The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the seat belts cor-
rectly 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 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 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 reeled in 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.
*
According to model. 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 regu-
lations, all repairs and checks must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer who
can guarantee that the work is carried
out correctly, or qualifi ed workshop.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop 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 pas-
senger 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 se-
riousness 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 car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY

Front airbags
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 dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags *
Only put approved covers on the seats, compatible with deployment of the lateral air-
bags. To see the range of compatible seat covers for your vehicle, visit a PEUGEOT
dealer (see "Practical information § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags *
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head when
the curtain airbag infl ates.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the airbags or in-
jure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle
has been stolen or broken into,
have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT deal-
er or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned above are observed, a risk of
injury or of slight burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag is de-
ployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then
defl ates within the same time dis-
charging hot gas via the openings
provided for this purpose.
