AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of violent collisions. They
supplement 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 detec-
tion zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the air bags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the vis-
ibility of the occupants or their pos-
sible 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
suffi cient to provide maximum pro-
tection in these situations.
Front air bags
The front air bags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
They are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger.

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

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more air bags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front air bag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
fascia to cushion his forward movement.

Steering column air bag *
- Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than
necessary.
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; de- ployment of the air bags can cause
burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
- Never remove or pierce the steer- ing wheel or hit it violently.
* According to country.
Front side air bags
- Only put approved covers on the
seats. These will not hamper the
deployment of the side air bags.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
- Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag infl ates.
- Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary. Curtain air bags
- Do not fi x or glue anything to the
pillars or the roof. This could cause
injury to the head when the curtain
air bag infl ates.
- Do not remove the grab handles in- stalled on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain air bags.
For the air bags to be fully ef-
fective, 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
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air
bags or injure the occupants.
- After an accident or if the ve- hicle 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 slight burns to the head,
chest or arms, when an air bag is
deployed, cannot be ruled out. The
bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates
within the same time discharging
the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.
