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 with
the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags operate only when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. 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 is
disarmed.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a
buzzer and the message
"Air bag fault" on the
multifunction display , con
tact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. Disarming the passenger air
bag*
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install a
rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat.
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming slot
1, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
it keeping the slot in this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the disarming process.
* According to destination

In the "OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is
removed, turn the air bag slot to the" ON " position to reactivate the air
bag and thus ensure the safety of
your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Operating check
This is confirmed by an indicator
light, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multi–function display.
With the ignition on (2nd
notch), illumination of this
warning light accompanied
by an audible signal and the
message "Passenger air
bag disarmed" on the multifunction
display, indicates that the passenger
air bag is disarmed (slot in the
"OFF" position). SIDE AIR BAGS AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS
The side air bags are incorporated
into the frame of the front seat back,
on the door side.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
into the door pillars and the upper
part of the passenger compartment.
They are deployed independently of
each other depending on which side
the collision occurs.
Operating check
This is confirmed by a light on the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multi–function display.
If this indicator light comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and the mes
sage 'Air bag(s) faulty' ,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer
