SAFETY
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 vehi-
cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the air bag systems
checked.
All work on the air bag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is car-
ried out by qualifi ed personnel of
the PEUGEOT network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an air bag is
triggered cannot be ruled out. In
fact, the bag infl ates almost in-
stantly (within a few milliseconds)
then defl ates within the same time
discharging the hot gas via open-
ings provided for this purpose. 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.
Side air bags
Put approved covers only on the seats. These will not hinder i nfl ation of the
side air bags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could ca use injury to the
chest or arms if the side air bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than neces-
sary.
Curtain air bags
