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 pre-
tensioning seat belts with force limiter
for the front seats. Depending on the
force of the impact, the pretension-
ing 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 oc-
cupant, 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 ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
t h e y w i l l n o t f u l fi l t h e i r r o l e f u l l y .
If the seats have armrests * , the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
T h e s e a t b e l t s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a n i n -
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically 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.
T h e i n e r t i a r e e l s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a n a u -
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, 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,
-
m u s t n o t b e t r a n s f o r m e d o r m o d i fi e d
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 regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly 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
o l d o r s h o r t e r t h a n o n e m e t r e fi f t y ,
- 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 se-
riousness of the impacts , the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tension-
ers is accompanied by a slight emis-
sion 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 neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model.

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-lim-
iting seat belts. The electronic detec-
tors register and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle in the im-
pact detection zones (see diagram):
if the triggering threshold is reached,
t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y a n d p r o -
tect 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 passen-
ger 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 hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The air bag
i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t o f
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 trig-
gered in the event of a seri-
ous impact
Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the air
b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle. The air bags are not de-
ployed in the case of minor impacts,
rear impacts or in certain roll-over
c o n d i t i o n s . T h e s e a t b e l t i s s u f fi c i e n t
to ensure maximum protection in
these situations. The seriousness of
a collision depends on the nature of
the obstacle and the speed of the ve-
hicle at the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard dur-
i n g i n fl a t i o n .

SAFETY
Disarming the passenger air
bag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag

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 passen-
ger 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 pas-
senger in the event of an impact. If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
air bag is reactivated.

windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle 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 mal-
function of at least one of
these air bags.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
The air bags may no longer be trig-
gered in the event of a serious impact.

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 re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B , perpen-
dicular 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
i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t
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 cur-
tain air bags to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing 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 car-
r i e d o u t b y q u a l i fi e d p e r s o n n e l o f t h e

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; deploy-
ment 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.

The detonation noise may result in a

tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
