nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
* According to country.
In order to guarantee the correct opera-
tion and the deployment of the roll-over
bars if roll-over is detected, the follow-
ing conditions must be complied with:
- no accessory which is not recom-
mended by PEUGEOT should be
in contact with or i xed to the roll-
over bars,
- no object should block or stop the
movement of the roll-over bars,

pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts 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 occupant's chest.
This improves their protection.

SAFETY
94

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 fuli l their role fully.
The seat belts are i 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 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 i tted with an
automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event
of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can
release the device by pulling rap-
idly 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 person of adult size 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 modii 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
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 passen-
ger is less than 12 years old or shorter
than one metre i fty.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure 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 discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge 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.

SAFETY

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in
the event of violent collisions. They sup-
plement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection
zones:
-
in the event of a serious impact, the
air bags are deployed instantaneous-
ly
and protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact,
the air bags del ate rapidly so that
they do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is suf-
i cient to provide maximum protec-
tion in these situations.

The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone. Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s air bag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger’s air bag is incorporat-
ed in the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger’s front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the longitu-
dinal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal plane and directed from the front
to the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag inl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement.
The deployment of one or more air
bags is accompanied by a slight
discharge of harmless smoke and
a noise, due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

SAFETY
96
To guarantee the safety of your
child, it is imperative that the pas-
senger air bag is disarmed when
you install a "rear facing" child seat
on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were triggered. If both air bag warning lights come
on continuously, do not install a
"rear facing" child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Deactivation
Only the front passenger’s air bag can
be disarmed:

 with the ignition off , insert the key
in the passenger air bag disarming
switch 1 ,

 turn it to the "OFF" position,

 then, remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
According to version, this warn-
ing light comes on either on the
instrument panel or on the cen-
tral bar when the ignition is on
and until the air bag is re-armed. Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn
switch
1 to the "ON" position to re-arm
the air bag and so guarantee the safety
of your front passenger in the event of
an impact. Operating fault
If this warning light comes on
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible warn-
ing and a message on the
multifunction display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.

* According to country.
Steering column air bag *
System which protects the driver's
knees in the event of a serious front im-
pact.
This air bag is incorporated in the fascia
below the steering column.
Activation
It is deployed at the same time as the
front air bags.
Side air bags
System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a violent
side impact in order to limit the risks of
injury to the chest.
Each side air bag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side.
Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a violent impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone
B, operating at
right angles to the longitudinal axis of
the vehicle in a horizontal plane and
from the exterior of the vehicle towards
the interior.
The side air bag comes between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel. Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The air bag may not trigger in an
impact or minor accident on the
side of the vehicle.
The air bag does not trigger in a
front or rear impact.
Operating fault If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction
display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer trigger in the event of a
violent impact.

!
SAFETY
98
For the air bags 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 air bags (a child,
pet, object...). This could hamper the
operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
All work on the air bag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualii ed personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of injury
or of slight burns to the head, chest
or arms when an air bag is triggered
cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the bag
inl ates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then del ates within the
same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.
* According to country. Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the fascia.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the air bags can ca use burns or
the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Steering column air bag *
Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.
Side air bags
Only put suitable covers on the seats. Contact a PEUGEOT deale r.
Do not i x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could ca use injury to the
chest or arms when the side air bag inl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.
