SAFETY
-
For the front, side and
curtain air bags to be ful-
ly 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 ham -
per 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 qualiied 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; 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. Curtain air bags
Do not ix or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag inlates.
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 cannot
be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inlates
almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then delates 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 in
-
late.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in
-
lation of the side air bags. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not ix or glue anything to the front
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag inlates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

SEAT BELTS
Seat belt height adjustment:
- to lower: pull the control towards
you and slide it downwards,
- to raise: slide the control upwards. To fasten the seat belts
F
Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.
F Check that the seat belt is
fastened correctly by pulling the
strap.
To unfasten the seat belts
F Press the button on the buckle. Driver’s seat belt not fastened/
unfastened warning light
The warning light comes
on each time the ignition is
switched on.
It remains on until the driver fastens
his seat belt.
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning
light lashes for two minutes accompa -
nied by an increasingly audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display. Once these two minutes have
elapsed, the warning light remains lit
until the driver’s seat belt is fastened.
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of seat belts with pre-tensioner
and force limiter for the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the
impact, the pre-tensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the bodies of the
occupants. The pre-tensioning seat belts are ac-
tive when the ignition is on.
The force limiter eases the pressure
of the seat belt on the body of the oc-
cupant in the event of an accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are itted with three
three-point inertia reel seat belts.

87
SAFETY
-
The driver must ensure
that the passengers use
the seat belts correctly and
that they are all properly re-
strained 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 fulil 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 itted with an in -
ertia reel permitting automatic ad-
justment 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 itted 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 modiied 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
ifty,
- 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-ten-
sioners 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 nec -
essary replaced, by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the itting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not itted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is itted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signiicant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude. Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approach -
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the cool
-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning per -
mits the recovery of engine power and
therefore an increase in the towing ca -
pacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Braking: Towing increases the
braking distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.
Side wind: Take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
