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 air bag isdisarmed. Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buzzer and themessage "Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passen-ger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front pas-senger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light onthe instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.

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 remo- ved, turn the air bag slot to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bagand thus ensure the safety of yourpassenger in the event of an impact. Operating check This is confirmed by an indicator light, accompanied by an audiblesignal and a message on the multi-
function display. With the ignition on (2nd notch), illu- mination of this warning light accom-panied by an audible signal and themessage "Passenger air bag
disarmed" on the multi-function dis-
play, indicates that the passenger airbag is disarmed (switch in the"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on thedoor side. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisionswhich could cause injury to thechest, the abdomen or the head.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on theinstrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
134
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc,
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by10% and so on for every 1000metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads
: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the hea- viest items are as close as possibleto the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling : towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant. As the fan is electricallycontrolled, its cooling capacity is notdependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas 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 bra-
king distance.Lights : adjust your headlamps so
that they do not dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer. Side wind : take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
