air bags are
not deployed in the case of minor
impacts, rear impacts or in certain
roll-over conditions. The seat belt
is suffi cient to ensure maximum
protection in these situations. The
seriousness of a collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of the collision.

Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard
during infl ation.

SAFETY
Disarming the passenger
air bag

To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm
the passenger air bag when you
install a "rear-facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the air bag were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1 , turn
it to the "OFF" position, then
remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.
If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light on
the instrument panel remains
on until the passenger air bag
is reactivated.
The curtain air bag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the
vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a
malfunction of at least one
of these air bags.
Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.
Disarming (check)
Air bags malfunction
* According to version.
SIDE AIR BAGS * AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS *
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
The triggering of these air bags
requires a serious side impact
applied in the side impact zone B ,
perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a
horizontal plane and from the outside
of the vehicle towards the inside. The
side air bag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the door
trim pad. It therefore limits the risk of
injury to the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.

SAFETY

For the front, side and curtain
air bags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety
rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the air bags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is carried
out by qualifi ed personnel of the
PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked. Front air bags
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 fascia.
Smoke as little as possible;
deployment of the air bags can
cause burns or the risk of injury from
a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Curtain air bags
Do not fi x or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag infl ates.
The triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission 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.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
fl ates almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging hot gas
via the openings provided for this
purpose.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not infl ate.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the
infl ation of the side air bags. Consult
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the front
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
